About Sylladot
Sylladot was originally created out of necessity. I sought out the best teaching techniques that would be effective for both my public school classrooms as well for the students that attended my Reading Clinic. With 1-on-1 instruction, my students were able to progress through an entire reading level in only 16 hours!
Once I retired, I wanted to share my teaching methods with the rest of the world. My plan was to write a reading program that could be integrated into public school curriculums. I later discovered the endless red tape and a refusal to meet with me because I was not one of the large companies that they usually work with. You would think that with the plummeting reading scores across our nation, public school systems would want to look at all of the options available to them. It seemed as if curriculum directors did not want to rock the boat. After this realization, I decided to turn my attention towards homeschool families. The goal was to leave the school systems out of the equation and let the parents decide which curriculums would work best for their children.
To complement our Reading Program, I am developing a collection of FREE curriculums that anyone can download and print. Take a look around and see what we have to offer.
Syllables + Dots = Sylladot
Syllables: Our hyphens simplify multisyllabic words by breaking them into syllables. Students can focus on just a few letters at a time, instead of the whole word. These words no longer look scary. With practice, students will learn how to chunk words into syllables by learning and recognizing these patterns. This same concept can be seen with phone numbers.
Dots: We add dots above the sounded vowels of multisyllabic words. Vowels can be tricky for students. Some vowels are long, while others are short. Some are silent. Sometimes multiple vowels only make one sound. Our dots help by pointing out the vowel sounds that you hear. Students no longer need to guess.
Our hyphens and dots are tools used to simply the reading process; they are not a crutch. After completing one of our reading workbooks, your child will be able to read any other material of the same grade level with ease.
Why Choose Sylladot?
Free Resources
With the exception of our reading program, all of our curriculums are completely free to download and print.
Scripted Instructions
Every lesson is completely scripted. If you can read, you can teach Sylladot.
Short Lessons
Each lesson takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.
Open & Go Format
Everything you and your student need can be found in a single workbook. NO prep work required.
Multisensory Approach
We simultaneously use auditory, kinesthetic, and visual learning techniques throughout every lesson. This combination promotes long term learning and recall.
Effective Techniques
All of my years of teaching experience has taught me which techniques work and which don't. Only the teaching methods that I have found to be most effective are used in my curriculums.
Works For Everyone
Sylladot was developed to work for all students. Our multisensory approach helps children with learning disabilities such as autism, dyslexia, and attention-deficit disorder.
Accelerate Progress
It takes about 100 days to complete each level. You can easily finish 2 or 3 levels in a given year. Acceleration should be used to catch up rather than to get ahead.
Future of Sylladot
We have big plans of creating a long list of FREE curriculums for anyone to download and print. Our Reading Program will be the only curriculum that we will ever charge for.
