Welcome to the project!

Reading Fundamentally is a way to learn new words by connecting two sounds into one, then adding the next sound, never holding more than two pieces at a time.

A red bubble saying Oh plus a yellow bubble saying Bee make an orange bubble saying Obi. Oh + Bee Obi

How it works

    Say the first two letter sounds in the word.

  2. Obi

    2. Connect them

    Connect the sounds into one sound, and hold on to this new sound.

  3. KenoBee

    Then add the next

    Say the new sound and the next letter sound, then connect again until the word is complete.

Over the past few years, I've been working with a man with developmental disabilities who has shown lasting progress from a methodology discovered in the early days of working with him.

This has been an incredible journey, and I'm glad that you're here to share it. The case study is just the beginning. I plan to take this work and expand upon it in the coming months and years.

If you know someone with developmental disabilities who meets the same criteria as the man discussed in the case study here, feel free to contact me so that I can confirm these findings with other people.
