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!

I am very happy that I was able to take this certification curriculum. I learned so much about myself and the written language. I would recommend that when possible, you use actual students to complete your online assignments. I found that I learned much more when I worked with students rather than adults. Kids have a way of coming up with questions and ideas that adults don't even think about. They are very creative and full of insight. I learned more about errors and error correction when working with students than when teaching a lesson to an adult. I was fortunate to be able to study and learn this curriculum as my youngest child was just diagnosed with dyslexia. This curriculum has helped me understand how my chid is processing words and how I can help them. It was nice to have a child at home who could help me with my homework. It was a great way to get them to practice decoding without feeling like they were doing homework. I can see the progress their reading already. I can't wait to be able to apply what I have learned to future reading groups.

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.

This course works quickly when used with students even in a group setting. Students become confident in skills quickly and the exercises keep them interested. There is plenty of opportunity to include positivity, which in turn builds the confidence that children depend upon to become great readers.

Phono-Graphix has absolutely blown my mind! As an elementary school teacher with 6 years of experience, I have found that teaching reading is extremely challenging. What works for one student does not work for another and the processes and results are very inconsistent across the board. Trying to scramble everything that you know to fit it to different students can become confusing, time consuming, and extremely overwhelming. Having a methodology like Phono-Graphix that works across ALL students, is absolutely the best investment any teacher can ever make. It will not only pay off with your students results, but also your time and ability to see things differently.

Great evidence-based intervention for students with reading disabilities!

Having been working with our adult students for almost an entire school year now using Reading Reflex, I am seeing the impact of the methodology and understand more than ever the necessity of so many other educators needing knowledge of an effective reading intervention and instruction technique.

This course is fantastic for anyone teaching reading. It brings the task back to basics, it cuts out all the complexities of spelling rules, long and short vowels, etc. etc., and gets straight to the task. Really worthwhile! Not only do I as a tutor find this beneficial, my most difficult reluctant readers are really progressing due to Phono-Graphix.

For over 15 years Phono-Graphix has been a big part of my life. It makes learning to read fun and simple. I have used Phono-Graphix with children and adults of all nationalities and abilities. I cannot explain how rewarding it feels to teach using Phono-Graphix and see improvements in reading as early as the first lesson! My most memorable student - a lady who had suffered a stroke. She had to learn to read and write again, and Phono-Graphix made that so easy for her.

I loved this course! I feel for me as a SLP it's the missing piece for teaching kids how to decode. I appreciated that Erin took the time to provide feedback after the Pink, Blue, and Purple assignments. Her insights and suggestions were invaluable.

I have found the course invaluable and have enjoyed it immensely. It gave me the opportunity to brush up on my teaching practises. My confidence has been boosted and i have been inspired to be more adventurous. The whole internet thing daunted me! So i learnt by discovery. Be it at times after i had made silly mistakes. But isn't that the way to learn? The students i have taught and paticipating in this course has confirmed to me that i must keep trying to bring Phono-Grphix to the attention of everyone. This paradigm shift will happen! So don't be a thinker and linger. Don't dally with P-G. It will enpower inspire and just think what you could do!
