    Abstract: An integrated method which uses multiple sensory materials with a voice recording and playback system. The system teaches multiple parts of a language by a series program covering each aspect of a language. Aspects covered by the program include sound word teaching, sentence teaching, spelling word teaching, and writing teaching. The system teaches initial letter sounds, vowel sounds, consonant sound, consonant combinations, spelling alternatives, the addition of endings to works, making plural words, and spelling rules. The system progresses into additional sessions by adding additional spelling, increasing the difficulty of the words used, and adding dictation passages to translate words and sentences into thought processes.
