What is the Phono-Graphix® Method?

It is simply the most well respected reading method around and we have

trained over 5000 students to read easier at The Thinking Center since 1998.

Phono-Graphix® is a reading method researched and developed by Read America, Inc. It is based upon extensive clinical experience with children and rigorous research in the fields of reading,cognitive psychology, learning theory, child development, motivation theory, and linguistics. Sally Rownd, Olivia Haynes, Valerie Butler and Amy F. Weinberger are all certified reading specialists at The Thinking Center.

Phono-Graphix® has been shown to be 98% effective in helping all readers regardless of learning disabilities, to bring their word identification and word attack test scores up to grade level after an average of 12 hours of one-on-one training.

The English written language is a phonetic code, meaning that each sound in a word is represented by a symbol or sound picture.

Most sounds have more than one way in which they can be represented. The sound 's', for instance, can be represented in these ways: sat, city, voice, house

Segmenting is the ability to separate the sounds in spoken words.

Blending is the ability to blend sounds into words.

Phoneme Manipulation is the ability to pull sounds in and out of words. We need this skill because a sound picture can represent more than one sound.

Phono-Graphix® addresses the true phonetic nature of the English language.

There is overlap in the code.

There is variation in the code.

Children/teens learn best as active participants in discovery.
