This is the full version of the Ultimate Phonics Reading App. It gives you complete access to all 12 levels and 262 lessons and does not require any in-app purchases.
This version is available for purchase through the Apple Volume Purchase Program for Education and Apple School Manager.
This app is a must-have for teachers, reading specialists, and resource teachers who teach reading to students of any age. It is a complete, explicit, systematic phonics program suitable for kindergarten through adult, including middle school, high school, and community college.
Ultimate Phonics is useful in any situation where reading is taught:
* Beginning Readers
Reading is the most important skill for education and success. If you have young children first learning to read, just an hour or two per week using Ultimate Phonics can make a huge improvement in their reading ability.
* Struggling Readers
Do you have students who guess and skip when they read? Did you know that word guessing causes poor reading comprehension and terrible spelling? Relying on word guessing prevents students from becoming good readers and blocks them from a good education.
A good reader reads by rapidly and accurately sounding out new words. This is exactly what Ultimate Phonics teaches. It develops your students into more accurate, fluent readers with good reading comprehension.
* Dyslexia, Orton-Gillingham, and Structured Literacy
Ultimate Phonics is very effective for teaching dyslexics to read. The app can be used either by itself or as a supplement for Orton-Gillingham or other Structured Literacy programs designed to overcome reading difficulties.
If you are an Orton-Gillingham teacher, you will love this app. It has excellent word lists and decodable sentences, all broken down and sounded out. The app also has a Find feature that lets you look up lessons matching any phonogram in a matter of seconds. This app is a great addition to any Orton-Gillingham or Structured Literacy program and is guaranteed to become a useful tool in your teaching toolkit.
* Adult Literacy
Adult learners love the design of the program because it teaches them to read clearly and directly, without insulting them. And tutors love Ultimate Phonics because it's easy to use and produces great results. Try it for yourself and see why Ultimate Phonics is an essential teaching tool for any adult literacy situation.
* ESL Students
ESL (English as a Second Language) students need to learn to read English at the same time they are learning to speak it. Ultimate Phonics effectively improves reading, spelling, and pronunciation for ESL students of all ages.
