Testimonials - Customer feedback on the Phono-Graphix® Method

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.

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.

[Our instructor] was able to bring our daughter up two grade levels and be a more confident student. If your child has trouble with reading, we would definitely recommend Phono-Graphix! [Our instructor] also helps parents in being able to assist their children with reading.

...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.

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

Phonographix has been a wonderful program for my students. Introducing multiple representations of sounds was most helpful. It helped my kindergarteners learn sound pictures more quickly and be more fluid in their sound switching while thinking about what makes sense. I would highly recommend the program.

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!

I am the academic coordinator of Brindavan Education Trust, a learning a in Bangalore, India. We are a registered not-for-profit organization. We mainly cater to the education needs of children who are not able to cope with the rigors and pace of mainstream schools. The book Reading Reflex is a treasure trove for us. We use the methods and strategies explained in it with many of our students who struggle with picking up the basic skill of reading.

I love Phono-Graphix and so do my students! They get to experience success from the very first lesson.

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 really enjoyed the Phono-Graphix Course. It has really helped me understand how to teach reading and spelling in fun and simple ways that are designed to meet the needs of all students at different levels. I have learned a lot from the instructions, articles and videos. The comments on the assignment always gave me a push to proceed enthusiastically in the course. The error corrections helped me a lot as they are not looked at as mistakes they are learning opportunities. Looking forward to applying it with all my students in the coming years!

I have really enjoyed this course and have already seen how Phono-Graphix has quickly produced results, in reading and spelling but also in the confidence this gives the children by seeing the progress they are making. Working with a number of year 4 and 5 children all of them enjoyed their individual and group sessions, sometimes asking for more. As an intervention it can be implemented quickly and effectively helping to bridge the gaps of those children who are struggling and bring them closer to their peers.
