The Learning to Read Program Makes Learning Fun!

Engage Your Child With Structural Graphics... Pop-Ups! 

*Art and Structural Graphics by Heather Cramer

 

 

Every two page spread consists of a 3-dimensional (pop-up) illustration that clearly portrays the definition of the word to be learned and the given sentence that uses the word and describes the action of its use in the picture.

 

The stumble word is displayed in large raised letters with a textured, black velvet surface. The depth and texture of these letters stimulate learning through touch.

Identify With The Child Character

"The child character" has been created for your student to identify with as he journeys through the whimsical word adventures found on these colorful pages... and learns in the 3 dimensional format that has been proven to work most effectively for the dyslexic reader. Each page, each word, and each image brings new comprehension as well as the joy of learning with these fun-filled pop-ups!

 

Why is it Such an Effective Tool?

• The Learning to Read Program is easy and fun to use
• It can become a learning game played at home
• It builds competent and confident readers while it expands their learning dimensions
  
  

Interact Using the Sound Panel for Audio Learning

A sound panel is incorporated in every book with a sound button for each stumble word that is included in that volume. The voice that comes from the audio button stimulates further learning through the sense of hearing.

 

When a button is pushed, your student hears the stumble word, the definition of the word, how it is spelled, and how it is pronounced.

 

Discover the Effectiveness of MELT™ Teaching Techniques

Each page of the books of  The Learning to Read Program contains a series of simple, consistent teaching steps that your student will work through to gain character command of that particular stumble word.

 

Through the presentation of several ways of learning what the word looks like, what the word sounds like, and what the word means, the student becomes able to join this information with his visual and tactile experience to bring the stumble word into his full comprehension. He then creates his own sentences to describe that word. His sentences show how he is able to apply and fully absorb what he has learned about the stumble word.

 

The MELT™ techniques are described in detail in 4 papers (previewed in  MELT™ Learning Solution) that clearly lead you through the steps of the protocol and the reasoning behind the protocol for teaching your child to read. 

 

Integration and Posture: prepare the learner for accurate perception and thinking; teach him to stabilize the position of his Mind's Eye.

 

Character Command: the student is now ready to gain character command of the 290 stumble words and written characters. 

 

Tune In and Turn On: exercises make it possible to reduce stress and return to brain integration while working through the confusion and frustration of learning new material.

 

Reading, Rhythm and Punctuation: student learns how to pause and stop with punctuation marks so that he gains understanding and comprehension while reading.
