Learning to read has never been so easy!


​Hi there, my name is Letitia Lipp and I am the creator of the 'Signs and Sounds Phonics' resources. I have been a Learning Assistance Teacher for over 20 years. Over this time, I have developed a multi-sensory system that really helps kids learn their letters and sounds. Here it is …

Visuals

The visuals are drawn in a way that illustrates the letter shape while also connecting to the story and action.

​Not only are students learning to read, they are also learning sign language! What a great way to foster inclusivity!

Actions

The actions use American Sign Language with an added gesture that connect to each letters' pictures and stories.

You are BRILLIANT!!! Your program is absolutely awesome!!! The children absolutely love it, just as much as the adults do. The sign language, visuals, and matching it up with story and sounds – it is such a well-rounded and fun program!

It's fantastic!  I love the story and all the little details will definitely get the kids interested in learning about the rules.
