The English Club introduces each letter: how it sounds, how it looks, how to write it and how to combine it with other letters to form words. The most common letters and combinations are learned first (the widely accepted “satpin” order). The multi-sensory approach uses all senses – touch, sight, hearing and speaking- to reinforce learning through all possible channels to the brain.
A story for each level contains only words the reader can read, using the tools that have been taught so far. The stories are built around the most common English words that use the new letter and rules, plus all that have been taught to this point. Built-in review and practice helps to move the learned material from short term to long term memory, encouraging reading fluency and freeing the learner to focus on meaning.
The English Club™ draws on established phonics-based methods (such as Hickey and Orton-Gillingham) while focusing on the most frequently-used English words. Important sight words (such as "said" – which is not spelled the way it sounds) and meaning are also included. This systematic approach builds confidence for all emergent readers, both native English speakers and learners of English as a foreign or second language (EFL and ESL).
The excitement and triumph that a new reader feels, being able to read a whole English story, is the payoff that motivates learners to forge ahead to learn more and more new letters, words, and rules, until eventually, they are equipped to read texts that contain all the English letters and combinations.
This method has been proven successful – even for learners with special needs (dyslexia, weak memory, and other language-learning challenges).
Give the gift of English literacy to English speakers as well English language learners. The English Club™ addresses obstacles often encountered by learners and provides a method that guarantees success.
The English Club™ draws on principles of well-known phonics-based methods, such as Hickey and Orton-Gillingham, while focusing on the 500 most common English words. This systematic and confidence-building approach is good for all emerging readers, including learners of English as a foreign or second language (EFL and ESL) who are not native English speakers.
The English Club™ app transforms ‘unable’ into ‘able’ via the following features:
The stories contain only words the reader is equipped to understand, using the tools that have been taught so far and are familiar. The English Club™ empowers readers to read a whole story, by themselves, with an engaging plot – already from the first lesson.
A learner is freed to understand the story thanks to the app's built-in practice routine which helps move the learned material from short term to long term memory.This insures that learners gradually automate their sounding out of the written word. As the learners' reading fluency increases, their attention is freed to focus on meaning.
The excitement and triumph that a new reader feels, being able to read a whole English story, is the payoff that motivates learners to forge ahead to learn more and more new letters, words, and rules, until eventually, they are equipped to read texts that contain all the English letters and combinations.
The app builds learner confidence and success through self-checking and self-correction, rewards and positive feedback motivate practice and recall - focus on success.
The English Club™ gradually builds your knowledge, guiding you from one level to another until you have completed all 50. Once you complete the app, you have gone from zero to being able to read and understand difficult stories.
A multi-sensory experience, employing all language-related senses - touch, sight, hearing and speaking- to reinforce learning through all possible channels to the brain.
The English Club™ family and friends, with interactive and graphically rich content captivate the learner. You will delight in the comics-like illustrations that illuminate the text with humor and clarity.
This phonics-based method explicitly teaches each letter, its name, and the sounds that it makes, along with basic rules of spelling and "decoding" (sounding out the written symbols). The English Club™ introduces each letter from every angle: how it sounds, how it looks, how to write it and how to combine it with other letters to form common words.
The English Club™ introduces the letters in a defined order, with the most commonly used single consonants and vowels first (the widely accepted "satpin" order), plus the most common combinations. Built-in review and practice helps to move the learned material from short term to long term memory.
