“The repetition is good…I can even see kids that don’t struggle liking this and using it every day.”
It’s a big step going from reading individual words to reading whole sentences. When they’re starting, the sentences can sound stilted and robotic, and it’s easy for them to lose track of the sentence’s meaning. They’re focusing 100% on the words themselves! Reading by phrases unlocks fluency and increases comprehension. Repetitive reading of larger and larger chunks of sentences trains developing readers to process groups of words rather than individual ones.
Chunky Sentences guides children by splitting sentences into chunks. They read each chunk on its own and absorb its meaning before moving on.
Eventually, these chunks are combined into bigger pieces until they’re confidently reading the whole sentence. This trains them to look at a sentence as a series of phrases instead of a series of words–a powerful change in thinking. This research-backed approach builds confidence as well as success in reading and comprehension.
Chunky Sentences uses a proprietary dynamic difficulty system. This means we quickly match your child’s ability.
No endless string of boring, unchallenging sentences.
No discouraging, insurmountable roadblocks.
Always at the edge of your child’s ability–where learning happens.
