About the application:

Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro is a fun, effective and scientifically based phonics teaching program which makes it simple to teach kids the links between the letters of the alphabet and the speech sounds they typically represent in written English. Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro is based on research into reading acquisition and was developed by reading specialist and speech-language pathologist Dr. Bartek Rajkowski, PhD. Anybody with an interest in teaching kids to read through phonics can use Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro to assist kids learn common letter-sound relationships! Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro is based on our flagship tool, ReadingSounds® 1 Pro, which is used in over 1000 Australian schools and is being described by educators as a breakthrough in teaching kids how to read. PLEASE NOTE: - This apk is Australian! US and UK accent options will be added in the next modernize! - Although kids love using it, Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro is not just a mini game - it is a strong and fully customisable teaching program. Please take some time to experiment with it yourself before trying it with students! Why is letter-sound knowledge so important? The past a few decades of research have provided conclusive evidence that kids who are powerful readers are skilled in using letter-sound knowledge to learn fresh words when reading. Skilled readers are awesome at understanding that words are created up of speech sounds (a skill called phonemic awareness) and they are also awesome at understanding how these speech sounds are represented by letters. This knowledge helps kids to ‘decode’ written language and teach themselves fresh words. Difficulties with these skills are hallmarks of the struggling reader. Furthermore, teaching ways that start by teaching students letter-sound relationships (called ‘synthetic phonics’ ways) have been shown through research to be more effective than another approaches in teaching reading, regardless of whether students do or do not have reading difficulties. The evidence is clear: letter-sound knowledge is crucial in learning to read and spell since it helps students to teach themselves fresh words. How does Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro help? Understanding that letters typically represent certain speech sounds poses a challenge to beginning readers since there is no meaningful relationship between the method that letters look and the speech sounds they typically represent. For example, there is no reason why the squiggle “s” represents the sound /s/ as in “sun”. Kids must also learn to distinguish between related letters and sounds (e.g. “b” versus “d”) when learning letter-sound patterns. Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro uses a patent pending, self-adjusting, multisensory teaching way to assist teach beginning and struggling readers to rapidly, automatically and accurately recognise and discriminate between the most common letter-sound patterns in English. Kids are taught meaningful associations between the method that letters look and the speech sounds they typically represent through a special system of visual, auditory and articulatory (speech sound) memory aids, or mnemonics. The teaching system in the apk automatically identifies what a kid knows, what the kid does not know, and which letter-sound patterns the kid confuses. Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro teaches kids to discriminate between confusing patterns, and strengthens weaknesses in letter-sound understanding. Who could use Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro? Letter Sounds™ 1 Pro is ideal for helping beginning readers, students with reading difficulties and students learning English as a second language. It is a excellent complement to any phonics tool and is fully customisable, making it simple to set up custom activities to teach students specific letter-sound patterns. We are confident it will quickly become a favourite program for teachers, parents, reading professionals and anybody else with an interest in the teaching of reading and spelling!
