Demystify reading and spelling by zeroing in on the specific skills children need to learn in order to succeed.
Touch & Say Reading & Spelling™ shows you how to build upon a foundation of hearing sounds in words, matching sounds with letters, and then learning the various ways to spell sounds. This simple, multisensory approach makes reading and spelling accessible to children with a wide range of learning styles and ability. It was developed by Jill Hicks, M.Sc., speech-language pathologist, based on her work with both typical students and those with special needs.
The program comes on an interactive computer DVD that includes a 40 page instruction manual, extensive video footage showing the system in use with a student, audio and video clips of each sound and Phoneme Touch & Say™ hand cue, plus an extremely useful set of over ninety Word Lists and Spelling Sheets.

Begin teaching about literacy with preschool-aged children by playing games to help them hear sounds in words, and learn to link sounds with various letters. Continue to develop phonological awareness (hearing and identifying sounds in words), and teach phonics (matching sounds with letters) in kindergarten and grade one. You can use Touch & Say Reading & Spelling™ right through the grade eight level to help children learn the various ways to spell sounds.
Touch & Say Reading & Spelling™ works because it is presented simply yet provides excellent support to help students hear and identify sounds in words and then match those sounds with letters. The Phoneme Touch & Say™ hand cues provide a stable representation of each sound. Even though the spelling for a sound may change, the hand cue for a sound always stays the same. Students learn which spelling to choose through practice with the Touch & Say Reading & Spelling™ Word Lists and Spelling Sheets.
The Touch & Say Reading & Spelling™ Word Lists and Spelling Sheets are valuable teaching tools because they group words by sounds. A photo of the Phoneme Touch & Say hand cue for the sound is shown at the top of each Word List and Spelling Sheet. The various ways to spell the sound are listed at the top of columns on each sheet as shown in the example below.
The Word Lists and Spelling Sheets are grouped into five levels and progress step-by-step from easy words such as "bat, cat, fat hat" to difficult words such as "discussion, permission, compassion, intermission". You can open and print whichever Word Lists and Spelling Sheets you want to use with your student/class. The Phoneme Touch & Say™ hand cues used throughout this program can be taught one at a time as you introduce each Word List and Spelling Sheet. Alternatively, students already familiar with the Phoneme Touch & Say™ hand cues will be able to use their knowledge of the hand cue - sound pairs as they learn which letters to add to the sound - hand cue pairs for spelling.

Help your child or students learn sound-letter matching and beginning decoding and encoding with these attractive letters. Children benefit from being able to feel and manipulate the clear, large-sized letters. This set of magnetic letters is special because it uses the Sassoon font, which research has shown to be the easiest font for children to learn to read. Consonants are red, vowels are blue, and a baseline helps children learn relative letter height (how letters sit in relation to one another). Great for use on a magnetic board, fridge, or any surface.
The 28 letter set includes an extra 'e' and an extra 's' for words like "see" and "kiss". A 56 letter set is also available.
