Reading is the single most important skill people need to succeed in life. Unfortunately, many kids have a lot of trouble learning how to read. That’s why I created Reading Kingdom – an online reading program that uses a unique approach which teaches kids not only how to say words, but also what words say. It’s reading with meaning – without having to try and figure out the hundreds of phonics rules that are impossible to memorize – and don’t work most of the time. You can read my essay “How phonetic is English” here.
Phonics is an essential part of reading instruction. But English is highly irregular. In fact, studies show that only 1 out of 5 words can be sounded out & there are 1,768 ways to spell 40 common sounds. Consider the sentence to the right where “ea” can be pronounced 13 different ways!
That’s why Reading Kingdom uses a new “phonics plus” model of reading instruction that features innovative techniques to teach all the reading & writing skills in an integrated fashion so that they complement and reinforce each other while fostering comprehension at every level. The result is that children become successful readers. You can read about Reading Kingdom’s approach here.
Reading Kingdom also sells numerous other online and offline educational products designed to teach reading, spelling, writing, comprehension, and basic math skills, as well as a reading program for students on the autism spectrum.
