Amazing Results!

As our website continues to evolve, more and more exciting facts about Sound Reading are being posted.

We are so excited every time more data comes back to the office because we love to help children read! All of these reports show that students that were once struggling with reading will be able to catch up to their peers. They will not only be able to finish a chapter book but now they are able to enjoy it! We are excited to share these results with everyone and can promise similar results for your family or school.

We recently added more in depth analysis and results reports under the results tab. You can read more about success in Kindergarten classrooms, with Upper Elementary School students, and with Teens and Adults.

An overview of more of the studies we have performed can be found on the website as well.

10 Resons Fonics Herts My Brane

10 Reasons Phonics Hurts My Brain

1. Weak readers also have weak auditory, speech and language skills. You should teach spoken words first.
2. Phonemic awareness must be developed before phonics makes sense.
3. English has a huge number of words that look and sound alike.
4. Phonics teaches letter sound knowledge that many students are unfamiliar with.
5. Most English words have the hardest sound buried in the middle of the word.
6. Auditory vs. Visual Memory - Reading is about 98% auditory, it is more about listening than about letters or printed words.
7. There is no standard for letter to phoneme translation - br and ch, for example, both have two letters but one has one sound while the other is two. Going from letter to phoneme instead of phoneme to letter is a struggle for many students.
8. Cognitive capacity - there is only so much space in a student’s head. Instead of learning rules and exceptions, students should learn patterns.
9. Phonics teaches students to learn accurately but slowly. Many students struggle with reading comprehension because words fall out of memory too easily.
10. Transitioning from phonics practice to authentic reading is very difficult.
