Literacy Speaks!® is a systematic program that utilizes evidence-based techniques. The program is effective for preschool through early elementary school children, children with special needs, English language learners, economically disadvantaged students and children with communication disorders.

Our techniques have been successfully implemented by speech-language pathologists, educators, literacy specialists and parents.

Literacy Speaks! is a program designed to teach children letter-to-sound correlations and to introduce children to essential sight words with a sound targeted approach. The natural progression of the technique leads to literacy skills and improved speech intelligibility.

An outline of the progressive learning steps follows:
1. Recognition of alphabetic letter
2. Correlation of alphabetic letter to target sound
3. Incorporation of target sound into word(s)
4. Exposure to sight words (a, the, I, see, have)
5. Combination of target words and sight words to create
phrases and sentences
6. Incorporation of sight and target words into books
7. Carry-over of sound and literacy skills into natural environments
