Provide at-risk students with an alternative approach to phonics, word structure, and spelling with this unique, multisensory program.
Students utilize tactile, kinesthetic, visual, and auditory modalities to:
•
Enhance memory and learning
•
Understand the structure of words without drill
Unique design unlocks the mystery for struggling readers!
Each Touchphonics lesson introduces a particular phoneme or phonemic pattern. Through manipulation of the Touch-Units®students then can link sounds to letters, recognize patterns, and build and write words before finally reading words in context. Touch-Units make decoding concepts attainable by involving four modalities: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile. Touchphonics unlocks the reading process for students of varied abilities, within the following populations:
•
Struggling Readers
•
Dyslexic students
•
Autistic students
•
Students with Attention Deficit Disorders
•
English Language Learners
•
Students with Cerebral Palsy
Word building with Touch-Units Word building is the key step in every Touchphonics lesson where students work with Touch-Units to build and manipulate words. Touch-Units are three dimensional letters and linked letter combinations that provide concrete representations of the essential English graphemes. Touch-Units are made of soft, flexible, rubber (latex free)*, with a textured surface to intensify the tactile neurological input—crucial to at-risk readers.
Easily aligns with any phonics or basal program Any phonics concept introduced can be preceded by a Touchphonics® lesson for that same concept. This allows at-risk students to develop abstract phonics concepts with targeted, tactile lessons before paper-and-pencil practice.
