"Your program has left no stone unturned! I am amazed how yours is the first program in all my years as a homeschooling parent and furthermore as an elementary teacher, that truly dispels the myth of understanding syllables and how to attack them in attempting to read and decode words. I think that there are so many students whose literacy issues could be healed if only they had your program."

Follow the Road Through the Code with
“Train the Brain eReaders
$79.00
Raising Robust Readers supports direct instruction of phonics by using “Train the Brain” ebooks that contain only sounds and words that have been learned. Phonograms are introduced and added to each decodable "Train the Brain" reader in a systematic sequence. Each phonogram is presented in a story and used multiple times for sound and pattern recognition. As children learn to read more phonograms, the readers become more sophisticated.
The Raising Robust Readers sequence of introducing and blending sounds is a studied departure from the traditional approach. It is based on proven methods, strategies and experience and designed to build on small steps that produce success.
