Simon S.I.O. is a software program that delivers individualized phonics instruction and corrective feedback to your beginning readers. It was developed by Dr. Ted Hasselbring of Vanderbilt University who is known for his work with Read 180. In Simon, students move systematically and at their own pace as they learn letter sounds and word families. In addition, students practice spelling words, discriminating between like words and reading newly learned words within controlled texts. Utilizing Simon’s Progress Reports, teachers can quickly check students’ progress on screen or print the reports out to include in student portfolios.

WordMaker uses a variety of activities to build targeted phonics skills. WordMaker is Systematic Sequential Phonics Instruction, which is, according to the National Reading Panel, the most effective approach for teaching Phonics. Students build on the words they know how to read and spell to create new words that are longer and more difficult. The 140 progressive lessons focus students on specific letter combinations, thus teaching the early reader to look for patterns and apply what they know about them when encountering known and unknown words. Wordmaker was developed in collaboration with Dr. Patricia Cunningham, creator of the Four-blocks Literacy Model.

Teaching students with multiple disabilities to read can be a challenge.  But, with the right materials and teaching practices, you can break through the low expectations trap and teach your students to read. Giving the opportunity to read appropriately leveled materials is an essential part of early reading success. But until recently, the available literature options available for the older, beginning reader were very limited, and were rarely curriculum-tied. Start-to-Finish Literacy Starters changed this. The engaging switch-accessible computer books were written specifically for adolescent students reading at beginning levels.

Each Start-to-Finish Literacy Starters set includes three different books linked to an age-appropriate topic. Using standards and research outlined by Don Johnston’s Beginning Literacy Framework, each book is written and edited to meet these guidelines:

assessment and progress monitoring tools, age-appropriate and engaging content geared toward adolescents, fully switch accessible, literature that fits into the curriculum at an appropriate readability level, materials and adaptation ideas to support AAC users, always activities to support reading comprehension, readers profile chart, vocabulary card with information on how to use them.

How can Start-to-Finish Library help my struggling readers? The Start-to-Finish Library offers struggling readers a wide-selection of age-appropriate narrative chapter books written at two readability levels and delivered in three media formats. Students accomplish several goals with this unique series: they practice reading fluently and with comprehension using multiple text and electronic supports, while accessing the curriculum’s required topics, genres and literature.

How can Core Content help my students with their grade-level textbook content?

Start-to-Finish Core Content offers engaging, standards-based informational texts written at two levels and delivered in three media formats. Captivating expository texts prompt students to question, make meaning and summarize as they read to learn in content-area classes and intervention programs. Students hear the language of informational text read by narrators, then practice reading with auditory and visual support.
