FONEMZ: Speak & Read - Empowering Communication Through Fun Learning
FONEMZ seamlessly fits into individual sessions, small group teachings, or expansive group settings. The FONEMZ program, and the concepts and tenets incorporated in the program, have been substantially researched for over twenty years. Twenty years of practice-based evidence with multiple ages and disabilities have supported it. Five years of data collection preceded the scientific research that has demonstrated the efficacy of this program. (Pieretti, 2015)
An evidence-based, multimodal program designed to enhance speech, phonemic awareness, and literacy skills across all age groups.
Everyone learns easily and retains skills longer when they can see, hear, touch, and participate in the process. Our speech and language experts have reimagined these concepts in an engaging way to teach learners how to speak, spell, and read.
The FONEMZ: Speak & Read program is a revolutionary approach to language and literacy that progresses from sound awareness and production to developing reading skills by utilizing the best practices of teaching and building on success. Students quickly build skills using this multisensory approach by using visual, tactile, proprioceptive, and kinesthetic association in highly interactive fun activities.
The FONEMZ app makes speech and literacy development accessible anytime, anywhere.
Presentations & Workshops are developed by Sandy D. Kaul, MA, CCC-SLP, who has over 40 years’ experience in teaching special needs populations. As a certified California Continuing Professional Development Provider, she delivers presentations & workshops with personalized training and targeted strategies on numerous educational topics including the FONEMZ: Speak and Read program.
