Phono-Graphix® for Teachers

The Phono-Graphix method gives key reading instruction and intervention for every child, with proven results.

As a blueprint for literacy instruction and how children learn best, Phono-Graphix is remarkably flexible, allowing teachers to address the full range of students in any number of educational environments. As a clinical intervention, Phono-Graphix has been proven to effect cognitive changes in the brain and is 98% effective at helping children ages 6-16 to reach grade level reading, including those diagnosed with learning disabilities. From very young students first learning to read, to stumbling or failing students who are frustrated and hopeless, Phono-Graphix gives teachers the tools for quickly diagnosing students’ needs. It efficiently addresses the essential reading skills of decoding, encoding, auditory processing, code knowledge, and sequencing, through whole class or small group instruction or one-on-one sessions.

Give your young students the foundation they need to acheive true literacy and avoid reading problems in their later years

Phono-Graphix is used for initial reading instruction for preschool through elementary students, covering the most basic sound-symbol correspondences through managing multisyllable words and special endings. As the ‘Word Work’ component of literacy instruction, it is used with any literature in the curriculum. Commonly, this instruction involves 10-15 minute lessons for the whole class, followed by individual seat work or work stations. As instruction for new and emerging readers, Phono-Graphix has been proven to head off the need for later reading interventions (Dias & Juniper, 2002).

Identify at-risk students and diagnose reading problems for rapid remediation

Phono-Graphix addresses the needs of elementary-age students through adults. Diagnostic tools make it possible to pin-point stumbling blocks and focus time on only the instruction needed, so students see immediate progress and remediation time is cut down drastically. Commonly, interventions are in weekly or biweekly small group or one-on-one hour-long sessions, with average time for remediation of only 12 weeks! As a clinical intervention, Phono-Graphix has been proven to effect cognitive changes in the brain (Simos, 2002, Simos, 2007) and is 98% effective at helping children ages 6-16, including those diagnosed with learning disabilities, to reach grade level reading (McGuinness, C., McGuinness, D., & McGuinness, G., 1996).

Give the most challenged students the instruction they need and deserve

• Phono-Graphix is used with amazing results for students with moderate or even severe challenges
• Accurate treatment of the phonetic code allows the least amount of information necessary to be learned/memorized
• Procedural and errorless instruction takes away the need for explanations that students may struggle to understand
• Phono-Graphix has been shown to help special education students close the gap with their peers (Endress, 2007)
