For Educators

Rev & Read is built on the Science of Reading. Here's how to use it effectively in your classroom or tutoring practice.

Our Methodology

Grounded in decades of reading research and aligned with structured literacy principles.

Connected Phonation

Children blend sounds smoothly without stopping between letters. Research shows this continuous blending leads to faster word recognition than segmented sounding-out.

Multisensory Learning

Combining visual (seeing letters), auditory (hearing sounds), and kinesthetic (dragging to blend) modalities reinforces phonemic awareness through multiple pathways.

Systematic Progression

Words are carefully sequenced from simple CVC words (cat, dog) to complex blends and digraphs, following Orton-Gillingham principles of structured literacy.

Immediate Feedback

On-device speech recognition provides instant pronunciation feedback, allowing children to self-correct without waiting for teacher intervention.

Classroom Integration

Flexible ways to incorporate Rev & Read into your teaching.

Literacy Centers

10-15 min rotations

Set up Rev & Read as a rotation station. Children can work independently while you focus on guided reading groups.

Intervention Support

Daily 5-10 min sessions

Use for struggling readers who need extra blending practice. The kinesthetic approach helps children who struggle with traditional phonics instruction.

Whole Class Warm-Up

5 min morning routine

Project the app on a smartboard for whole-class blending practice. Have children blend along with their fingers in the air.

Take-Home Practice

10 min homework

Recommend to parents for consistent home practice. The app works offline, so families don't need internet access.

Curriculum Alignment

How Rev & Read maps to established reading frameworks.

Science of Reading

Aligned with Scarborough's Reading Rope, focusing on phonological awareness and word recognition skills.

Orton-Gillingham

Follows systematic, sequential, multisensory principles. Explicit instruction in sound-symbol relationships.

Structured Literacy

Incorporates all six syllable types, progressing from closed syllables to more complex patterns.

Common Core (RF.K-1)

Supports Reading Foundational Skills standards for phonological awareness and phonics in Kindergarten and Grade 1.

100 Carefully Selected Words

Our curriculum progresses from simple CVC words to complex blends and digraphs across 10 levels.

Level 1-2
cat, dog, sun
bed, pig, cup
Level 3-4
stop, clap
frog, swim
Level 5-6
ship, chat
thin, when
Level 7-8
flame, stone
slide, brave
Level 9-10
shrimp, throne
splash, strong
