Child learning the letter sound and letter shape
Three-year-old sounding out phonetic words.

Souns is a simple, carefully crafted, phonics based, early literacy program for infants and toddlers. Souns demonstrates the potential of young children when given the real tools of language - letter sounds. The results are dramatic and measurable in building young readers and writers. When we put letters in association with their most common letter sounds into the hands of the very young child to explore and manipulate, we create readers and writers, naturally. Each letter has Braille, is delightful to touch, and is perfectly sized for young hands. Click on images to review materials
