Answer the Persistent Reading Challenges that Traditional Intervention Programs Overlook
In order to deliver individualized instruction, Sound Reading Online’s Foundation Suite is a single solution, divided into four (4) distinct programs. Students start on the level based on their skill level and progress through the program. That means your student can progress through multiple programs over the course of Sound Reading. Once students complete Sound Reading, they are ready to begin traditional phonics programs.

Your Student’s Instruction in 3 Simple Steps
Your child will begin a 3-minute reading assessment. This initial assessment, and benchmarking assessments 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.
Sound Reading uses 39 unique research-based activities to develop literacy skills. These activities are repeated with progressive intensity, building strong literacy foundations. This makes learning to read fun and enjoyable while developing Fluency, Decoding, and Auditory Discrimination skills and more! Use the included online Readers to reinforce the Automaticity and Reading Comprehension skills they’ve developed using Sound Reading Online!
Sound Reading treats reading disorders through adaptive and 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 comes included with electronic Companion Readers for every program in Sound Reading. These passages are completed 1-on-1 with a parent or trusted adult. The practice that students get in the online program needs to be reinforced with practical application.
Students will work to complete these additional activities and reading passages with their teacher once they complete a level of Sound Reading. These passages and develop those extra skills is a critical step in Sound Reading’s instruction.
