How PASP Helps with Reading and Spelling:
The Phonological Analysis with Synthetic Phonics (PASP) Program uses a multi-sensory approach to teach students how to hear, feel, and name sounds in words. Through structured phonics lessons, designed to develop phonological processing, students learn to connect sounds with letters. They also use blocks encoding exercises to break words into parts and help them understand how sounds and symbols work together.
This structured phonics process builds strong reading and spelling skills. Students focus on:
- Understanding how sounds create words
- Using phonics to decode (sound out) words
- Reading texts that match their skill level
What is Phonological Processing?
Phonological processing is how we understand, remember, and use the sounds in language. It helps us read and spell by connecting sounds to letters. If someone has weak phonological skills, they may struggle with sounding out words, spelling, or pronouncing them correctly.
Dyslexia and Reading Challenges
Dyslexia is a difficulty with reading where individuals struggle to segment words into sounds and to compare those sounds to the letters in the written form of the word. It is not a hearing problem or due to ‘mixing up letters.’ About one in four people need help building this skill. Our multi-sensory structured phonics program (PASP) is based on the science of reading, which has been shown to directly remediate these reading challenges
A Proven Multi-Sensory Program for Better Reading
The PASP program has been backed by over 30 years of research and is designed to improve key areas of reading. It uses multi-sensory methods like oral motor reinforcement and visual aids to engage different parts of the brain.
This structured phonics program typically lasts 60-100 hours with a recommended 3 sessions per week. Our proven, multi-sensory approach builds reading skills that last.
