Multisensory Educational Software: Earobics

Earobics is a multisensory computer reading program that focuses on strengthening students' reading skills such as blending sounds, recognizing phonemes and rhyming. What is unique about this program is that it is entirely based upon the learners ability and level. As the learner shows mastery of certain skills, the program builds upon those skills for more challenging content. This program is typically used for progress monitoring/RTII for reading goals. Teachers are able to access the students data that is automatically collected as the student uses the program. This program is also available for English Language Learners, and is available in 10 different languages.

One of my current students uses this program as part of his progress monitoring data for his reading goals. There are atleast 6 different "activities" for this student to play. One focuses on short and long vowel sounds, another includes identifying pictures with a orally spoken word. This particular student has trouble with identifying phonemes, more specifically onsets, rhymes, vowels and consonant digraphs. Earobics allows him to focus on these areas of need.
