See Phonic Faces at http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=phonic+faces The most flexible Speech, Language, and Literacy materials speech-language pathologists, special educators, early childhood teachers, or English/Language Arts teachers can have in their repertoire. This program really helps at-risk children and is great in the regular classroom. PHONIC FACES is a unique alphabet that enables children to SEE sounds! The letters in the mouth look like the lips or tongue making the sound, a form of cued speech. Phonic Faces make learning articulation, letter-sound correspondence, sounding out and spelling words, and learning phonic principles easier than any other program. This see-and-say alphabet is perfect for young children pre-K through 2nd grade learning reading or spelling principles. It also works great for older children with dyslexia or for those who have not mastered phonics because it teaches sounds visually. A controlled research study showed children using Phonic Faces showed significantly greater improvement in articulation and 10 measures of phonemic awareness and print knowledge than a control group using an alternative treatment. Another study showed significant improvements for middle-school low readers. Phonic Faces is the only program that shows children the letter-sound relationship by drawing letters within mouths to depict the lip, tongue, nasal, teeth, and voicing features used to produce each sound. Children imitate the faces, and they discover reading even if they have not yet learned the alphabet or letter sounds. Because it is based on seeing the sounds of English, each of the 44 speech sounds has its own face, including long and short vowels and consonant and vowel digraphs. Also great for articulation therapy, including apraxia! Learn more about Phonic Faces books, and other materials that teach by showing. Help children learn their way!

Phonic RulesBecause Phonic Faces have different faces for long vowels, short vowels, vowel dipthongs, consonants, and consonant digraphs, it is easy to show how phonics rules work. Do you see 2 "baby vowels" (short vowels) together in a word? Bring in the grown-up (long vowel) to take care of both of them. Is "Mr. E" at the end of a word complaining about the noisy baby in his word? Silence him by trading the baby for the adult long vowel sound. Phonic Faces SHOW children how the vowel and consonant rules work using easy to remember explanations that make sense to children.
