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 ideal for children aged between 4 and 8 years old, although it suitable for older children who are experiencing reading difficulties. The program 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

Phonological awareness

"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!!"

"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."
"Jordan has made much, much more progress with Reading Doctor than he ever would have with just manual techniques."
