THIS IS HOW LIPILEAP BUILDS READING

One small set. Three powerful steps.

Children meet a sound, use it to make words, then meet those same words again inside a story.

STEP 1 · LEARN

Meet six useful sounds.

Practice voice
s as in sun

A long, gentle snake sound. Keep the air moving.

a as in ant

Open your mouth for the short a in ant.

t as in tap

A quick tap of the tongue. Keep it short.

i as in ink

A quick, relaxed short i sound.

p as in pan

Close your lips, then release a tiny puff.

n as in nap

Let your voice hum gently through your nose.

Choose a voice, then tap a sound card.

STEP 2 · BLEND

Slide the sounds into a word.

Point from left to right. Say each sound without adding “uh”, then move through them again a little faster until the word appears.

  1. 1

    Say it Tap each tile and say its sound.

  2. 2

    Slide it Join the sounds without a gap.

  3. 3

    Read it Say the whole word and use it.

BLEND LABthree sounds
Say the sounds, then bring them together.
STEP 3 · READ

The words are ready for a story.

The next page uses only these six taught sounds in its story text. Children can look at the picture, listen to the narration, then point and read each short line.
