Re: OT - Reading Program - Phonographix

May 4, 2008

Hi, .

Where did you find the Phonographix program? I checked online and the only

thing I found aside from research was an organization where you work with

therapists trained in the technique.

I'd appreciate any information on where I could access the program or purchase

it.

Thanks!

I don't know if this is available in your library, but I used

Phonographix Reading Recovery to teach both my kids how to

read. When my older daughter (NT) left kindergarten, she couldn't

read and this program is what the librarian recommended. It was

great, we did it about 5 minutes every day and she entered 1st grade

reading above the rest of the kids. With my girl, I didn't take

any chances. I used this program before she started kindergarten and

she entered a strong reader. I like the program, it's VERY easy to

use and fast. We didn't finish the book since I was just using the

program to give the girls a start but it worked pretty fast. Good

luck! And I completely agree with reading to your son also. Both my

girls (9 and 11) still like me to read to them (and so does my

husband)! We also spend lots of time at the library and I am not

picky about what they read (even when I hate it). Have you tried

Captain Underpants? Totally gross, but my 9 year old loves it.

I bought the " Reading Reflex " book by Carmen and Geoffry McGuinness, it was only

$18 from bookstore I ordered it from. It feels overwhelming to start, but after

starting to read it, the concept does not seem to bad once it is understood. We

see an educational consultant who does a variety of programs for ASD kids and

recommened this program, since it is like a code, which many of our kids like

and my son needs things to make logical sense. On page 21 of this book, there

is a number to contact for more resources- stories, games, computer programs,

also.

I have not really started to teach my son to read who is in K, since I did not

find anything prior that seemed best for him to use. I have been afraid of him

being able to do the same thing with site words, and not be able to figure out

other words he does not know. I am starting now, as this program seems the best

for him.

I think the company also does a support program, if kids are still having a

hard time learning from just working off the book.

- It was great to hear this worked well with your kids! Where did you

get the short program you used, since you did not really use the book? Is this

from the Recovery program you have to access through the company?
