Testimonials - Customer feedback on the Phono-Graphix® Method

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.

By far the most efficient and effective reading program I have encountered. I became familiar with Phono-Graphix and used it in the early 2000's in order to help my children learn to read. I have used this program since as a literacy therapist/Speech Language Assistant in schools periodically ever since, and am now revisiting it and officially completing the certification process. As some who loves sounds and building phonological awareness skills, I continue to be in love with this program and what it stands for. It has stood the test of time as being the most effective, efficient, and engaging way to work on reading and ultimately writing skills. It is flexible and capable of helping all ranges of ages, needs, and abilities....all in one, and all in context. I can't say enough about this program, even after all of these years.

My 13 year old daughter suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident when she was 2. As a result, she has had difficulty reading. We have tried more than 10 phonics programs and a host of reading tutors. I was told by educational specialists to stop trying to improve my daughter's skills, and instead, set up accommodations, i.e. books on tape/voice recorder for the blind. My daughter and I traveled across the country to work with [a Phono-Graphix therapist] in a one-week intensive. I was amazed at the improvement in my daughter's skills and confidence after only one week. My daughter's confidence is boosted and her skills significantly enhanced. I would not have believed it if I had not witnessed it myself. The program is not a one-week fix, but it certainly has given us a running start. We will continue practicing the methods, and [our Phono-Graphix therapist] is available to answer questions. I believe she is genuinely interested in my daughter's progress. I cannot recommend the PhonoGraphix method highly enough.

This is a great course for teachers who are working with struggling readers! Thank you!

I can't thank you enough! Your work has helped me to become a much better reading teacher! I'm forever grateful!

It has sound basic principles, makes sense, and is much less frustrating for a child struggling to learn to read.

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!

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.

This course has been informative and fun. I have enjoyed working through the instruction and the videos. The examples of real life one-on-one instruction is my favorite part. I have been working through the program with my niece, and I have been amazed at her progress. I am looking forward to working with more students and seeing the amazing progress in their reading also.

This course provided me with a wealth of information that I will be able to immediately incorporate into my daily lessons in a kindergarten classroom as well as when working with children individually. I appreciate everything I learned!

This is a really great course. Phono-Graphix is like the missing link, in the foundation of learning to read. It teaches learners how to 'crack the code' of the sound-symbol correspondence in reading. The lessons are practical, and clearly structured, not rule-based. Lessons give the learner hands-on experience and practise, in getting inside words, blending sounds together for meaning, manipulating sounds to navigate the different ways of writing sounds in English as well as how to tackle multi-syllable words. This method works well with adults too. Doing the course online means I have been able to work with students as I have progressed through the course at my own pace, with terrific tutor help and support by email. I thoroughly recommend it!
