So Simple to use! Older brother, Tim (8), teaches Tony (4) to read using Funnix 2 Computer programme. |
Ideal for children from 4 to 9 years old.
FUNNIX: A TWO PART READING PROGRAMME
PART ONE: Funnix Beginning Reading
The first programme teaches basics that prepare children for reading. The teaching is gentle and fun. Children are soon reading stories, spelling words and writing sentences.
PART TWO: Funnix 2
The second programme completes the teaching. Your children will now be independent readers.
Who is it For?
Funnix Beginning Reading is for children who can not read. The children may know nothing at all about reading. Or, they may have tried to learn to read in the past, but failed.
What will it do?
Make sure your son or daughter reads independently, is able to read chapter books and non-fiction - like a very competent 9-10 year old reader (NZ school year 4-5).
How long will it take?
20 minutes for each lesson.
120 lessons in the first programme. 100 lessons in the second programme.
What's more, the teacher or parent doesn't need to waste time creating any lesson plans. The software has done it all for you already.
So Simple, your child will love reading.
Funnix teaches your son or daughter to read and to enjoy reading kids stories.
Efficient.
No time wasting.
Straight into it from the very first lesson. In fact, we believe your children will be learning faster than by any other method.
So, fasten your seatbelt.
Fast, Yet Gentle.
Funnix reading software never pushes you to learn anything new before you're ready. It gently prepares you for new learning. Every time.
Funnix constantly mixes new things with the things you already know well. Never get a heap of new things dumped on you all at once.
It's one gentle step at a time. It feels so easy because it IS so easy.
And that means pretty soon your children will be reading like pros.
Review: "Your program is such that it is not continual, monotonous, frustrating review of past learned things. It does a lovely job of reviewing and at the same time adding a new element so as to review in that lesson...only they don't realize it. Thank you, |
Why is it so easy to learn to read with this programme?
Funnix Does Things in Order
This means, in Funnix, you can read E V E R Y T H I N G, every time.
By the time you need to read it, you'll already know it.
So, no frustration. No "I don't know that" feelings of failure.
Keep in mind, Funnix Beginning Reading always makes you ready to take the next step. All words that you read are made up of sounds that Funnix has already taught you.
Remember: Funnix teaches sounds just before words containing those sounds.
It teaches words just before stories containing those words.
Each thing you learn is learned "just in time" to be immediately useful.
Parents and teachers can honestly enjoy listening to their children reading stories because the children read so well.
Funnix Does Things FAST.
Straight away.
Learn a little bit. Then immediately use it to read new words and stories.
By learning just a few things you can soon read heaps of words that you've never even seen before.
As soon as you've learned a new letter, or a new combination of letters, Funnix software shows you new words you that you can now read.
Then, immediately after you've practiced these words, Funnix uses the words in fun stories. SO, there is no need to learn much before you can begin reading parts of your first real stories.
Not only that, you will understand and enjoy what you read.
Funnix Programme's phonics let YOU figure out each new word by yourself . . . so you'll feel great!
But you don't stop there.
That's not all.
You then get to read words "the fast way" just like fluent readers do. And that means you too get to enjoy the stories.
Funnix cures you of dumb, wrong guesses.
You get good at really knowing what each word is, exactly as it is written.
Each Lesson Speeds Up Learning

You'll be a whiz at learning sounds for letters and combinations. Watch the letters appear in entertaining background scenes.

Here's a short story, the way you see it on your computer screen the first time.
Here's the same story, the way you see it the second time, with pictures.:
Funnix Beginning Reading is filled with fun people and animals, including:
Bob, who always gets into trouble with his dad for not following directions.
What on earth has happened to make Bob so muddy?
Clarabelle, a cow that loves to copy what animals and people do. Ducks land on ponds.
Clarabelle decides to copy them. Read what the ducks think about that!
The fox and the turtle: The fox sells bitter butter to a little turtle. The turtle's mum uses the butter to make batter for a cake. Why is the fox looking so ill? What happens next? Read all about it on your computer with Funnix reading software programme!
And many other characters in stories.
Your child will love in this remarkably efficient and fun software programme, designed by Zig Engelmann - school curriculum developer for over 40 years.
Review: "Our site, Vallivue School District in Caldwell, Idaho was fortunate to hear about Funnix. It is a very friendly program for teachers to use and learn. Students thrive on the fact the characters in the worksheets and stories are the very ones they read in their stories. Earnie Lewis, |
Review Reminder: "She loves the stories which she is now having to read all herself. I would really recommend this programme to anyone who is interested. It's a great tool!" Mrs Saunders , |

Who is it For?
Funnix 2 is for children who have completed Funnix Beginning Reading or for children who can easily read New Zealand and Australian primary school year 2 or 3 material, even if the children are younger.
What's in Each Lesson?
1) Sounds and Words: Children have fun identifying words and letters on the screen. The words are from upcoming stories. So children have a motivated reason to learn every word.
The teacher on the disc tells children what to do. Children are directed to sound out some words, spell some, and read some "the fast way" without sounding out.
For some words, children first identify the underlined part, then identify the word.
2) Story Reading: Firstly, children read each story from their book aloud.
The book purposefully has no illustrations. Illustrations appear on the computer after children have read the story.
Most stories are presented in two or more parts. One part per lesson. This story is the first of a five-part story about a moose and a goose.
Stories get longer as the programme continues. This lesson has the last part of a story about a hunting dog with an incredible sense of smell.
Next, children answer comprehension questions about the story. Your son or daughter reads each question aloud and tells you the answer.
Lastly, children read another version of the same story on the computer. Comic style illustrations with balloons show what characters are saying or thinking.
Fun, surprise animations motivate children to love their reading even more.
3) Workbook-type Activities:
Funnix 2 provides workbook type activities on screen. Children number their lined paper and write answers to the on-screen items.

Review Reminder: "To save time later, I thought it worthwhile to spend the time and money now so that she gets ahead rather than falling behind. I don't think that you can leave it up to the schooling system and one teacher when they have so many other students. A teacher can only do so much and then it is up to us parents to do the rest." Regards, |
Review: "I think that Funnix is a very good program. English is my second language, so I myself could learn useful things about reading. Even though English is my second language, I could still teach my 4 year old son, Kento, to read using Funnix and he could learn very well. That surprised me. He's just 4 years old, but can read so well already. Funnix is so fast, I could see his progress. That really encouraged me. So I kept using Funnix to the end of the programme. Kento has just turned five and he is now reading from Funnix 2." Satomi , |

Who Already Uses Funnix, and what do they say?
Review: "I guess I just want to ensure that our daughter has the best start possible. I'd always planned to work a lot more with my children, but unfortunately I worked most of Kaitlin's early years. Now that I'm working from home since moving to Auckland I can spend more time with her myself and have noticed that she has some difficulties with identifying letters and starting to read. To save time later, I thought it worthwhile to spend the time and money now so that she gets ahead rather than falling behind. Kaitlin has no trouble speaking and has done really well with her speeches at school, but she relies on her memory when reading rather than understanding of the sounds that make up the words. I'm hoping to get that corrected by working more with her myself. I don't think that you can leave it up to the schooling system and one teacher when they have so many other students. A teacher can only do so much and then it is up to us parents to do the rest." Regards, |
Review: "Hello, We have been using the Funnix programme for about a year now and have found it easy to follow and use. It is exciting for me to see the development each step of the way because the programme is designed for the parent to be controlling the steps. It now explains so many things I never really knew existed in the English language!! I would really recommend this programme to anyone who is interested. It's a great tool!" Mrs. P Saunders |
Review: "Hi Douglas, We decided to invest in this program as we realise that our daughter is not an 'average' 4 year old and we want to be able to keep her interested in learning, by keeping her challenged. We believe that starting her now is the best way to do this and realise that this is an investment into her future. Julie |
What Else Do I Need?
With Funnix, you need NOTHING ELSE except your computer, a pencil, eraser and paper. (And your child!)
