Intuitive Phonics:

uses letter-sound patterns, not typical rules.
(without any graphics or color clutter)


uses practice like athletes to train the brain.

 Athletes repeat the basics.
  Athletes practice, practice and practice more.
   Athletes train their brain to act intuitively.


can help almost anyone above grade 1
develop intuitive brain skills for reading.


strengthens the foundation for
elementary school
middle school
high school
also
adults.


begins with little words to develop letter-sound patterns.
  Practice, with little words and simple letter-sound patterns
  helps the patterns become wired into the brain - to be intuitive.

Many reading programs leave the weak student
“on the bench” feeling lost, lonely and left out and thinking,
   ("I hate reading")

• We want the slower learner to practice the basics.

• We want them to begin to see the letter-sound patterns.

• We want them to say words with confidence.

• We want them to enjoy little steps of success.

• We want them to become ready to read.

Intuitive Phonics is like the coach that begins with the simple basic running, bouncing, passing, shooting.

It is practice, practice, practice until each letter-sound pattern becomes a part of the brain's structure.

We want the skill to become intuitive.

We want letter-sound pattern skills to become success.

Practice becomes success by continued practice.
