Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 6, 2023

I purchased this when we discovered my son (A) had dyslexia and I was looking for resources to help him to learn. We homeschool and he is a twin, his twin (G) doesn't have dyslexia and learns at an extremely rapid pace, which was always a sore point when they were using the same resources. Now that A has this book, G is always wanting to join in because A is always enthusiastic and having fun with his lessons. Its also allowed A to almost catch up to G when he was close to 2 years behind him originally. I truly think all children, whether they have dyslexia or not, would benefit from the teaching styles presented in this book. I cant speak highly enough about it!!!

I bought this book for my grade 1 son when we began our homeschool journey. He loved it so much. After a bad experience in Kindergarten he loves learning again. He is a confident reader now. His teachers and family members have been so impressed at how far he has come in six months. Now he is reading at an advanced level independently. He is not dyslexic but the methods in this book really helped him in areas he was struggling.

I love this program. I never knew how to teach phonemic awareness, I thought it was more complicated than it really is. This has lots of activities that are simple and easy to follow through with. Highly recommend if regular phonics isn’t sticking.

What I didn't know I needed--fills the gap!

I've been working on letters with my daughter since she was 3. Now that she is 6 1/2, I have finally googled symptoms of dyslexia and faced the reality that she appears to be not simply a "slow reader." I also ordered several books and studied the website of the International Dyslexia Association. That is where I learned the concepts of "structured literacy" and realized that I had long ago neglected "phonemic awareness" and moved past it before she was ready. The exercises in this workbook are the first thing I have found that specifically address this in a way that does not immediately frustrate her or turn her off the way a standard workbook does. (But she is often tired/stretched at the end of them, which is how I know she is learning--specifically, she is learning awareness of sounds that I didn't know I needed to teach.) Because so many of the exercises are picture-based and interactive in novel/unpredictable ways (spinning the paperclip to determine which picture to match the beginning sound of), they appeal to her curiosity and keep her interested. They are also easy to repeat when the concept still needs work. And they are short, so easy to find time to do AND they challenge and reinforce the concepts without being exhausting or tedious. I know that these exercises seem "easy" to a lot of people and kids, but for my otherwise bright/advanced kid whose mind is REALLY resistant to limiting her writing to the way the letters are "supposed" to go and becomes suddenly exhausted and distracted when I ask her to sound out words or letters, it is PERFECT--the early intervention I was looking for. My many thanks to the author and publisher!!

Confusing

Right off the bat with lessons 1 and 2, words should have accompanied the corresponding graphics as it’s very open to interpretation what you think it’s called. For example, a picture of clouds is actually “sky.” Frustratingly, if the parent or child sees it as clouds then you have unanswered, non rhyming segments and a pause occurs which can be upsetting as these kids already feel confused or “less than.” Activity 2 repeats this frustrating issue as it has a thermometer above a man running- but the words needed are “hot” and “runner.” Also a purple circle is “dot.” Strawberry jam is actually “jar.” Parents likely need to review the lesson ahead of time so both of them don’t feel frustrated with it. It’s not pick up and go either. There are lessons that require tools. They might be basic but a parent needs to look ahead and have those on hand. We didn’t have paper clips for example and that was required for the spinner in a game.

Dyslexic Granddaughter Finally Able to Read in Her Own

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2021

My 8 year old granddaughter, Evan, was diagnosed with Dyslexia in kindergarten. She has struggled for 3 years to learn to read on her own. She has cried many tears because her younger brothers had already learned to read and she struggled. We bought her a Leap reading system and that helped her with sight words, but she still struggled to put the words together and read sentences, be able to write in sentences etc. When she was in the public school, she worked with a counselor and specialist. Still nothing. I found this book before Christmas and sent it to my daughter to work with her. They just started the book this week and Evan came into the kitchen this morning reading sentences and making choices to fill in the blanks with the appropriate sight words. My granddaughter didn’t even realize she was reading on her own until my daughter pointed it out. Her confidence and excitement went through the roof. My daughter said she has done 8 lessons today on her own when she realized what only a few days had done towards helping her mind figure out the appropriate order of things. I wish I could hug the author and say thank you.
