LEARN TO READ, IMPROVE GRADES
The LPI approach to learning can help students of all ages learn
to read, improve grades, and build self-esteem. We can also help
teachers and tutors teach courses more effectively in their own
classrooms, resource room, school library, and through student
homework. The LPI approach is easy to use and affordable.
The LPI educational approach is called Multipath Learning. It is
based on the simple fact that many people who have had trouble
learning to read and study can do much better if information is
presented simultaneously through multiple pathways (audio,
visual, kinesthetic and interactive) in a format designed for
independent learning. With LPI, Human Voice Accompanies Visual
Text. Each letter, word, phrase or sentence is accompanied by
high fidelity sound. We do this with a computer and tape
recorder hooked together in a special way. We do not synthesize
or digitize sound. As a result we can have excellent sound and
extensive programming. LPI provides an integrated 4 part
program:
1) Reading Aloud - Human voice accompanies visual text sentence
by sentence. This is a multisensory and interactive approach.
Students see a sentence come on the screen. Then they have as
long as they want to read the sentence out loud. When ready,
they press a button and hear the sentence read aloud. If what
they hear disagrees with what they said (or didn't say), they
read the sentence out loud again, echoing what they heard. In
this way students self-correct their own reading as they go
along. They also develop proper pronunciation and phraseology.
Basal readers, picture books, non-picture books and any course
book or language can now be studied in voice and text by students
independently.
2) Structured Phonetic Course - We provide a professional,
structured phonetic course for reading based on the principles of
the Orton-Gillingham method. We deliver this approach in a new
way. Our approach is interactive, voice and text, engaging,
exciting, empowering and extremely effective. This program has
been very helpful for Dyslexic and Learning Disabled students as
well as ESL (English as a Second Language), Bilingual, and Adult
Beginner students.
3) Recording Your Own Voice and Text Programs:
a) Teachers and students can record weekly spelling,
vocabulary and math drills right in the classroom at the
beginning of the week and then practice these drills at school or
at home for "Friday's" test.
b) Students can record their own voices and experiences for
interactive, multisensory playback. Here at last is a way for
parents, teachers, tutors and students to make their own whole
language and language experience material.
c) Teachers can record all their classroom teaching in
interactive voice and text for independent learning, practice,
review and repetition now or later.
d) Parents at home can create math, science, social study
and English review material, in interactive voice & text, for
students pausing after each thought.
