Master the Code is a revolutionary "Sound to Code" reading and spelling program modeled after the process by which spoken language is first learned.  The program teaches reading and spelling concurrently through techniques that train students to accurately recognize letters and letter combinations, and the corresponding sounds of speech.  MTC works in conjunction with PACE to enhance attention, memory, auditory analysis, processing speed, sound blending and segmenting, visualization, and working memory.

Key Benefits

  • One-on-one training allows for immediate correction of errors and encouragement of correct responses.
  • Strengthens key cognitive skills, which helps not only reading and spelling ability, but other learning as well.
  • Specific and sequential training starts with the basics and moves through simple to complex, most probable to least probable, and additional complexities like how the same letter can make different sounds.

Did You Know?

Reading is more than "i before e except after c!"  Consider the following:

I Before E Except After... What?
MTC training results in reading at a subconscious level.  There is no need to memorize rules that can later be forgotten.
The Multi-Sensory Connection
Auditory processing skills are the most crucial skills for effective reading.  MTC begins strengthening these skills from the first lesson.
Proven Results
Students have seen improvement in reading skill by up to four years or more in less than five months of training.
