According to a report published by the National Reading Panel, the single best school-entry predictor of how well children will perform during the first two years of reading instruction is phonemic awareness (i.e., learning to recognize and manipulate the sounds of language).
Phonemic awareness is the foundation of literacy and vital to children's learning of the alphabet and their development of reading comprehension.
Earobics' software and activities systematically teach the critical phonological awareness, auditory processing and introductory phonics skills children must have to learn to read and spell.
- Phoneme identification
- Blending
- Segmentation
- Rhyming
- Phoneme manipulation
The Earobics software records and evaluates each response and adjusts the instruction level automatically, which ensures that each student is working at the level and pace that is right for them.
Proven Results
A study conducted by Northwestern University (Illinois) in Fall 2000 found that students with language-based learning difficulties made "statistically significant gains in phonological awareness and auditory perceptual skills" after using Earobics for 8-10 weeks.
Another study conducted by Cincinnati Ohio Children's Hospital Medical Center in Fall 2001, found that "Students with special needs made statistically significant gains on the Phonological Awareness Test (PAT) after using Earobics for 40 minute sessions, 5 days a week for 60 days."
Literacy Improvement Nationwide
Across the U.S., children using the Earobics program are achieving statistically significant improvements in phonemic awareness, reading comprehension and other vital literacy skills, including those in the following school districts:
Chicago Illinois Public Schools
Daviess County Kentucky Public Schools
Newport News Virginia Public Schools
District of Columbia Public Schools
Brevard County Florida Public Schools
Anne Arundel Maryland Public Schools
Los Angeles Unified School District
