Update
"Ironically, the method
that research upholds as the most empirically validated is also the most
demanding: phonics-based learning. Tedious for kids, exceedingly difficult for
both amateurs and professionals, the phonics method has been a pedagogical
stepchild: respected, but definitely disliked. Because of this status, it's a
pleasure to see that an old favorite of Education Update, 4:20 Communication's
PhonicsTutor has finally released a new addition to its well-received
phonics-based reading software, PhonicsTutor Frequent Words edition." Mitchell Levine,

Jack O'Brien This program is so intense on phonics that we use it as a
differential diagnosis of a reading disability. If a student
cannot gain in phonemic awareness through this program, they
never will. I would go so far as to say the program "retrains"
the brain. We are completely sold on the program. We have seen
nothing better in our 28 years in education. Jack O'Brien, Teacher, Isanti Elementary

(Highest rating!)
In a sentence, PhonicsTutor is by far the best and most complete phonics,
reading, and spelling curriculum for the computer that I have ever
seen. Phonics Tutor is superior in that it combines all
three of these essential subjects
into one comprehensive program.

Galena I
can truly say I am not sure if my son would be reading past an early
elementary level yet, it if weren�t for this program.
Kathy Von Duyke There aren't a lot of
products that I am extremely excited about, but this is one of them. How I
wish I'd had this product when my older children were small! This computer
program does a better job than even a super mom -- it's more patient, more
long-lasting, and less distracted.
Homeschooling Mother of 9 Then we heard about
PhonicsTutor, and started discussing the benefits of the CD Rom. We decided to
give it a try, in spite of the cost. It was worth every penny. It was
wonderfully exciting to see the light turn on in Peter's eyes, when he finally
realized that he could read and SPELL. The spelling has been
invaluable.
Janice Lefever Thanks to PhonicsTutor,
the STRESS is gone from this homeschool Mom's day..My 4 year old, not to be left in the dust, taught himself
the letters and sounds using your program.
