"Earobics"[R] is interactive software that provides students in pre-K through third grade with individual, systematic instruction in early literacy skills as students interact with animated characters. "Earobics[R] Foundations" is a version for pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and first graders. "Earobics[R] Connections" is for second and third graders and older struggling readers. The program builds skills in phonemic awareness, auditory processing, and phonics, as well as the cognitive and language skills required for comprehension. Each level of instruction addresses recognizing and blending sounds, rhyming, and discriminating phonemes within words, adjusting to individual student ability level. The software is supported by music, audiocassettes, and videotapes and includes picture/word cards, letter-sound decks, big books, little books, and leveled readers for reading independently or in groups. What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviewed 18 studies on "Earobics"[R]. One study met WWC evidence standards, and one met evidence standards with reservations; the others did not meet WWC evidence screens. Based on the two studies, WWC found positive effects on alphabetics and no discernible effects on fluency. The evidence presented in this report may change as new research emerges.
