Science of Reading Strategies to Cut Steps and Boost Foundational Reading Skills
Watch now and walk away with moves you can use tomorrow.
Speech-to-Print (linguistic) phonics challenges the way we’ve been teaching foundational reading—and offers a faster, clearer path to build skills for every learner, especially your strugglers.
New to speech-to-print? Start with the Switch It phonemic manipulation routine to make sounds-to-letters click.
In this powerful presentation and panel discussion, Shifting Paradigms: Effective and Efficient Foundational Reading Instruction for All Learners, literacy leaders from Evidence-Based Literacy Intervention (EBLI), Reading Simplified, Credentials Unlimited and What I Should Have Learned in College Facebook Group, plus SLPs and Reading Specialists, show how a linguistic phonics (speech-to-print) approach streamlines instruction and accelerates results.

FAQ
What is Speech-to-Print (linguistic) phonics?
It’s an approach that starts with the sounds of speech and maps them to print—helping students connect phonemes to graphemes quickly and clearly.
How is this different from traditional phonics?
Instead of teaching print first and hoping students infer the sounds, speech-to-print organizes instruction around speech sounds first, then links them to letters—cutting steps and confusion.
Who is this best for?
K–3 core instruction and intervention for older strugglers. It’s especially helpful for students who need clearer sound–symbol mapping and more efficient practice.
What can I try tomorrow?
Start with the Switch It phonemic manipulation routine, then layer Blend As You Read during decoding.
Do I need decodable texts or a new program?
These routines effortlessly align with any curriculum you’re using and work with the decodable texts you already have. In the Reading Simplified Academy, we provide all the necessary resources to support you. The key lies in structuring lessons around speech and delivering focused, daily practice using the routines mentioned above.
Will I see results quickly?
Teachers frequently observe that students can start decoding effectively in just 12 weeks when following these routines.
