and Receive All the Help You Need to Make Sure that Your Child Succeeds?
Did you notice the way the specialist and the kids were interacting? If not, watch the video again. This is important, and conducive to an enjoyable learning experience. And all of us learn better and more quickly when we're enjoying the experience, so please keep this in mind!
A KidsVoyager Online membership includes (in addition to Phonic Engine Reading Method Software and a day-by-day, step-by-step parent/teacher guide) access to a team of experts, who will work with you, as much as is necessary, to make sure your child gets the help he or she needs. A basic membership includes one full hour of phone or video consultation (as well as unlimited email), plus you can obtain more. We strongly suggest that if your child is way behind, that you speak with us weekly, at least at the beginning. Although this is not included in a basic membership, we believe it is money well spent for your son or daughter and, in addition, could potentially represent an extremely large savings when compared to a private tutor or learning center.
The startling success of the Phonic Engine Method has even surprised us. KidsVoyager Online, which incorporates the Method, may be used by children on their own, or in a more structured environment, such as with a parent, sibling, tutor, or teacher. When children use KidsVoyager Online on their own, they are compelled, through its Web Browser component and the power of the Internet, into using multisensory Phonic Engine components to browse and search. Everything on the screen talks when you move the mouse. Everything. And when you click the components (multisensory talking alphabet buttons, multisensory talking phonics tiles, multisensory talking words, etc.) to search and browse, you are constantly being reminded, over and over and over again, by words, pictures, and voice, as well as repeated mouse movements and click patterns, of the connections between letters, the sounds they make, and how they combine to make words. You are constantly being shown new words. You and hear them, see their spellings, and can easily learn about them if you choose.
You are able, even at 4 or 5, to search (i.e. 4/5 year olds can produce correctly spelled words using the Phonic Engine Method), browse, and then "read" the results by ear (almost as easily as a grown-up) by simply using the mouse the way a grown-up uses his or her eyes: pointing at what you want to hear; and pointing away when you want to stop. And clicking a word to hear it. And double clicking it to look it up in a dictionary or search engine. And using KidsVoyager Animated StoryWriter to create animated stories (the KidsVoyager Online cartoon-like narrator may be animated with numerous character animations) and other compositions with correctly spelled words. Kids love this.
Basically, learning to read while reading to learn!
When used in a structured environment, which is how it should be used in most circumstances if your child needs to catch up, the parent or teacher should use the parent/teacher guide, which gives day-by-day, step-by-step lessons; the same types of lessons we use at our language and literacy center.
And, you're not on your own. We will work with you, to whatever degree you wish, to help ensure that your child succeeds. There's one full hour of phone consultation (may be broken up any way you wish) included in your basic membership/tuition, plus unlimited email; and that can go a long way.
You may use the Method either with limited assistance from us, or you may wish more of a relationship, where we are in frequent contact, for you to ask questions, discuss you child, and receive ongoing help from the same specialists who have helped our clients to achieve their wonderful results.
