Research indicates that the most important factor determining whether a child will become a successful reader is their ability to use letter-sound patterns to 'decode' unfamiliar words. A phonics based approach teaches children to understand that written language is a visual code which represents the way we say words.

There are a number of crucial skills which children must develop in order to crack this code in written language.

ReadingDoctor® ReadingSounds™ 1 Pro is a software program designed for children who are beginning to read, and for children who are struggling readers. It is designed to teach crucial skills which facilitate literacy skill development using our unique, patent pending teaching system. The program strengthens the following important areas:






Letter-sound knowledge
Knowledge of the letters or groups of letters which represent the individual sounds in language

Phonemic awareness
Awareness of the individual sounds in words

Phonological awareness
Awareness of the sound structure of language

Blending
The ability to join sounds together to make words

Segmentation
The ability to break words up into separate sounds

Sight word recognition
The ability to recognise the most common words in written language

Introducing ReadingSounds™ 1 Pro




Phonics is a method of teaching reading and spelling in which children are taught the sounds that letters and letter patterns make. The last several decades of research have provided conclusive evidence that a phonics based approach to teaching children how to read and spell leads to the greatest improvements in literacy skills.

Unfortunately, there is no direct relationship between the way that letters look and the sounds they make. Furthermore, around 10% of English words do not follow typical letter-sound patterns, making learning to read and spell quite a challenge for beginning and especially for struggling readers. 

ReadingDoctor® Software facilitates rapid gains in reading and spelling ability through the use of a highly innovative teaching system to strengthen crucial phonics and sight word recognition skills.

The program uses a revolutionary, multisensory, patented method of teaching children to associate letters and letter patterns with the sounds they make as well as teaching blending, segmentation, sight word recognition and other key literacy skills found through research to be crucial in the development of reading and spelling ability. If you don't know what these terms mean, please follow this link for an explanation!

ReadingDoctor® Software uses its highy innovative teaching method to automatically adjust multisensory learning support for each student. It identifies each student's skill strengths and weaknesses. It spends less time on established skills, and more time with more support on areas of skill weakness, leading to fast, effective learning.

"As an educational psychologist with 30+ years of experience in working with kids with learning difficulties I am VERY impressed with ReadingDoctor - the best program I have come across (and I have looked!)"

"Just to let you know, we had a meeting with Amy's teacher 2 weeks ago, and found out that Amy is in the top reading group in the class...we would never have dreamt that this was possible at the start of the year..."

"The children that I have working with the programme absolutely love it and keep asking me whose turn it is!!!!!... IT's BRILLIANT and I am spreading the word!!!!!!!"

"Kerrie and I would like to express our sincere thanks to you for introducing us and our children to the brilliant ReadingDoctor literacy improvement software...In July 2008, we discovered ReadingDoctor, and, the results we have personally experienced in less than 3 months, along with Georgia's teachers feedback, have been astounding and rewarding."

"I pushed really hard to get more licences to have at least one in every class because I believe in it so much. This is currently happening. At every opportunity, I have been promoting ReadingDoctor.  I love it.  I will buy it once my own child is ready to start reading."

"ReadingDoctor Software is the best reading programme I have ever seen. I will ask the school to buy the software (more than one license). A really valuable session. An unbelievable programme. Well done Bartek. Worth the wait - 30 years!!!"

"The only thing that is proving challenging is getting Sophie to stop using the software when it is time for bed."

"Ground-breaking software. I will try to convince the principal to get it."

"NATHAN IS GOING REALLY REALLY WELL! Actually, he is doing FANTASTIC!!...He loves this program, I love this program and his reading has DEFINITELY improved. He decodes words faster...One remarkable change since ReadingDoctor delighted our home, is that Nathan now ENJOYS reading. Positively remarkable!!"

"Amazing, wonderful, absolutely fantastic!"

"I am very excited to finally see an Australian software package that offers a complete, research driven computer program. I believe the ReadingDoctor program will be invaluable to all people who desire to affect a positive and lasting change for children struggling to crack the reading code."

"It's what we have been waiting for It turns leaning into fun - that's a bonus for struggling learners."

"The potential the program offers to learners is HUGE!"

"ReadingDoctor - fantastic, well researched and will be most useful in schools."

"I believe ReadingDoctor is absolutely outstanding and keep being surprised at the way every detail has been thought out. I'd pay double without any qualms."

"I have noticed significant improvements in my oldest daughter's ability to 'sound words out' when she is reading.  It has also translated into her writing where she is making much better phonetic approximations of words she doesn't know how to spell.  I am using the program with my 4-year old daughter as well now and she is loving it."
