Methodologies for improving a student's phonemic awareness, decoding,
spelling, oral and written comprehension are described herein. The method
is embodied in a suite of twelve exercises operable on a computing
device. The exercises are geared towards training of 1st and 2nd grade
students but are not limited to that. The methods present an entertaining
screen environment, with target stimulus, and foil or distracter stimulus
presented visually, textually, and aurally. The student is required to
identify the target stimulus from the distracter stimulus within the
context of each exercise. Progress from easier trials to more difficult
trials is made as the student successfully completes particular
difficulty levels.
