CAPIT Reading helps more students reach reading proficiency before they finish 2nd grade.We built the first—and only—program that teaches students to read by "Playing with Sounds," and not through "verbal instructions." With CAPIT Reading students "Play with Sounds" and intuitively create Letters, blend Words, and assemble Sentences. This could not have been imagined before technology. When students learn to read by "Playing with Sounds," they do not need a "guide" of any kind, whether a mouse or any other cartoon character. We achieved an alternative way of delivering the instruction. Because CAPIT Reading teaches without verbal instructions, it is "language agnostic" and naturally accommodates students of all backgrounds without any modifications or special accommodations. Other programs require ELL students to don their headphones and learn in a foreign language. CAPIT Reading is used by ELL students and English speaking students in the same way and in the same manner, giving all students a shared learning experience. When students learn to read by "Playing with Sounds," they are constantly engaged and entertained by the curriculum. As soon as students enter CAPIT Reading they know what the "game plan" is: Learning to Read. CAPIT Reading has no external rewards, so students are entirely self-motivated. Each interface was carefully built to test students just enough to make an exercise seem challenging, yet easy enough to make it seem solvable—so students stay engaged from lesson to lesson.
