Each lesson works to promote skill in phoneme segmenting and blending, the mastery of sound-symbol relationships, handwriting, spelling, reading fluency, and therefore reading comprehension.
The revolutionary Sound Reading System is an advanced synthetic phonics reading and spelling programme.
The Sound Reading System takes advantage of comprehensive knowledge about the complex structure of the English alphabet code – the 44 sounds in the English language and 176 common spellings that represent these sounds.
This complexity is managed by careful sequencing of simple, well-structured lessons.
THE SOUND READING SYSTEM
A step-by-step approach to teaching the English alphabet code......
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 standardised tests of reading, spelling, and comprehension after 18 lessons.
SRS works with every age group, disentangling misconceptions and creating logical order for the learner.
Most importantly, no student fails to learn to read and spell.

"A good reading programme must structure lessons in such a way that neither the teacher nor the pupils are ever confused or confronted by something they cannot do. In other words, information must be introduced systematically so that it is easy to assimilate (learn)."
