\n
\nmusic teacher who has passed special training in the Sounds2ReadTM<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0Method and its teaching strategies.
\n\u2022 The book<\/strong> – a weekly practice with "House of Sounds\u201d TM an especially designed\/formatted booklet that
\naccompanies the child throughout the program. With this booklet the child reads and writes musical notes,
\nplays tunes\/songs, and glues prizes which she\/he has won in accordance with her\/his level of progress.
\nThe child relates to the booklet as a tool from which she\/he derives great pleasure.
\n\u2022 The musical<\/strong> instrument – through playing the instrument (xylophone and electronic organ), the child
\nbrings into practice her\/his ability to read notes, which she\/he acquired during the Sounds2ReadTM<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0program.
\nThe Child expresses her\/himself and instantly enjoys the outcome of her\/his learning and progress.
\nPlaying the instrument is a creative way of learning that builds the child's self-confidence and self-esteem,
\nboth of which are highly important for inducing the child's motivation for learning and for reading.
\n\u2022 The Computer<\/strong> Game – "House of Sounds2ReadTM<\/sup>(developed by Amihud Carmon, 2005), the computer game the children play individually (i.e., every child on a separate computer), utilizes the computer's multimedia features for the purpose of combining learning with enjoyment. Sight, hearing, and touch (playing the instrument) are those senses which, together with the computer's immediate feedback, make a
\nmulti-sensory experience that increases the child's motivation to keep on making an effort and study.
\nWhen the child receives a virtual prize on the computer, she\/he gets a colorful sticker of that prize – which
\nshe\/he then glues in her\/his booklet, and this is repeated until all tasks are finished.
\nThese fundamentals, in addition to the small learning groups, the learning strategies, and the very use of
\nmusic in the\u00a0Sounds2ReadTM<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0method – help the child reach a high readiness level for reading in kindergarten
\nAnd first grade. A child who has attended the T.M.NTM enrichment program will acquire reading in a much
\neasier and friendlier fashion than his\/her peers, and reading difficulties which often arise shall be spared. A
\nbook about this method is now in preparation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nImplementaion Methods:<\/h3>\n
