Robinson Reading System

®

In Loving Memory

Dr. Martha Robinson, PhD (1958-2024) was a renowned educator and psychologist who recognized the need for a more accessible method of teaching reading. She believed that by developing a universally applicable system, more children could benefit from effective reading instruction. Leveraging her expertise in literacy instruction, extensive research in cognitive science, and various theories and approaches to reading, she invented the Robinson Reading System. This innovative system adopts a linguistic approach to literacy instruction, offering a new way to enhance reading skills of children and adults.

A Linguistic Approach

"Sounds First"

Reading = Decoding + Language Comprehension

 

Decoding text is not a natural process for the human mind; it must be taught directly and systematically.

 

Language acquisition, on the other hand, is a natural process for the human mind and can be achieved through exposure.

​​

The Robinson Reading System leverages this dynamic with a linguistic approach to reading. It directly and systematically teaches the 41 sounds of the English language (language) with their most common spellings (decoding) to support the learning of English words through exposure. This code is called the Robinson Code, a.k.a. Sounds First code. It was patented by Dr. Robinson and must be used with permission from Robinson Reading System. This Early Childood Education edition is based on decades of research and application.
