About this app
Dunking Dyslexia is a cutting-edge Android app designed to assist individuals with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, and speech challenges. It supports reading, writing, spelling, pronunciation, and speech for students in special education, those on the autism spectrum, and those in ELD or speech classes. Using a multi-sensory approach, the app combines music therapy with spelling exercises to create an engaging educational experience based on the neuroscience of learning.
The app is divided into three subgroups and corresponds to Dr. Marianne Cintron’s Step By Step Reading Program. It is ideal for families and homeschooling, with parents encouraged to download the app for children aged 7 and older. An internet connection is required for optimal use.
Key Features:
Personalized Learning: Designed for special education, speech classes, ELD classes, and homeschooling, Dunking Dyslexia is ideal for students with learning challenges, including those on the autism spectrum.
Musical Learning Method: An innovative technique where music is played in the left ear while spelling is taught in the right ear. This enhances auditory processing and memory retention, helping students with phonics, reading, and writing.
Step-by-Step Progression: Spelling words progress in difficulty, starting with simple 3-letter words and advancing to 4-letter words, 2-syllable words, and paired words. Students then move on to sentence building with increasing complexity, reinforcing grammar rules and improving writing skills.
Multi-Sensory Approach: Music is used to stimulate brain functions related to learning and reading. This approach has been proven effective for dyslexic students and those with auditory processing issues. The app also ties into the Step By Step Reading Program created by Dr. Marianne Cintron.
Subgrouped Exercises: The app is divided into three main subgroups:
Subgroup 1a offers two basic exercises: one with music-only for reading focus, and another for letter names and sounds.
Subgroup 2 features 28 spelling exercises that correspond to the Step By Step Reading Program, allowing students to listen to music in their left ear while spelling is taught in their right ear.
Subgroup 3 offers 8 sentence-building exercises that continue the multi-sensory learning experience.
Free Spelling Help: The app provides free access to spelling resources via the CDSM app to help address the growing reading crisis and promote overall dyslexia wellbeing. Parents, teachers, and educators can download the app to support their children or students with learning differences.
Grammar & Phonics Reinforcement: With a focus on progressive learning, the app covers everything from phonics to sentence formation, helping students understand grammar rules through structured exercises.
Why Dunking Dyslexia is Unique:
Dr. Cintron’s program integrates music to enhance learning and memory. Music has long been used to support students on the autism spectrum and has shown benefits for the elderly with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Dunking Dyslexia leverages these principles to support reading, writing, and spelling.
