The Dynamic Alphabet (DynA) Phonics Reading Software System

Offered by Primack & Associates, LLC, the Dynamic Alphabet (DynA) Phonics Reading Software System is committed to increasing the reading proficiency of children during those critical years leading up to the completion of the third grade. It is well known among most educators that:

Until the end of the 3rd grade, most children are learning to read
Beginning in the 4th grade the focus shifts as students begin reading to learn
Progressing from grade to grade is increasingly difficult for students who struggle with reading

In fact, in a 1998 paper by Snow, Burns, and Griffin it is stated that "Literacy represents a key determinant of academic, social, and economic success". It is our desire to reverse the current U.S. trend of 68% of 3rd grade readers whose achievement levels are "below proficient".

What Is DynA?
