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:

"If you want to help your students learn to read in an effective, fun and multi-sensory way, you need to learn this method. I used this method with a student and I saw improvement after the first session. This course made me a better reading teacher because I now understand better why students struggle with reading and I am able to effectively address students' specific challenges with learning to read."

Eboni Zook, Baltimore, Maryland

"It's fantastic. It makes sense to teach a child that letters are "sound pictures". The use of the code and understanding the nature of the code along with segmenting, blending and phoneme manipulation really breaks down the written language. While working with one child during this course, I was impressed at how quickly he was learning to read and self-correcting he did, when he made a mistake. I only wish I had this knowledge while my kids were learning to read! I love the lessons and extensions to the lesson and can't wait to put it to use when students are allowed back into the classroom."

Catherine Sullivan, Kindergarten aide, Arcata, CA

"This course was very helpful in leading me into Phono-Graphix lessons. I definitely learned the most through conducting lessons with students and summarizing the lessons in short reports. Before taking the online course I read the Reading Reflex book and I found that this course and its hands on approach helped to cement the ideas from the initial reading."

Michael Rimmele, Batavia, IL

"The course was well organized, with plenty of additional information in the form of articles to further enhance material covered in the various segments. The demonstrations of implementing Phono-Graphix were hugely helpful and enable me to develop a really good understanding of this instructional program. Phono-Graphix isn't just a tool for children to learn how to read, it is THE tool that ensures every child's success in reading."

C. Carlson, Calgary, Alberta
