✅ Gives context and meaning to tricky high-frequency words
Each card embeds visual-contextual images, catchy auditory phrases, and fun kinesthetic actions — transforming hard-to-grasp words into something meaningful and memorable. This multisensory input lays the groundwork for automatic word recognition by making words easier to understand and recall.
✅ Helps kids truly understand words while preparing for more phonics
Eyewords™ starts by giving context and meaning to these words through multisensory connections. This approach carefully chunks and paces learning, making it perfect for young children who haven’t fully developed letter-sound relationships yet, as well as for those who benefit from a slower, more supported path — like in reading intervention or English language learning. It builds a strong foundation so phonics and spelling instruction can be even more effective.
✅ Reinforces recognition with plain text
The back of each card features the plain text word, so learners can practice recognizing it without visual supports — helping transition from multisensory cues to fluent reading.
✅ Boosts attention, motivation, and memory
Includes play-based games and activities that keep kids moving, engaged, and excited to learn — enhancing memory, focus, and enjoyment.
✅ Rooted in the Science of Reading
Trusted by educators and parents worldwide and validated by a Stanford-led study published in Learning and Instruction, Eyewords™ combines research-based best practices with playful instruction.
