  • Phonemic awareness

  • Reading comprehension

PLATO Focus takes students through an engaging progression from sounds to letters, letters to words, words to phrases, phrases to sentences, and finally, sentences to paragraphs. It can be easily integrated into any early reading program to supplement instruction and improve student performance.
