ClickN READ Phonics Overview

How ClickN READ Phonics Works
A significant milestone in independent learning and a breakthrough Beginning Reading Program, ClickN READ Phonics utilizes the most current online technologies to create an effective personalized learning tool for children and a real-time assessment tracking system for teachers and families. For young students, ClickN READ Phonics represents an exciting personal guide into the world of letters, words and sentence structure. For teachers and families, ClickN READ Phonics is a unique and powerful resource that can immediately pinpoint progress - and problems - that will help accelerate reading skills.
ClickN READ Phonics features four primary learning environments. These are: The Letter/Sound Chamber, The Listening Cube, The Reading Room and The Speed Chamber.

For parents and caregivers, ClickN READ Phonics provides the Individual Lesson Report, which allows the students daily progress to be monitored and the Cumulative Report, which monitors progress over time to determine the full scope of the child's success.
