"Your reading program is great!
It is so easy to follow, at every step it guides me on
exactly what I have to do, and because it doesn't take much
time it is easy to incorporate into our busy schedule. Most
importantly, of course, is that it works! I've also been
amazed at how it holds my son's interest. My son is learning
to read --and he loves it."

alerted us to his difficulties in the classroom, we knew we

program has made all the difference."

soared and she actively participated in class activities."

course of my son's life. The program is a brilliant one for children with
learning difficulties. It not only was successful in teaching my child to read,

never overwhelmed –as he had so often been with other programs—and
he always had a sense of “I can do this!”It also changed Daniel's
teachers. Once they saw the change in him they also had the sense that “He
could do this too.”

him. I feel enormous appreciation to Dr. Blank for giving my son a gift—a
tool for life.”

"I am so pleased with the results I am getting from my children on the Phonics +5
programme and they are all so happy to complete the worksheets. It is making quite a
difference to the older children struggling with literacy and I love the post-test
sentences. The children derive so much satisfaction from writing a complete sentence
correctly for possibly the first time in their lives."
