This app is a must-have for teachers, reading specialists, and resource teachers who teach reading to students of any age. It is a complete, explicit, systematic phonics program suitable for kindergarten through adult, including middle school, high school, and community college. Ultimate Phonics is useful in any situation where reading is taught: * Beginning Readers Reading is the most important skill for education and success. If you have young children first learning to read, just an hour or two per week using Ultimate Phonics can make a huge improvement in their reading ability. * Struggling Readers Do you have students who guess and skip when they read? Did you know that word guessing causes poor reading comprehension and terrible spelling? Relying on word guessing prevents students from becoming good readers and blocks them from a good education. A good reader reads by rapidly and accurately sounding out new words. This is exactly what Ultimate Phonics teaches. It develops your students into more accurate, fluent readers with good reading comprehension. * Dyslexia, Orton-Gillingham, and Structured Literacy Ultimate Phonics is very effective for teaching dyslexics to read. The app can be used either by itself or as a supplement for Orton-Gillingham or other Structured Literacy programs designed to overcome reading difficulties. If you are an Orton-Gillingham teacher, you will love this app. It has excellent word lists and decodable sentences, all broken down and sounded out. The app also has a Find feature that lets you look up lessons matching any phonogram in a matter of seconds. This app is a great addition to any Orton-Gillingham or Structured Literacy program and is guaranteed to become a useful tool in your teaching toolkit. * Adult Literacy Adult learners love the design of the program because it teaches them to read clearly and directly, without insulting them. And tutors love Ultimate Phonics because it's easy to use and produces great results. Try it for yourself and see why Ultimate Phonics is an essential teaching tool for any adult literacy situation. * ESL Students ESL (English as a Second Language) students need to learn to read English at the same time they are learning to speak it. Ultimate Phonics effectively improves reading, spelling, and pronunciation for ESL students of all ages. *** CONTENT The complete program consists of more than 4,400 words and 2,100 sentences organized into 262 lessons.

Welcome to the Amrita Learning Reading App, specially designed for Adults. The Amrita app is a finalist in the Barbara Bush Foundation Adult Literacy XPRIZE Competition. Lessons start with learning letter sounds and continue to multi-page stories and articles, with vocabulary support in English and Spanish. The Amrita app features: - Complete instruction of the alphabet sounds and word-building skills with short, engaging videos. - Reading curriculum that features a series of stories interwoven with factual Life Skills passages. - Learning games, activities, and music within reading passages. - Reading Library with fun and interesting stories and articles with 2 special sections on self-empowerment articles and Read-with-your-child stories. The content is structured into two locales: ESL (English as a Second Language) and NS (Native Speaker). Upon entering the program, the learner is assigned to one of the locales depending on their native language. Within each locale, small learning units are sequenced to build on previously learned skills. Specific skills to decode words, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension are emphasized. The materials in the two locales are designed very differently, but both stress the use of engaging material to reduce the high dropout rate that has plagued adult learning programs.
