Award-winning, research-backed articulation approach - Kids Sound Lab is designed for parents and professionals who wish to enhance their children's English pronunciation skills. It has received a five-star rating and outstanding reviews from the Educational App Store in 2017 and was recognized as one of the top six apps in Education at BETT 2016. Developed by a certified speech-language pathologist, Kids Sound Lab presents sounds in the order children typically acquire them, allowing parents to customize difficulty levels starting with easier sounds. Particularly beneficial for families with English as a second language, the program helps children learn sounds in isolation and progress to practicing them in syllables and words, fostering crucial phonological skills essential for future reading proficiency.

Research indicates significant advancements in correct articulation and literacy among young learners in preschool and first grade when using Kids Sound Lab's (KSL) methodology (Gudmundsdottir, 2014; Aevarsdottir, 2016). Noteworthy consultants for Kids Sound Lab include Dr. Barbara Hodson at Wichita State University, KS, and Dr. Katherine Abbott Verdolini at the University of Pittsburgh, PA, renowned experts in articulation, phonology, and voice.
