Why Discover Intensive Phonics? Discover Intensive Phonics is the perfect reading supplement for grades K–2. It also produces dramatic results for students in grades K–6 who exhibit below average reading skills, effectively closing the gap for struggling readers. The program is effective for ESOL students also, teaching them the structure of the English language and dramatically improving their pronunciation, reading, and spelling skills.
Research-based and proven for over 30 years, Discover Intensive Phonics makes reading automatic, fluent, meaningful, and, best of all, enjoyable. Students’ self-confidence grows along with their skills and knowledge. Our multi-sensory approach means every student’s unique learning style is addressed.
Based on Orton-Gillingham principles of instruction, Discover Intensive Phonics deals exclusively with basic reading and word attack skills. Students participate in a daily mix of multi-sensory direct instruction and independent computer work.

“Once we started this program…within just a couple of years, there was almost a 180 degree turnaround as we went from children being non-readers or poor readers to being excellent readers. I’ve had children leave me reading at a sixth grade level.”
