What parents have to say about Phono-Graphix
I used Reading Reflex with my son for months, but the program has given me so much more than I expected. This method makes sense and our children NEED a reading program that isn't confusing. Since I homeschool my three boys it took me longer than I thought to get through the assignments, but that is the beauty of your course... being able to work at your own pace. My son is reading at grade level and I have a new career opportunity that will work with my schedule. Thanks for offering this program!

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.

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!
A. Herring, Chino Hills, CA
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!

What teachers say about using Phono-Graphix in their classrooms
I love the Phono-Graphix method. I see the success of the program in the classroom and with my own children.
Vivian Guitierrez, Florida
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!
Julia Clements, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Phono-Graphix makes sense. This year I have used it to teach my kindergarten students as well as first, second, and third grade students who have needed remediation. It's easy to present the lessons to all levels of learners. I find that the students are able to progress through each level with ease, and they enjoy that the program is interactive. Other programs I have used have not had a writing component. Sounding out each sound as it is written has made a huge difference in my students' ability to correctly spell words.
Michele Sanguinetti, Scotts Valley, California
I am excited to use this curriculum with each of my students in my K-2 Sensory classroom! I think this will help my struggling readers feel success and my beginning readers stronger. I feel the more I practice with my students the more natural it will become. It just makes sense!

What certified practitioners say about using Phono-Graphix in thier clinical practices, home-schooling, tutoring and more
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.
Amanda Granoff, Washington DC
I love Phono-Graphix and so do my students! They get to experience success from the very first lesson.

What our trainees say about our course
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 highly recommend taking the online course. It offers a lot more practical information and research than in the Reading Reflex book alone, which helps provide better instruction to students. I particularly enjoyed the error correction component of the course :)
