Play ’n Talk is a comprehensive, multisensory reading, spelling, and typing program designed to take children from learning their very first letters and sounds all the way to advanced, college-level reading and 11th–12th grade spelling. It is the only reading and spelling program you will ever need.
With just two simple 10-minute lessons per day, Play ’n Talk delivers powerful results—whether used as a two-year core curriculum or a 6–12 month remedial solution for older students. The program includes over 212 audio-guided lessons, allowing students to follow along in their student books while learning through hearing, seeing, speaking, playing games, and movement.
Unlike many modern programs that blend phonics with sight words and whole-language strategies, Play ’n Talk is rooted in a proven method developed in the 1940s, based on how reading and spelling have been taught successfully for over 100 years. Phonics and spelling are taught together, as they should be—never separated—so students truly understand language instead of memorizing it.
The lessons are play- and game-based, fully scripted, open-and-go, and require no prep time. The curriculum is non-consumable, making it ideal for families with multiple children at different levels using the same program.
Play ’n Talk serves students ages 2–18, helping them:
· Increase reading speed and comprehension
· Develop a genuine love for reading
· Learn proper typing skills
· Spell advanced words with confidence
· Decode and understand college-level text
Older children and teens can repair spelling gaps, improve comprehension, and finish the program in as little as 6–12 months.
Play ’n Talk is especially effective for students with learning challenges such as dyslexia, ADHD, auditory processing issues, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, speech delays, and more. By gently engaging multiple senses at once, the program reaches all learners—neurotypical and neurodivergent alike.
After more than 60 years with no reported reading or spelling failures, Play ’n Talk continues to prove one simple truth: when you teach the brain the way it was designed to learn, literacy just works.
