Testimonials - Customer feedback on the Phono-Graphix® Method


What parents have to say about Phono-Graphix


My son and I attended for the one week intensive program. It was well worth it! My son is 7 and was a very discouraged little boy when it came to reading and eventually all of school. He has struggled with reading and recently was diagnosed LD. We just followed [the instructor's] lead and he was making progress after the first day... the results are amazing! He is smiling and laughing while reading stories to me and not crying anymore!!

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.

...my highest recommendation! I've referred many other parents of children with learning disabilities and parents of children who want to give their children a solid foundation to reading and I've only heard very warm and thankful feedback.

[Our instructor] has been working with our 11 year old son. His grades have greatly improved on reading and comprehension. Lately, she has been working with him more on writing, and his last report card showed great improvement!

What teachers say about using Phono-Graphix in their classrooms


This is an amazing program! It breaks reading down into simple understandable chunks for struggling learners. Such a simple concept that letters are pictures of sounds... everyone should teach reading this way. The field of education needs to catch up with the research!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Amy Franco, Title-1 Teacher, Bradford, Vermont

Great program, totally worth the time. Wish I had this training years ago! Its fun and engaging for the students, and results can be seen immediately.

Judy Navoni, Bothell, Washington

I've been using this program for children with learning disabilities for the past 10 years and it has yielded 100% success rate with all of my students. I've received many appreciative feedback from my students' parents. I am glad I was introduced to this program by my former employer/mentor. I want to take this opportunity to thank the author/creator and all involved in the Phono-Graphix Reading Company.

A simple, fun, fast-working, proven method to teach reading, Phono-Graphix, is laid out in the book Reading Reflex, The Foolproof Phono-Graphix Method for Teaching Your Child to Read, available on the Phono-Graphix website and on Amazon. It's all that is needed to get started helping a new reader or struggling reader, young or old. This book and the Phono-Graphix website give the basic information about the method such as the four concepts that make up the nature of the English code and the three skills needed to access it. The website also offers outstanding support materials for parents and teachers as well as a Phono-Graphix Certification Course. The method works well in school and at home because of its flexibility. https://www.phono-graphix.com/about_the_method.php I have used the method for about eighteen years to teach struggling middle school readers, adult ESL learners, and most recently, as a retired teacher, to tutor a Kindergarten reader just learning the sound/symbol correspondence. The experience of seeing non-readers become readers has been a joy for me and a life-changer for my students and tutees. I originally found out about Phono-Graphix while browsing at the University of Hawaii bookstore and saw Phono-Graphix mentioned as one of the most effective reading methods in a book I came across: Why Our Children Can't Read and What We Can Do About It: A Scientific Revolution in Reading. In his book available on Amazon, Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties, David A. Kilpatrick lists PhonoGraphix as one of the few proven programs. Also, in his November 17, 2017 lecture, "Recent Advances in Understanding Reading Difficulties: Implications for Assessment, Prevention, and Highly Successful intervention," David Kilpatrick lists PhonoGraphix as an example of a program "used in studies with highly successful outcomes." https://www.strose.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Chapter-J-NYASP-Albany-November-17-2017.pdf "

What certified practitioners say about using Phono-Graphix in thier clinical practices, home-schooling, tutoring and more


My friend's daughter is finishing up 1st grade right now. The school's teachers, specialists, and her mother have been working with her since the beginning of 1st grade. In March, her mom talked to me about how they'd hit a brick wall. The mother was desperate. There had been little to no progress since the beginning of the year. I asked her mother if I could take a shot at it. I was just starting my PG course, and I offered the lessons for free. Her daughter was evaluated by the school in March and labeled LD. Immediately after, I starting working with her. After seven sessions, the school's reading specialist sent the mother an email in April expressing her surprise at the child's progress. She was already nearly reading at grade level. Her mother is now a paying customer of mine through the end of summer. :) And the little girl is soooo proud of herself. It was a truly sweet moment to listen to the child tell me about her school tutor's comments.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and developed a lot of confidence in my abilities to identify reading and and spelling problems. I can better understand why dyslexic children have such difficulty but know that I can help effectively with my new Phono-Graphix tools. The course has been useful but help and encouragement form other teachers and experts who use the scheme makes it come alive and make sense.I am looking forward to developing my expertise and effectiveness. Many thanks!

What our trainees say about our course


This course was very informative and I believe that all teachers should review this before teaching.

Alissa Smith, Philadelphia, PA

The course has helped me tremendously. I was not familiar with Phonographix or didn't know how to introduce the nature of the code. The materials (KIT), books, worksheets and online course allowed me to teach Phonographix. Many of my students are reading now and others are eager to continue with the activities in the book. We had fun with the sound bingo at the beginning of the year. I would recommend the course to others! THANK YOU!
