The Sebezaphone increases reading pleasure and achievement because it
Enables learners to hear themselves read- Amplifies the speaking voice so that phonemes are more audible and distinct
- Establishes the essential link between sound and print by focusing the reader on the “sound” of the letter patterns. This
- Strengthens neural pathways that establish the print-sound relationship
- Provides immediate auditory bio-feedback
- Promotes self-monitoring and self-correction
- Removes background noises for better concentration
- Increases active engagement to think and interact with author’s words
- Builds confidence and reduces fear of making errors when reading aloud
- Makes reading more interactive and fun
- Strengths the ability to process and develop language competences
- Increases desire to read for its own sake
- Develops metacognitive awareness – learners speak their thoughts out loud while they read and interact with the author’s words
