Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children

Audiblox is an excellent program for preventing reading difficulties in young children. Children exposed to Audiblox during preschool become top achievers in reading and math, says Mrs Rita Crossman of Sharonlea Child Care:

“We've been using Audiblox since 1999 and the difference it makes even to the below average learner is amazing.

“We use Audiblox for the 2-3 year-old class, starting by teaching them colors and counting, up to the Grade 0 class. Soon the children know left, right, in front, behind and on top very well as this is covered in Spatial Orientation. At a glance they can tell the place value of each block and the color of the block in eighth, or sixth, or tenth position, et cetera.

“Listening skills are developed as this is practiced almost every day. Above all I found the learners are able to memorize poems and songs at an amazing rate as Audiblox stimulates the memory.

“Before entering primary school our Grade 0 class can easily count to one hundred and back in even and uneven numbers, and read 80 words. Sharonlea Child Care is a feeder school for Sharonlea Primary School. This school saw a difference too. In fact, the principal of Sharonlea Primary phoned to personally congratulate us since all the top achievers at Sharonlea Primary in mathematics and in reading are children who attended Sharonlea Child Care”.
