Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 This is the program I used. http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Reflex-Foolproof-Phono-Graphix-Teaching/dp/0684853\ 671 I really liked it. I jumped right in and worked almost everyday of the summer, and by September they were in good shape. The last time I used it was 4 years ago so I might be a little forgetful, but I don't think handwriting is involved at all. I xeroxed the pages (this will make more sense when you see the book) and the girls used the cut up words to make sentences. I just remember it being very easy and quick to do. If you get the book and have specific questions, let me know. I can easily go to the library and pick up a copy of the book and help you.
