Earobics Step 1
LR11141
Based on 20 years of literacy research, Earobics is the leading solution for providing explicit, comprehensive early literacy skill training for the prevention and remediation of reading and other language-based disabilities as well as those who are learning English as a second language. It systematically teaches the critical phonological awareness, listening and introductory phonics skills required for learning to read and spell, with entertaining characters and encouraging feedback that kids love! It also helps to develop general cognitive skills that support learning, such as attention and memory.
Features:
- Builds phonological awareness and auditory processing skills
- Automatically adjusts to the appropriate skill level of the user
- Uses adaptive training and acoustically modified speech
- Recommended for ages 4 to 7
- Features six interactive games with over 300 levels of play
- Designed to provide individualized, explicit instruction that meets the needs of a varied caseload
- Convenient to install and use, with automatic goal writing in IEP format and performance charting
- Uses sophisticated computer training techniques, including adaptive training, acoustic enhancement of the speech signal and systematic control of key learning variables
- Controls visual cueing and auditory feedback, the rate at which sounds are presented, the length of sound units and the amount of background noise competing for the student's attention
It teaches your child how to:
- Focus on spoken sounds over extended periods of time and with background noise
- Determine whether two or more sounds are the same or different
- Remember sounds and words in sequential order
- Detect the silent intervals between sounds

- Print progress reports by date or range of dates
- Use the password option for confidentiality and reliability of data records, while allowing students to work with minimal supervision
- Remove and add names to player list, allowing you to extend use of the software's 'seats' over time
