Testimonial
When I first met a severely dyslexic 12 year old, she could not read words such as log, hut and tap. However, within 15 minutes of her first session she was applying the Program’s unique decoding techniques and was independently reading words of this nature.
Her resource teacher had sat in on the session and was so impressed that she bought the Program then and there. She was using it within a couple of days and continued to do so until she retired. She later mentioned that within the two years she had used the Program she didn’t encounter a single child who didn’t benefit from it.
– Info for Parents: You should only tutor your child if it does not result in stress and frustration. The reasoning here is that these factors not only inhibit learning but they can also have a negative impact on the parent/child relationship. For alternatives to parental tutoring, see page 3 in the Program’s Guide/Workbook.
– To avoid excessive pronoun clutter (e.g. he/she), the masculine pronoun is used when a student is being referred to as this reflects the prevalence of males to females with learning difficulties.
