FUNetix gives a name and a symbol to each of the 44 sounds in the English language. Even though, in theory, the letters in the alphabet should match up to a sound in the English language, that's often not the case.  Many letters can represent more than one sound and many sounds in English don't have their own dedicated letter.  This creates a gap between the 44 identified sounds of English and the 26 letters of the alphabet. FUNetix solves this problem by filling in the gap for kids and showing them ALL of the hidden sounds in words, taking the guesswork out and making it logical and easy. Teaching the 44 sounds of English (when listed out this is called the Phonibet (an alphabet of sounds)) is the crucial step for the "reading brain" that ONLY FUNetix delivers.  That's why it's so easy and works so fast.

Here's what a simple story looks like in Module 12 of the app.  Three learning support tools are included here: An audio button so children can hear the story read to them, a simplified, child-friendly phonetic English code called Kindercode™ or 21E®, that kids learn how to read in less than 4 hours, and our patented diacritic pronunciation guide shown as the Phonibet symbols placed above the English words.
