Structured. Multisensory. Explicit.
Foundation In Sounds
Foundation in Sounds is a pre-reading program that strengthens foundational auditory skills before formal reading or spelling begins. It is multisensory-based and specifically addresses concerns with auditory discrimination (hearing sounds), auditory memory (retaining sounds), auditory sequencing (recalling sounds in the correct order) and phonemic awareness (hearing, identifying and manipulating sounds).
