Fonikz has proven to be the most successful means of registering words in memory. Since slow readers have trouble registering complex words in memory, the special exercises are necessary to increase reading speed. All the exercises in this program help to register the individual sounds and words in memory.

"Read Write Speak Better English" uses the new phonetic alphabet (Fonikz) to teach reading with phonics. Students learn to read and speak English quickly with this new multi sensory/programed learning process. Reading out loud is also part of the process. The study techniques include visualization, syllabication, pronunciation, syllable stress, silent association, formatted vowel symbols, and spelling drills. This course does three things: It helps those who speak English improve their speech, comprehension, and reading speed. It is also for ESL students who want to improve their English on their own. With programmed learning, students learn to read on their own simply by studying and reading the book.

English reading is more complex than regular reading because English has two sets of symbols: alphabetic and phonetic. English readers must convert alphabetic symbols into phonics before expressing them as spoken words. This makes learning to read faster a difficult task without phonics: exchange = ekschanj. Note: This workbook is for advanced, experienced readers. If you are just learning to read, it might be better to start with the workbook, Early Reading Skills. It starts with the basics such as alphabetics, phonetics, and syllabication.

The introductory price is 50% off. Take advantage of it! This workbook takes students from preschool up to high school level reading with a unique multi-sensory word recognition process. The process includes phonetic decoding, pronunciation drills, syllabication, enunciation, visualization, memorization, syllable stress, handwriting, and reading out loud. With this program, students quickly learn the new phonetic alphabet and the Family of English sounds. It allows both students and adults to register words in memory for reading recall in spite of problems with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, hearing loss, speech impediments, and other learning disabilities. The articles in this workbook can be used for reading skills practice. They teach phonological awareness while giving students "read out loud" reading practice. Students may practice reading the articles several times until they can read them through without making mistakes.
