Testimonials - Customer feedback on the Phono-Graphix® Method

I have learned so many things from this program. I have 21 years of teaching experience, a K-12 Reading Endorsement through my Master's Degree and am Reading Recovery trained; however, I have learned so much about helping the at-risk reader (and all readers for that matter) understand how our language works in a matter-of-fact, hand-on way. My daughter had struggled in first grade and her school used this program with her. Within weeks she was caught up with everyone else, since she had changed schools and the expectations were much higher. The kids enjoy the activities, mastery becomes apparent and it is wonderful to see them use what they have learned in their reading. I found the examples in the training very helpful and am almost sorry it is over. What is not over is using Phono-Graphix as an intervention to the readers in our school who need to accelerate to reach the levels of their peers...I can see myself using this for many years to come! Thanks for thinking outside the box and providing materials for those kids who need a different way of learning!

This course has been unspeakably useful. As a reading instructor and a member of a family with an autistic boy and an ADD/dyslexic boy, the concept that letters are pictures of sounds has been like an awakening!

By far the most efficient and effective reading program I have encountered. I became familiar with Phono-Graphix and used it in the early 2000's in order to help my children learn to read. I have used this program since as a literacy therapist/Speech Language Assistant in schools periodically ever since, and am now revisiting it and officially completing the certification process. As some who loves sounds and building phonological awareness skills, I continue to be in love with this program and what it stands for. It has stood the test of time as being the most effective, efficient, and engaging way to work on reading and ultimately writing skills. It is flexible and capable of helping all ranges of ages, needs, and abilities....all in one, and all in context. I can't say enough about this program, even after all of these years.

I am a parent of three children, two of which struggled tremendously breaking the code to reading, particularly my 10 year old. We tried private tutors, and a myriad of programs until Phono-Graphix was introduced by a speech and language therapist. It has been the only approach to reading that has helped our child. Many thanks for creating this brilliant and logical program that is accessible to professionals and parents.

When I began to pull a small group of 3rd grades students at an international school in Europe, where most of the students spoke english as a second and third language, they were all struggling with not only code knowledge, but also segmenting. They did not enjoy reading, and were very poor spellers. After eight months of only one hour a week of Phono-Graphix, all six students have been mainstreamed back into their third grade language classes. Their spelling has improved tremendously, and all six of them have shared how much they now love to read now. The classroom teacher is amazed at their progress, and the International School is now going to adopt Phono-Graphix as its reading curriculum.

I love how explicit the instruction is. It makes it very clear to students what the sounds are and how to read and write them. This is very valuable to teachers who use word study types of programs.

I really enjoyed this course. It made me think differently about the fundamental skills of reading. I especially enjoyed the different approaches in helping students decode words. The English language is a challenging language with a bunch of rules that don't always apply. This allowed my students to attack words in a more productive way!

This program is definitely worth your investment of time and money. I'm just finishing the training, and have been working with a student as I go. It faster than any method I have ever used, and gets outstanding results.

This course has been informative and fun. I have enjoyed working through the instruction and the videos. The examples of real life one-on-one instruction is my favorite part. I have been working through the program with my niece, and I have been amazed at her progress. I am looking forward to working with more students and seeing the amazing progress in their reading also.

I have started implementing PG with many students, all different ages, and have found it incredibly impactful already. I love how it sets the child up for success from the beginning - something they've kids have rarely experienced before.

Excellent course. Very comprehensive but easy to follow and understand especially with the hands on component.

This program is awesome! I was able to learn a lot about how to use it, but also about phonics as a whole. I cannot wait to use it in my classroom this year!
