LEAP FROM PHONICS TO FLUENCY BUNDLE

Take students from learning the alphabet to becoming confident, independent readers! This bundle includes our Alphabet, Language Growth, and Elementary Reading programs to cover all five pillars of reading. Our programs use precision teaching methods and short daily sessions to maximize student engagement and growth. The Alphabet program covers letter recognition and letter sounds in isolation. This can be implemented alongside our Language Growth program that teaches phonological awareness and vocabulary. Once a student has mastered letter sounds in isolation, they can begin our Elementary Reading Program, where they complete timed exercises in phonics, high-frequency word phrases, and stories, followed by comprehension questions. Our research and evidence-based reading intervention has been an established leader in fluency for 30+ years!
