Online Phonics Instruction

We All Can Read is an Orton-Gillingham-based online reading intervention program for at-risk middle and high school students and adults. Our online program automates the learning process and eliminates much of the time-intensive, direct instruction traditionally required by the teacher to teach phonics skills to older students. Our online program also makes it possible for older students and adults to work independently through the entire program.

You may access the first 28 lessons at no cost or obligation. No user name, password, or registration of any kind is required. Click here to view the instructional elements contained in a typical online lesson. We provide these first 28 lessons so that an individual may see how the program is presented online prior to enrolling in the program. All 644 lessons in the online program are taken from our core book We All Can Read: Third Grade through Adult Book (5th Edition).

                                                                                             Online Program Overview
Every word from 644 lessons in our core book and all of the instructions necessary to learn or to present the 644 lessons are contained in this online program where we combine video, audio, and text in our lessons.
Individuals who require extra remediation can work independently in the online program. Students, particularly older students and adults who are far behind in reading, often require a lot of drill to master the subskills involved in reading skills acquisition. Teachers or tutors seldom have the time to spend one-on-one with these students. But with our online program a student can work at a computer and spend as much time as is necessary on any lesson in the online program. Adults can work in the privacy and comfort of their own homes, and parents can use this program to teach their children. At the end of almost every other lesson a student must pass a mastery quiz before he is permitted to proceed to the next lesson.

A teacher without any previous training can turn the speaker's volume up on the computer in a classroom, and the teacher and students alike can go through each lesson. The online program will not only teach students, but will also train teachers simultaneously. Teacher training is a critical issue. Many teachers, parents, and tutors working with students in late elementary, middle school, high school, or adults have little or no background in presenting the subject of phonics. This problem is compounded by the fact that a large number of these instructors did not learn phonics when they were in their early grades, nor do most upper-grade-level teachers receive training in teaching phonics in their professional teaching certification classes in college. Budgetary restraints and staff turnover also often combine to make training problematic. Our online program successfully resolves this issue.

Lessons consist of video, audio, and text combined and about one-third of the online lessons end with a spelling quiz where students must score 80% or higher to proceed to the next lesson. The 28 lessons at the top of this page from the Third Grade through Adult Program demonstrate how a typical instructional cycle is implemented in the online program. These lessons are designed so that a student can work independently and proceed through the entire program. Within these 28 lessons are presented the sounds the consonant letters represent and the short sounds for a and e. The entire online program consists of a total of 644 lessons that systematically introduce every major phonetic element in the English language. The expected outcome for any student from the third grade level through adult who proceeds systematically through all 644 exercises is to be able to read and spell words at an independent level.

Subscribers to the online program are also able to print-out over 400 consumable work sheets that students use as they proceed through the program. Try it for yourself at no cost or obligation. We have provided an ample number of exercises for you to determine whether or not this program is right for you. Proceed through the 28 exercises listed at the top of this page. See if you do not experience improvement. If so, then register to be able to continue in the over 600 remaining lessons.

                            The Supplemental Fluency Reader Is Also Incorporated Into Our Online Program
In addition to the 644 online lessons from the core book, we also integrate all 141 exercises from the Supplemental Fluency Reader into our online program. Each page from the Supplemental Fluency Reader combines audio and text and is integrated at the appropriate point into the online program. These exercises from the Supplemental Fluency Reader are designed to provide additional oral reading practice for students as they proceed through the online program.

                                             A note about nonsense words used in this program
Nonsense words (words which have no meaning) are used extensively in the first third of our program. Examples are Print Lesson 20 / Print Lesson 21 / Print Lesson 24 / Print Lesson 25 / and Print Lesson 28. Older students may know thousands of words by sight. Often the only way to insist that these students rely upon their knowledge of phonics to sound out words is to present them with words they have never seen before. The same principle is equally true for spelling dictation. Some students have memorized the spelling of hundreds or even thousands of words regardless of whether or not they understand the relationship of letters within a word and the sounds those letters represent. When students are asked to read or spell a nonsense word, they must rely exclusively upon their knowledge of phonics; there is no other way to be able to read or spell a nonsense word.

                                   And please note the following passage from the Teacher's Guide:
Most pages of Sections One and Two are divided into two parts: real words and nonsense words. Nonsense words are essential to use in teaching phonics to older students and adults. Many students have memorized hundreds or even thousands of words and yet have little or no knowledge of phonics. No purpose is served by having them call out or spell words they have long ago memorized; in fact, older students who are asked to read and spell one-syllable words they already know will often prematurely conclude that this phonics program is too easy for them. For this reason it is strongly recommended that teachers use only the nonsense words from each lesson in Sections One and Two of the book to teach students in sixth grade through high school and also for adults no longer in school. The two exceptions to this recommendation for students in sixth grade and beyond would be in the instance where students in these grades read and spell less than eighty percent of the real words from any given lesson correctly or in the instance where students are learning English as a second language. Students in third grade through fifth grade should proceed through all of the lessons listed below in exact numerical order. Students in sixth grade and above should work in the following lessons only and in this exact order: Print Lessons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 24, 25, and 28.
