Each lesson works to promote skill in phoneme segmenting and blending, the mastery of sound-symbol relationships, handwriting, spelling, reading fluency, and reading comprehension. Children learn that our writing system is a code, and precisely how this code works. As a result, learning proceeds rapidly with minimal effort and with considerable satisfaction and enjoyment. On average, our students gain two years on standardized tests of reading, spelling, and comprehension after 18 lessons. Most importantly, no student fails to learn to read and spell.

Pilot studies in the UK and the US have shown that this method works equally well in the classroom, with the vast majority of children scoring one year or more above national norms at the end of the first school year. These gains are maintained and increase over time.
Trainings in the Sound Reading method are offered throughout the year and are open to everyone. Trainings and consulting services are also provided for schools, colleges of Further Education, and Youth Offending Institutions. The Thames Valley Probationary Services is piloting this method throughout its three county jurisdiction.Read more about Training Services.
