"For my English language learners, if they couldn’t make the sound the first time, the repetitions that SoundTown provides helps them eventually make the sounds." - Ms. Masters, CA TK Teacher

“SoundTown is really an easy program to use. A teacher can walk into the lesson and not really prep ahead of time. It has a nice predictable rhythm.” - Ms. Kust, WI 4K Teacher

“My students love seeing what the new character will be and looking for the previous characters on the map. It makes for great daily review.” - Ms. Knutson, MN Pre-K Teacher

What are integrated mnemonics?

An integrated mnemonic alphabet boosts children's letter learning speed.

By embedding pictures within letters, children recall sounds twice faster than with plain letters.

Success with Diverse Students

On-level readers

On-level readers can learn to read more efficiently when they are trained in phonemic awareness. This allows students to build quicker sight vocabularies. Also, it is difficult to determine which young children will have phoneme awareness problems. By training all children, potential reading difficulties can be reduced.

Multilingual learners

SoundTown is designed to support children with minimal vocabulary by:
- Using simple, minimal vocabulary
- Supporting vocabulary with visuals
- Using universal concepts

Intervention

For PreK-1st grade children needing more support in their literacy learning is it essential to shore up the foundational skills of phonemic awareness, articulation instruction, and letter sounds.

Special education

SoundTown provides short, engaging instruction with flexible pacing and repetition for neurodivergent children.
