Placement.jpg

Separate placement for reading and spelling

The student is placed on the reading and spelling programme separately according to ability; this means you are working at the right level with built in checking systems to monitor progress.

Personalized learning

The programme is highly personalized meaning no two students will be working at the same level or pace; so from 3 letter words to adult reading, Units of Sound fits a range of needs.

 
Playback.jpg

Voice recording and playback

To aid pronunciation, self assessment and focus, the student records their own voice reading and listens back. A simple but effective aspect of the program. Great for students whose first language is not English.

Revisiting

Revisiting is the model of how we learn: a little bit at a time. Revisiting words and sounds again and again, over many lessons, but with a little something different each time, is the essential learning model for Units of Sound.

Screen Tutor

Short videos are built into the programme to help students if they get stuck; from the Welcome Screen through to Dictation, each screen tutor explains what to do and how to do it.

Your Library

At your finger tips is a comprehensive library containing everything you will need, from good practice checklists, to resources and certificates that help reward achievement.

Help!

A designated Help site built into the program designed to provide easy access to everything you need to know about Units of Sound. It includes Help for tutors, technicians and parents.
