WISE OWL Polysyllables is an innovative tool for increasing the reading levels of young children. The program is appropriate for any student from first grade and up who has successfully completed a basic phonics program teaching the 44 English speech sounds and the major spelling patterns that represent those sounds in written English. The program focuses on developing the students ability to decode and understand multisyllabic words. It has also proven effective with older students who need help in improving their reading skills.
