"There are a number of theories about 'sight' reading. 'Automatic' reading will come, he won't be sounding out his 'A' level exam questions We know that it is impossible to learn the 'look' of every single word so the second theory seems to better explain the fact that skilled readers can instantly discriminate between very similar looking words (trail, trail, dairy, diary) and also rapidly spot incorrect spellings. The one I favour says that the word is 'internally' decoded and blended but the process is so lightning fast and automatic the reader is not conscious of it. One theory posits that when reading a familiar word the process goes straight from seeing to making meaning. It has been pointed out that no-one can possibly know how a word is processed by a skilled reader as the interval between seeing and recognition is a matter of milliseconds and brain research isn't advanced enough to throw any light on the process. There are a number of theories about 'sight' reading. This is vital for accurate word recognition. Insistence on reading on sight could be damaging if he thinks that's what you want he may start guessing at words in order to please you with his 'sight' reading, rather than paying close attention to the letters, and their sequence, in the word. So long as you make it clear to him that there is no need to sound out a word if he 'knows' it just let him go on sounding out for as long as he needs to. So the Sounding Out Machine allows children to submit a word in many forms, such as ‘reply,’ ‘replies,’ ‘replied’ or ‘replying.’ This allows them to quickly continue with their reading work instead of getting stuck.Some children are able to take a word into 'sight' memory after very few repetitions of sounding out and blending, some take hundreds and most, I think, fall in between. “Figuring out the root of a word in order to use a dictionary can bog down many young readers.App emails teachers/parents a report of students’ challenging words.Library mode: load in page images from the photo library.Camera mode: take a picture of the book page.
Students who “report their book page looks like a ‘sea of words’–the Word Window helps them focus in on challenging words”.Those who prefer reading text on a screen.Students who have difficulty coordinating an index card on a book page.Individuals who need modeling in chunking words and using phonics strategies to sound them out.Who might benefit from using The Sounding Out Machine? Children can use their own digital word card to practice and become independent.”

Then, the app “models how to chunk the word into syllables and use phonics skills to blend the phonemes together and sound out the word. In other words, “The Sounding Out Machine does for students what a teacher would do if she were sitting next to them!”Ĭhildren are able to isolate and enlarge a challenging word with the Word Window. The Sounding Out Machine app helps children focus on difficult words when reading, and then models/teaches them how to sound out those challenging words. Looking for an affordable solution to help your child with reading? The Sounding Out Machine is an app that transforms the iPad into an assistive reading device! The app was developed by FizzBrain, “a mom-and-pop studio committed to bringing the latest and very best of educational practices into the world of apps.” Written by Laura Medcalf on March 22nd, 2016.
