Foniks - Learn to Read and Spell with Instant Sound [Posted on 2003-02-20]
"Foniks" is a learn-to-read course where you can just mouse over letters and words to hear them spoken - a big step forward in the teaching of reading. The effect is empowering and motivating, especially for early learners. Watching three-year-olds bring text to life by making it speak at their command is kind of eerie.

After using Foniks, it seems needlessly hard to go back to a silent, paper book, where little can be learnt without the presence of a human teacher or a tape. Foniks also has a well-organised syllabus covering all the usual phonics sounds plus many more sounds from phonics' parent, phonetics. Make no mistake, this course will take you all the way from total illiterate to sentence-length reader.

It's my guess that learners will love the simplicity, transparency and immediacy of this very effective learning tool for aspiring readers of all ages and nationalities. I just hope it doesn't put too many teachers out of work.
