Home School Phonics Programs Testimonials
Read what other educators are saying about our home school phonics
programs:
"Discover Intensive Phonics for Yourself wins the prize here. A completely
non-consumable, reasonably priced, and absolutely clutter-free program. The only
supplies you need are a black board or marker board and something to write on it
with. The very best part is that most work is done standing up at the blackboard.
Active kids love blackboard work-especially the kind of kids who fail with sit-down-and-pay-attention
types of phonics programs.";

"Hands down, this is the phonics program I recommend. It is user-friendly,
telling you what to say when and why. It’s non-consumable, so you can use it with
all of your children, lend it to friends the years you don’t need it, and still
have it for grandchildren! (The) theory is this: if a child works at a blackboard,
he uses more of his body in active learning. Phonics taught thoroughly does not
need added games, songs, or prizes – learning to read is the reward. I especially
like her application of principles to syllabication. Many friends have borrowed
my book to teach this to their children. I highly recommend this resource."

"We have five daughters and have home schooled for about 17 years. During those
years we have tried over 8 phonics programs. I was trying to find one that was easy
to teach, useable with all ages, and non-consumable. Two years ago I went to a conference
and wandered over to the Discover Intensive Phonics for Yourself booth. Since we'd
used a curriculum with markings before, I really wanted that in my 'ideal phonics
program!' I was immediately impressed with the simplicity of the system. Our 8-year-old
commented one day, 'I really understand this. I never understood what you were trying
to teach me before.' We are deeply grateful for the Discover Intensive Phonics system
as it has ended my search for the 'ideal phonics program.'" I was becoming
weary with all the effort!"

"Let me introduce myself! I am a home schooling mother with nine children in various
grades from kindergarten to twelfth grade. I have used many phonics programs over
the years before I chose Discover Intensive Phonics as my very favorite. Professional
in its scope and sequence, it proceeds clearly without any clutter. This program
has a logical order to it without any obscure rules for rarely used words. Each
level is practiced perfectly before progressing to the next with a sensible amount
of review built in along the way. Facilitating the uniqueness of my children, this
special system uses a variety of teaching modes covering all the different learning
styles. Using this superior phonics program, they have become excellent readers!
Now for the best part! The HEC computer software program incorporates perfectly
the essence of and procedures in the original Discover Intensive Phonics. In our
home school, this program is like having another phonics teacher who never tires
and is always patient and kind. It wonderfully reinforces what I am teaching. The
female voice used for the program is sweet, pleasant, and encouraging. The children
find the program interesting and easy to use with each lesson the perfect length
for young attention spans. HEC's Reading Horizons Elementary software program has
greatly improved our home school and I would heartily recommend this valuable tool."
