With our multisensory program, the “Sawaru Glyph,” you’ll use our haptic reading materials and apps to complete step-by-step learning modules. You’ll start with letters, then progress to spellings and words, which will help build a letter recognition network in the brain and reduce the burden of recognizing letters. This approach will lead to improved reading fluency and writing skills.
Basic Spelling and Phonics Edition
This is the foundational material used at the beginning of the Sawaru Glyph program. It incorporates haptic reading practice using video and audio resources aligned with phonics and syllables. Starting with single letters of the alphabet, progressing to simple sound spellings, and then to more complex sound spellings, this approach builds memory for letter forms and spellings step by step. The process not only strengthens letter form memory but also facilitates the formation of word-form memory from spellings, promoting fluent reading. Additionally, it supports the formation of associative memory between spellings and sounds.
Highly Imaginable Words and Short Sentences Edition
The Sawaru Glyph (Highly Imaginable Words and Short Sentences Edition) is a next-step learning material following the Phonics Edition. This material enhances the spelling and word shape memory learned in the Phonics Edition by engaging in haptic reading of sentences composed of highly imaginable words. Additionally, our clinical research suggests that seeing, touching, and reading aloud highly imaginable words and sentences may improve RAN (Rapid Automatized Naming), which is crucial for reading functions.
Number Concepts and Basic Math Materials
Dyslexia and dyscalculia are known to have a high rate of comorbidity. By using haptic reading methods to learn the shapes of numbers, the quantities associated with them, and the objects they represent, you can also grasp the changes in quantities that occur with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This touch-based approach helps develop foundational mathematical skills.
