Overview - TOUCHPHONICS ONE-ON-ONE KIT (1 STUDENT)
A Multisensory Approach to Phonics & Word Study
Provide English language learners with an alternative approach to phonics,
word structure, and spelling with this unique multisensory program. Students
utilize tactile, kinesthetic, visual, and auditory modalities to enhance memory
and learning and to understand the structure of words without drill.
Touchphonics is research-based and was developed by Dr. Robin Steed.
It has been tested and proven to be effective in reading laboratories at Brigham
Young University, where it dramatically increased the reading skills of students
previously weak in phonics.
