The findings from reading research consistently emphasize that letter-sound knowledge is fundamental to effective reading and spelling skills. Nonetheless, establishing the associations between letter patterns and speech sounds presents a notable challenge for learners of all ages. LetterSounds™ 2 Pro offers an innovative, engaging approach designed to facilitate the acquisition of these critical relationships in a manner that is both enjoyable and motivating for students.

This application employs a patent-pending, multisensory teaching methodology that has been recognized by educators as a significant advancement in literacy instruction. This approach simplifies the process of teaching students to recognize common letter-sound patterns in English quickly, automatically, and accurately.

Developed by Dr. Bartek Rajkowski, PhD, a renowned speech-language pathologist with expertise in reading development, LetterSounds™ 2 Pro is grounded in empirical research related to the cognitive mechanisms underlying reading acquisition and enriched by extensive clinical experience.

Please note: - Compatibility requires an iPad 2 or newer - Currently tailored for Australian English; US and UK accent options will be introduced in upcoming updates - While students enjoy using this tool, it should be underscored that LetterSounds™ 2 Pro is more than an educational game—it serves as a sophisticated and customizable instructional resource. Educators are encouraged to familiarize themselves with its features prior to implementation in classroom settings.

Understanding the link between speech sounds and letter patterns is critical because it underpins decoding skills important for reading proficiency. Decoding relies on phonemic awareness—the ability to recognize that words are composed of individual sounds—and understanding how these sounds are represented orthographically. Research suggests that explicit instruction in letter-sound relationships via synthetic phonics methods consistently outperforms alternative approaches across diverse learner populations, including those with reading difficulties.

The challenge lies in the fact that there is no inherent or intuitive correspondence between the visual appearance of letter patterns and the sounds they represent—for example, the “igh” in “night” doesn’t visually resemble its associated sound. To address this obstacle, LetterSounds™ 2 Pro leverages its unique game-based approach to make learning these abstract relationships more accessible and effective.

Whether used by educators, parents, or specialists, LetterSounds™ 2 Pro has the potential to become an integral part of literacy instruction.
