When English Language Learners are explicitly taught the phonology of the language, they are able to learn English successfully and can improve their pronunciation and vocabulary. Discover Intensive Phonics software contains Alpha-Say, a pronunciation tool that allows ELL students to hear all of the sounds and record themselves practicing each sound to compare their pronunciation with the narrator’s. Vocabulary is built from the beginning of the program by students simultaneously learning a word’s meaning and usage each time a word is introduced. ELL students quickly improve their phonology and reading skills.
