In all our lessons, students learn to practice what good readers do naturally, which is to pay attention to every word, read with a high rate of accuracy, and use strategies for attacking unfamiliar and multi-syllable words. Our lessons, Launchpad, Countdown, Blast, and HD Word explicitly teach phonemic awareness, phonics concepts, and word attack skills. They also focus on reading accurately, which translates to better comprehension. The lessons are research-based, multisensory, highly effective, and can be taught by a wide range of educators, not just experienced literacy professionals.
