Web based
SynPhony uses standard web technology that runs in any modern browser. On any computer operating system. Off a web server or off your hard drive.
Easy to use
It's a web page. You already know how to use one. Plus, it's got built-in help. Match reading material dynamically to the reading ability or disability of any student.
Build a Scope and Sequence
Easily construct or modify a Scope and Sequence. SynPhony ensures that each lesson's words and sentences are decodable based on letters that progress cumulatively. When you are done, copy and paste into a spreadsheet.
Dynamic and flexible word lists
Create word lists that contain only the letters you select. Control for syllable length; sort by length, randomly, frequency of occurrence or alphabetically. Cover all the spelling patterns systematically and explicitly.
Create literacy activities
Easily create an unlimited number of word search puzzles, cross word puzzles, and many more activities that use the letters or vocabulary from each lesson.
Check stories
Compose your own sentences or story and check to see if they are suitable for each lesson. Words with letters you haven't taught are indicated with colors. Get vital statistics on any text to compare relative difficulty with other texts.
Build capacity
Empower native speakers to develop educational resources for their own communities. (See video below.)
Unicode
SynPhony can handle any script your browser handles. That means dozens of writing systems used by thousands of languages, spoken by billions of people. Alphabets, abjads, abugidas, or syllabaries; from left to right or right to left, we've got you covered.
