What is Reading Revolution?

     Reading Revolution is a whole body, multiintelligence 
approach to 
reading instruction that integrates sensory motor activity into 
the reading 
process.  The reading lessons are engaging, physically active, 
and fun!  
Games are used to create a fun learning experience and thus a 
stronger 
retention of material.  Beginning in Kindergarten, the children 
are taught 
that vowels are scoops of ice cream and consonants are cookies.  
Therefore, 
words are made up of ice cream sandwiches.  Initially the 26 
letters of the 
alphabet are taught using "sound movements."  Next, the 
two letter "partner" 
sounds are introduced.  Partners are two letters that make one 
sound like 
ch, er, oa, and au.  There are 35 partners to be learned.  
Finally, 
the "teams" are presented.  Team sounds consist of 
three to five letters 
that combine to form one sound such as "cian" as in 
"magician."
     The method does not just focus on decoding, but is a 
balanced reading 
program covering all of the skills necessary for reading mastery 
including 
fluency and comprehension.
