Sound Reading Online
A New Approach to Literacy for Emergent Readers Facing Persistent Reading Challenges
Far too often, traditional reading programs focus on memorizing the rules of the English language. The reality is, there are students who do not respond to this instruction.
Sound Reading Online delivers impactful online, literacy intervention to any student facing persistent reading challenges. Sound Reading’s methodology aims to develop Phonemic Awareness and Auditory Processing skills, two key skills in becoming a full reader!
How Does Sound Reading Work?
Sound Reading Online is based on print-to-speech processing and elevates a student’s reading ability by rapidly developing Phonemic Awareness and Auditory Processing skills. Sound Reading is not a phonics program. Sound Reading develops the skills necessary to complete phonics programs. Our unique methodology strengthens the innate skills all readers have!
Phonemic Awareness is an auditory and oral process. An example of a Phonemic Awareness skill is to correctly identify every sound in the word in ‘kite’.
The answer: /k/ /i/ /te/.
Auditory Processing refers to how the brain perceives and interprets sound information. Many reading disorders stem from Auditory Processing challenges.
Sound Reading heavily relies on audio cues to develop the Auditory Process.

What is Sound Reading Online? [Overview]
Students struggling to memorize the many rules of the English language have a new road to literacy. Sound Reading uses engaging, intuitive reading activities to rapidly increase students’ reading ability.

Student Instruction
In order to deliver individualized instruction, Sound Reading Online is a single solution, divided into four (4) distinct programs. That means your student can progress through multiple programs over the course of Sound Reading. Read about them below!
Hop, Skip, Jump is the first program in Sound Reading’s Foundation Suite, and is meant for Pre-Emergent Readers. It provides an introduction to essential building blocks of literacy such as Phonemic Awareness and Auditory Processing.
It includes animated characters and engaging themes for pre-emergent readers. A key focus is Errorless Learning, making sure students have a positive learning environment.
Launch Pad follows the same skill level and methodology as Hop, Skip, Jump but is designed to be more appropriate for older students. Some themes within activities are changed. It’s important that students in Launch Pad begin working immediately so they can begin improving!
Launch Pad is only assigned in unique circumstances with older students.

Auto-Placement Assessment
Your child will begin a 3-minute reading assessment. This initial assessment, and period assessment after some levels, are the only times your child will be faced with time pressure. We understand how important learning in a supportive environment is to emergent readers. Your child’s score on the Auto-Placement Assessment will determine their initial program in Sound Reading.
While the Auto-Placement Assessment takes away the stress of having to calculate what program your child should be in, you will always have the option to manually choose your child’s program.
Engaging Instruction, Empowering Results
Sound Reading’s activities are grounded in audio cues. Students work to complete online activities, then reinforce their learning with included Companion Readers. Sound Reading comes with 39 types of activities that use progressive intensity to consistently challenge your child.
Sound Reading treats reading disorders through rapid intervention, using innate skills that all students have. This program effectively compliments school instruction and is perfect for students falling behind their peers!

Sound Reading Instruction in 3 Steps
Through online instruction, your child works individually to complete levels of interactive activities. These activities develop skills essential to improving your child’s reading. The skills that are developed in this instruction are reinforced via 1-on-1 reading practice with you.
Students should expect to use Sound Reading, or some form of reading exercise, for 20-30 minutes at least five (5) times a week. Repetition and progressive intensity are key points of the program. As your child progresses, they will be exposed to more challenging exercises. This is done to build strong, impactful literacy skills.
