Sound Reading is an intervention for students who respond slowly to your primary reading instruction. When the results for your current curriculum (as diverse as Read 180™, Treasures™, Wilson Reading™ or Reading Recovery) doesn’t lead to success for all your students, your staff doesn’t need more training…your students need a different approach. Don’t do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.
Just two, thirty-minute sessions of Sound Reading added weekly to your reading program dramatically improves comprehension, fluency, decoding and spelling.
The most important and overlooked aspect of reading is that print activates our inner voice, tapping into the power of speech. Reading is a special receptive (listening) language activity.
In conversation, we translate speech into meaningful language. As we listen, we decode and identify meaningful words effortlessly. The same is true when we read. Brain research clearly shows that fluent readers use the same brain pathways to read as they do to understand conversation. Fundamental changes in our understanding of how children acquire reading skills identify new ways to teach students to read.
Sound Reading, is the intervention that dramatically improves the most important skills forming the basis for reading success. By providing targeted reading instruction Sound Reading quickly improves the key reading skills of: rapid naming, word reading fluency, phonemic awareness, reading fluency, as well as both listening and reading comprehension.
