Testimonials - Customer feedback on the Phono-Graphix® Method

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!!

Our 8 year old nephew was having difficulties with reading. After reading such positive feedback regarding Phono-Graphix, our family decided to travel from Virginia to attend the one week Intensive course. He is making great progress with his reading. [Our Instructor] has made a difference not only with providing him with valuable tools to assist in his reading but teaching us (Aunt, Mom and Grandmom) how to continue further training.

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.

Both of my twins had phonographic help in primary school, they are now 26 years old! Phonographix was just amazing and 'unlocked' reading for them both. One is now a veterinary nurse and the other works in brain injury rehab. I absolutely know this wouldn't have been possible had I not discovered this method.

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.

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.

As a veteran Special Education teacher, I was really stunned by the research results of Phono-Graphix supporting its effectiveness. I wish I had known about this methodology much sooner.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Phonographix teaches decoding skills to children taking into account at their own developmental level. It's screening is easy to administer and will not make the student feel like they are going to a test! This allows immediate planning of intervention with a combination of levels that increases the child's confidence and at the same time challenges them to improve skills! In terms of adult learning, the accessibility of the online resources makes it very convenient for professionals to work in our own pace while receiving great support to video conferences and prompt response via email as well.
