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 School, Isanti, MN.
Practical Home Schooling(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.
Lori 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.
