Smart Web Learning

Phonics interactive Education™ is the direct derivative online version of the highly successful Smart Way Reading and Spelling® foolproof phonics™ tutoring methodology.  It is The Gold Standard of Phonics Programs™.

The Smart Way Reading™ and Phonics interactive Education programs have assisted thousands of students, of all ages and from every walk of life, to better their decoding skills and reading ability, while also increasing their confidence and self-esteem.

Typical results show that, on average, students move from the 25th Percentile (for their age) to the 50th Percentile, in about 35-40 hours of individual or small group tutoring.  In other words, from well below to right at their age level in reading proficiency.

There are 27 lessons in the full program, though students typically only study the specific lessons identified by the course-specific decoding assessment.

Most of the lessons vary between one to two-and-one-half hours to complete, depending upon the age of the student and his or her current decoding skills and reading ability.

“Students are miraculously transformed from initially being hesitant, intimidated, and mostly embarrassed to students that are amazingly confident
and successful readers.” – AF, Educator and Tutor

Maximizing Technology to Teach Reading Skills

The highly-successful Smart Way Reading™ methodology and The Sounds of English™ CD and flash card program are offered online as direct derivative works.

English Alphabet & Sounds instruction™ (EASi™), the derivative of The Sounds of English, introduces the 46 phonemes (speech sounds) in isolation and in text and teaches anyone the unique sounds that the letters and letter combinations of the English language can make.  It is designed for beginning readers, remedial education, English Learners and English as a Foreign Language students.

Phonics interactive Education (PiE™), Smart Way Reading's online version, is a highly-effective learning system for beginning, remedial and intervention reading and spelling programs.  It is a systematic and explicit phonics program - based on Orton-Gillingham principles - and is modeled after the National Reading Panel report on how best to effectively teach reading skills to people of any age.

The "computer" actually guides and directs the student through each of the 27 lessons.  A tutor, or mentor, is always nearby as the student is directed to complete various activities with the tutor, such as explaining what a word or sentence means.  Additionally, the tutor is present when the student takes the Skills Review at the end of each lesson.  A benefit of the online version is that one tutor can comfortably guide and direct, at the same time, one to five students, each of whom are moving at their own pace, and studying their own lesson.

”I’ve noticed the students are engaged…they seem motivated and enthusiastic about learning to read and write.” - MY, Teacher and Tutor
