Our scientific approach to English Language Development is based on Neurolinguistics

With our Neuro-imaging instruction process, we connect the sound-to-brain-to-written symbol link for instant recall later

The Teacher on the SONO audio. Look at SONOgram™ # 10. Listen to the sounds this SONOgram™ makes, - . (1 exposure)

Say the sounds - . into the SONO Player. (2 exposures)

Hear your voice say the sound on the SONO Player. (3 exposures)

We are now going to form this letter sound using the clock as a writing guide. Start just below the dotted line at number 9 on the clock. Go straight across to number 3. Round up toward the top line toward number 12. Continue rounding toward the number 10. Round to number 8 touch the base line, round to number 4. Stop. (4 exposures)

Say with me, - . (5 exposures)

Now write a say and write SONOgram™ #10 , - four times. (9 exposures)

Approach Consistent with CARS

Neurological Familial Cultural Instructional1) Problem: Brain

Function/Process, not Brain Structure

2) Brain Metabolism: During reading tasks involving sounds of letters or words, there is a difference in good & poor readers

1) Reading Problems: Run in Families

2) Instructional Factors: More critical for children when there is a history of poor reading

1) Print Exposure, Parental Literacy and Lap-Time Reading are clearly important

1) Influence of Instructional Factors: Under- estimated

2) The Skills that lead to good reading must be taught explicitly for several yearsSource: Barbara Foorman, Jack Fletcher and David Francis
