Childsplay Learning Design
The learning design is based upon Sight Sound and Motion methodology (SiSoMo) and IMPACT* as its pedagogical framework.. In a similar way to how we all learned to speak, through a direct, explicit, mastery approach and the ability to personalise learning efforts, all children will be inspired to achieve reading fluency at performance levels never before contemplated.
This Digitally Automated Phonetics system, through direct, disciplined, precise teaching, is a model of learning that
- Promotes learning productivity and performance partnerships between home and school
- Inspires learners and boost performance through personalising resources, effort and success
- Benefited by but not critically dependent upon teachers

Global Design: Mass Customisation
Notwithstanding that learning content is best personalised in the classroom, the mass customization of the Reading and Speaking Program can be tailored to meet cultural, technical and localized environment factors that may be prevalent in countries as diverse as India and China.
The Global Phonetics Institute has direct access to education experts who can collaborate, inform and strategise system rollout protocols and expectations globally.
