LEARN TO READ, IMPROVE GRADES The LPI approach to learning can help students of all ages learn to read, improve grades, and build self-esteem. We can also help teachers and tutors teach courses more effectively in their own classrooms, resource room, school library, and through student homework. The LPI approach is easy to use and affordable. The LPI educational approach is called Multipath Learning. It is based on the simple fact that many people who have had trouble learning to read and study can do much better if information is presented simultaneously through multiple pathways (audio, visual, kinesthetic and interactive) in a format designed for independent learning. With LPI, Human Voice Accompanies Visual Text. Each letter, word, phrase or sentence is accompanied by high fidelity sound. We do this with a computer and tape recorder hooked together in a special way. We do not synthesize or digitize sound. As a result we can have excellent sound and extensive programming. LPI provides an integrated 4 part program: 1) Reading Aloud - Human voice accompanies visual text sentence by sentence. This is a multisensory and interactive approach. Students see a sentence come on the screen. Then they have as long as they want to read the sentence out loud. When ready, they press a button and hear the sentence read aloud. If what they hear disagrees with what they said (or didn't say), they read the sentence out loud again, echoing what they heard. In this way students self-correct their own reading as they go along. They also develop proper pronunciation and phraseology. Basal readers, picture books, non-picture books and any course book or language can now be studied in voice and text by students independently. 2) Structured Phonetic Course - We provide a professional, structured phonetic course for reading based on the principles of the Orton-Gillingham method. We deliver this approach in a new way. Our approach is interactive, voice and text, engaging, exciting, empowering and extremely effective. This program has been very helpful for Dyslexic and Learning Disabled students as well as ESL (English as a Second Language), Bilingual, and Adult Beginner students. 3) Recording Your Own Voice and Text Programs: a) Teachers and students can record weekly spelling, vocabulary and math drills right in the classroom at the beginning of the week and then practice these drills at school or at home for "Friday's" test. b) Students can record their own voices and experiences for interactive, multisensory playback. Here at last is a way for parents, teachers, tutors and students to make their own whole language and language experience material. c) Teachers can record all their classroom teaching in interactive voice and text for independent learning, practice, review and repetition now or later. d) Parents at home can create math, science, social study and English review material, in interactive voice & text, for students pausing after each thought.
