Get Certified in Phono-Graphix!
Our practitioners make a difference in thousands of children's lives every day - in classrooms, clinics, pull-out and RTI programs, bilingual and ESL programs, Waldorf and Montessori schools, pre-schools, home-schools, speech and language pathology practices, volunteer literacy projects and adult literacy programs
Our Phono-Graphix certification courses are designed to show you exactly how to replicate the results achieved at the Read America Clinic in Orlando, Florida, reported in the Orton Annals of Dyslexia and other clinical studies. The Orton Annals of Dyslexia study included 87 children ages six to sixteen, 44% of whom were previously diagnosed as learning disabled. In a twelve hour remedial course, 98% of the children reached grade level reading. The remaining 2% simply needed additional time in therapy. Remediation time averaged only twelve hours. Average gains were just over two years in real word reading and four years in nonsense word reading (decoding). In subsequent work at the clinic, the shortest time in which a client was remediated was six hours and the longest time was 36 hours.
Our courses will prepare you to teach new and emerging readers and to remediate reading problems at any age or ability, clinically one-on-one, in small groups and in classroom settings.
As a certified Phono-Graphix practitioner, you will be eligible to join the professional Phono-Graphix Association of Reading Therapists, allowing you to get exclusive offers, network, interact, and reach out to thousands of potential clients through our website.
Train Online
Over 1.300 teachers and parents have trained online!
In our online course animated sample students provide you with composite personalities, constructed from the years of experience of the program developers. Real students come to life, with real personalities, real auditory processing deficits, poor code knowledge, and a mixed bag of bad strategies. Students Annabel, Donny, and Fiona make all the mistakes participants will typically need to handle in their clinics and classrooms. The program developers appear with appropriate outtakes so that participants get the most out of the students's errors and the Phono-Graphix error correction techniques. Imagine that you could peek in a window and watch one of the program developers giving a lesson. Now you can! You will feel like you know the program developers when you've completed the course, like they led you by the hand through the nature of the code, the nature of the learner, and all the subtleties that make Phono-Graphix the most effective reading program ever used.
Work at your own pace - log on from home, school, or work, and take as long as you wish to complete the course, or you can do it in as fast as ten days if your pace is quick and you have the time to dedicate to it.
It's affordable - our online course is affordably priced, you won't have to worry about travel and lodging, and do not have to miss work to complete it.
It's easy and effective: Online participants can review lectures and demonstrations over and over and at their convenience, and demonstrations are much closer-in than in a large training venue. Participants go through the entire program with a student or students of their own, and can easily ask questions in the course or email the instructor(s) or program developers directly.
Course fee is $830 per person and includes a full kit of instructional materials for working with your students, and shipping within the United States. Substantial discounts are available for groups of 5 or more!

Read what some of our online trainees have to say:
"The Phono-Graphix system is so much more logical than any other system I've worked with, it makes sense and it's fun! I liked the amount of practicals we had to do - I'm sure we wouldn't have had that in a one week, face-to-face course. I also enjoyed seeing the system in action, eg in the videos of Michelle with Shelby. I've started working with 2 six-year-olds, and they've made huge progress already in two lessons! The second child is extremely distractable - and I couldn't believe how he was able to focus for a whole hour non-stop! The system obviously made total sense to him, which clearly hasn't happened before! Thanks very much for the imput and answering all my questions - I know I've got more, so I hope I'll be able to continue sending them in as I think about it. Keep up the great work!"
Bronwen Williams, Auckland, New Zealand
"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!"
Denise Gummer, Benfleet, Essex, UK
"Phonographix is an excellent program because of its structure and exceptional lessons. It is worth your while and students will surely become better readers because of the way they are learning to recognize sounds and sound pictures."
Jessica Vera, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"I enjoyed being able to work at my own pace and having the opportunity to practice the lessons prior to implementing them in my classroom during the upcoming school year. Feedback about assignments was especially helpful in my understanding of the program."
Charlene Smith, Bangor, PA
