Sylladot was developed to work for all students. Our multisensory approach helps children with learning disabilities such as autism, dyslexia, and attention-deficit disorder.
It takes about 100 days to complete each level. You can easily finish 2 or 3 levels in a given year. Acceleration should be used to catch up rather than to get ahead.
Your child's progress can be accelerated even faster by using one of the options below:
7+ Years Old: Students can use an accelerated schedule to complete our Level K workbook in half the time!
10+ Years Old: Students can progress through our entire Reading Program (Levels K-5) in a single year. For the best results, we suggest the following timeline:
- Complete Level K using the accelerated schedule.
- Complete Levels 1-5 by teaching 2 lessons per day; the first after breakfast and the other following lunch.
Sylladot began as a Reading Program. It uses a patented system of hyphens and dots to simplify multisyllabic words. In fact, our name was chosen because of how effective this teaching method is.
We will use the word "education" to illustrate how Sylladot works below.
Hyphens
Our hyphens simplify multisyllabic words by breaking them into syllables. Students can focus on just a few letters at a time, instead of the whole word. These words no longer look scary. With practice, students will learn how to chunk words into syllables by recognizing basic patterns. This same concept can be seen with phone numbers:
(123) 456-7890
Dots
We add dots above the sounded vowels of multisyllabic words. Vowels can be tricky for students. Some vowels are long, while others are short; some are even silent. Sometimes multiple vowels make one sound. Our dots help by pointing out the vowel sounds that you hear. Students no longer need to guess.
Other Materials
Our hyphens and dots are tools used to simplify the reading process; they are not a crutch. After completing one of our Reading Program workbooks, your child should be able to read any other material of the same grade level with ease.
