his reading ability!" Cayla Maraist, M.Ed., Florida
The
very best in curriculum, computer technology and program design
ClickN' READ Phonics contains 100 precisely sequenced, research
based lessons designed by nationally recognized research professor
Dr. J. Ron Nelson resulting
in a beginning reading program that is beyond compare and has
redefined computer based instruction. All other phonics products
and programs are simply toys when compared to ClickN' READ Phonics.
The program is designed for children as young as 4 years old
and teaches the complete K-3rd grade phonics curriculum taught
at USA public schools. Children who are learning to read English
for the first time, those who are struggling with reading and
children with learning disabilities should use the program.
Many of our customers are also adults who are learning English
as a second language.
Everything needed is built into the program and it is the only
product you will need to purchase to learn to read English.
Lessons run 20 to 30 minutes and each lesson systematically
builds on the previous lesson and prepares the child for the
next lesson. Control panel screens allow easy set up, access
to progress reports, setting to repeat lessons and many other
features.
The program is used online just like viewing standard web pages.
Your child can use it at home, at Grandma's, at the office or
while on vacation. There is no software to install and no waiting
for shipping. Complete your purchase and immediately begin using
the product.
The
Letter Sound Chamber
All lessons begin here. The
onscreen instructor, ClickN' KID, gently guides your child
through interactive letter sound exercises where the letter
sounds and their corresponding letter shapes are learned
and practiced. Each lesson introduces a new letter sound
which is then practiced along with five other previously
introduced letter sounds.

Chamber your child is automatically taken to the
Listening Cube which systematically incorporates
the letter sounds taught in the Letter Sound Chamber
into beginning, middle and ending letter sounds

incorporated into a word blending exercise which
teaches your child how to decode the individual
letter sounds in a word and come up with the sound
of the word.
