Reading Journey teaches children the foundational literacy skills through a systematic, interactive and multisensory approach grounded in the science of reading. It is designed for children 4+ years old and teaches letter recognition, letter sound correspondence, letter formation, and how to blend and segment sounds within words to support reading and spelling. Specifically designed for early readers and English language learners, Reading Journey utilizes a synthetic phonics approach based on the science of reading. Synthetic phonics is a structured approach to teaching phonics through explicitly teaching letters (graphemes) and sounds (phonemes). Through synthetic phonics instruction, children are taught how to blend phonemes together to read words and how to segment phonemes within a word to spell. This application includes nine levels. Each level introduces 4 new phonemes or sounds and reinforces the previously learned phonemes through a structured set of exercises. The nine levels teach 35 of the 44 sounds or phonemes in the English language. Additional content expanding coverage of the nine remaining English phonemes, phonemic awareness, high frequency words (reading and writing them fluently) and morphology will follow this first stage. The Reading Journey App was created by an experienced Learning Support teacher with a Masters Degree in Special Education and 18+ years of experience teaching in local and international schools in the United States of America, Hong Kong and Switzerland. Her expertise in early literacy development is evident throughout this purposefully-built, research-backed early reading program.
