Helping students nationally with decoding and spelling skills.
Systematic Phonics … the Science of Reading
Richards Learning Systems® teaches English language concepts that include:
- Forty-four sounds
- Five patterns of vowels and consonants
- Seven syllable rules
Students start with little words and then move to bigger words by breaking them into smaller pieces. The exercises and reading activities control the words used so students apply their newly learned concepts to words “fitting the rules”. These exercises develop both reading and spelling skills simultaneously.
Once students have learned all Richards Learning Systems concepts, they practice their newly learned skills by applying them to words like “archaeologist” and “psychology”. Throughout the process, students learn:
- Problem solving
- Build vocabulary
- Improve decoding and spelling
- Reading comprehension
- Fluency
