Levels for Mastery
Level 1: Building blocks
Letter-Sound Relationship: Readers trace letters, unlocking a series of photographic images that begin with that letter’s sound, prompting them to say them aloud. This helps students remember the letter-sound correspondence. Readers’ voices and interactions are recorded for a teacher to access and review within their app.
Level 2: Guided practice
Building Words: Readers build words using word families and the sounds they learned in Level 1. A reader can access the visual cues if they need help, through the sound tiles. Once a new word has been built, readers are prompted to verbally record themselves reading the word. This is saved for teachers to access and review.
Level 3: Acquiring word skills
Spelling: Readers spell words as they are spoken to them, using the sound tiles included. Once a new word has been built, the word is saved for teachers to access and review.
Level 4: Learning inside connected text
The Storybook: A story is read to students as the print is highlighted so that students can follow along. Then, students are prompted to touch letter(s) that correspond to a spoken phoneme. Letters are dynamic and help to reinforce the sound/letter correspondence.
Teachers: Assign and view
Individualized Instruction and Real-Time Feedback: Teachers have the ability to distribute customized curriculum to students, accessible through the student version of the app. As students progress throughout levels at their own pace, teachers can monitor a child’s spoken and tactile interaction with the letters, enabling a teacher to see where a student needs further support.
Evidence-Based Methods to Developing the Skill and Will to Read
Studies conducted show an increase in phonological awareness and fluency as well as improved word identification, spelling and decoding when compared to control groups.
See Words: School has received a 5 star review and certification from the Educational App Store.
“It eases the administrative burden on teachers and provides children with useful and stimulating tasks to help their reading skills grow. There are quite a few apps that aim to develop some aspect of learning to read but few that are as comprehensive or useful as See Words: School.”
