In many instances, the teacher is assigned a particular curriculum to be used for language arts/English instruction. The material often creates major difficulties for the struggling learner. The Sounds Of Words intervention will provide access to the curriculum for that learner. Any word which the student needs to know in order to comprehend and use the material can be decoded by the student, using the explicit teaching, concrete, multi-sensory, applied phonics, intervention.

The struggling learner is able to access learning activities, vocabulary words and text, spelling words, and writing lessons. Access to the class curriculum provides success in the least restrictive environment, inside and outside the classroom.
