Teacher assigns story to be read silently. Children use their PRD to read the story. They whisper in to the PRD listening to themselves. The teacher can actually watch the children reading while they concentrate on their voices. This awareness will promote a greater comprehension and expression when they read the story aloud to class.
Teacher selects specific letter or vowel sound to be practiced.
The children hear themselves making the sounds of the letters. This reinforces the association of letters standing for sounds. Children repeat spelling words into their PRD and spell them. This improves concentration and spelling patterns. This auditory repetition will improve basic fact recall.
