Units of Sound is a multi-sensory literacy programme for anyone (8yrs+) needing to improve on their reading, spelling and writing skills in English. The programme includes: Reading, Spelling, Memory and Dictation skill areas.
An affordable, flexible programme that is tailored for each and every person – whether you are at school, college, home or at work!
The learning model of Units of Sound is based on revisiting a sound again and again but doing something different with it each time, helping with automatic reading and spelling.
The recording feature in the Reading programme provides a valuable learning tool for self-checking. By recording their voice and comparing it with the programme’s model reading, students can evaluate their own reading. This process encourages self-correction and helps build confidence and independence in reading.
Units of Sound can be tailored to the individual. Each student is placed on the programme at a level which is right for them via a reading and spelling placement.
