Simple Instructions:
1) Make sure that your speakers are on.
 

2) There are many sentences below. They are “randomly designed” sentences about “daily-living” topics (in the home, at school, etc.). They include many words that the beginning reader would never be expected to READ yet, but that should be commonly known in their SPOKEN conversation; therefore, you will see in a moment that the sentences are READ TO the student. We have carefully targeted certain red words in the sentences, that will be used to expose the student to the process by which they will learn to decode (successfully sound-out words for word RECOGNITION), and thus eventually turn a new unrecognized word into an instantly recognized “sight” (“reflex”) word. For each sentence below, have the student click on the green speaker button at the BEGINNING of the sentence (NOT the speaker button at the END of the sentence).   
 

3) The sentence will be read out-loud to the student. When the voice reaches the red-colored word, it will stop reading the sentence. (It is possible that the very first word might be a red word, so clicking through that word will be required before any read-out-loud occurs.)  
 

4) At this point, the student must click on the red word. The word will pop-up in a box. The student mouse-clicks (or touches, if using a touchscreen) the word until s/he reaches the point where each letter’s sound has been spoken, and then the complete word has been spoken. At this point, the voice will continue reading the rest of the sentence. (In some cases, there may be more than one red word in a sentence. At each red word, the voice will stop reading out loud.) Always encourage the student to, OUT LOUD, replicate the red word’s individual letter sound-outs, themselves. This is crucial for them to practice as much as possible.  
 

5) NOW that the sentence has been completed, the student may click on the green speaker button at the END of the sentence, if s/he wants to do so (optional). The sentence will now be read out-loud withOUT stopping on the red words. Further, as each word is read, it will pop up in a box in its fully-PQd state, to further encourage the brain to become comfortable with this VISUAL element of the sound-out process. (You’ll note that with the beginning speaker button, as each word was read to you, a green highlight was in place, not a fully-PQd word in a pop-up box.) The reason the button at the end of the word is included in the sentences is more with the ESL student in mind (to double-check that they read the entire sentence correctly, in this new language to them), but it can be valuable for anyone, as long as it is utilized ONLY after READING through the passage first, and clicking through all of the red words to develop the decoding skills that are so critical for building reading-excellence.  
 

6) Move on to the next sentence.
