The Acellus Development Team of the International Academy of Science is embarking on an exciting approach to teaching with its Acellus Reading Program –- teaching with animated characters.

The Academy has created engaging new cartoon characters for this course:

Acellus Reading is based on a program that begins by stimulating phonemic awareness in an effective way.  The phonemes (consonants, then vowels) are introduced in clever ways that suggest figuring things out, rather than memorizing, making the environment almost stress-free and leading to the ultimate goal: independent reading. 

Once the letters and sounds are established, the students are taught how to break apart words into phonemes, resulting in students being able to read and spell the majority of English words. The students also learn "Sight Words", words they need to memorize to be able to read confidently (primarily words that are not phonetically correct, (i.e., Dolch's or Fry's lists).

For Acellus Reading, the Academy has been developing an all-new Reading Console to display the videos and problems.  Tobler answers questions and offers help when the students get stuck.   The new keypad contains the needed phoneme and mouth picture symbols.

With the powerful Acellus delivery system, Acellus Reading can keep track of the words students need to work on as well as the ones they have mastered. This provides each student with the extra attention required precisely where it is needed.
