Launch into Phonics
is a musical phonics program
designed to motivate and encourage children to read through fun,
exciting and interactive techniques. The phonics program
incorporates the use of multi-sensory teaching. Students
participating in this program learn to read in a non-traditional
sense of using music and song. Launch Into Phonics provides an
opportunity for students to learn reading techniques by
RAPPING,
SINGING,
and CHEERING
through phonetic sounds.
This unique reading program is
the first of its kind in the United States and
internationally that places students in leveled phonics
groups. It is similar to placing students in leveled guided
reading groups. The entire class is divided into 4-5 small
groups. They are all divided according to their phonetic
abilities. Also, the students participate in individual reading
time with the teacher, writing, and working with sounds and
words. The students play a game called "Word Detective" which
encourages the students to search for words with the sounds that
they are currently studying. The goal is for the students to
be able to become fluent and skilled readers.
Parents can use this product with
their child(ren), and it can also be used as center activities
in the classroom.
Scientific research has clearly
demonstrated that exposing children to music stimulates their
overall intelligence and emotional development.
