Why it Works
Addressing Multiple Targets
The Lively Lettersâ„¢ program addresses multiple targets, simultaneously training students in the critical skills of:
• phonemic awareness
• phonics
• speech production
Oral Kinesthetics and Mnemonics
The oral kinesthetic (mouth cues) feature of the Lively Lettersâ„¢ Program helps set it apart from other multi-sensory programs, as students are taught what to do with their mouths in order to produce the sounds. This is done in a fun and engaging way as students are introduced to meaningful letter characters that are strategically embedded right into the letters.
​
Errorless Responding
Lively Lettersâ„¢ uses proven strategies for errorless responding to prevent sequencing errors and impulsive guessing for those with rapid naming problems.
​
Benefits You Can See
Quickly and dramatically closing Achievement Gaps Lively Lettersâ„¢ students gain years in reading levels skills in just weeks. Students trained with the Lively Lettersâ„¢ program typically show improvements of 1.5 to 3 grade levels in the areas of phonemic awareness, phonetic decoding, and oral reading in as little as 6-8 weeks, with even higher gains seen in older students.

The keys to closing achievement gaps
Quickly training letter sound associations
Improving speech production skills for articulating the sounds
Building high-level phonemic awareness skills of sound blending, segmenting and manipulation
Training skills of phonetic reading and spelling of single words (one-syllable through multisyllable)
