I know he's ready for the other phonograms (ai, etc.) but Wilson takes too long to get to them. Thanks! He finished vision therapy this past summer and has made great progress so far.

I've gotten distracted lately. Regarding your eleven-year-old son, have you investigated the vision side of things yet? In my experience, if he's really having trouble with basic reading at that age he probably has a vision problem of the nature I discuss elsewhere on this site. That's especially true if another sibling is also having trouble learning to read, as I believe that the vision problems are genetic in nature. I much prefer to have the vision issues addressed first with vision therapy and then attack the phonics problem. Many times the phonics instruction isn't even needed then because the child starts to learn on his own, including using phonics information he was previously taught. I'll email you directly regarding the workbook. Rod Hi Dawn,

I gave you the idea for Lulu way back. I'm finally ready to try your method. We've been using the Wilson Reading System with my son who is 11. He's just starting Step 4 which is finally getting into "silent e" words. It's just taking SO LOOOOOONG that I was hoping that your method would go faster for him because honestly I need him (and his younger brother who is having problems as well) to READ because I have another child I'm teaching to read and next year I'll have another one. I have a question...my sons know the first vowel sounds, the basic consonants & wh, sh, ch, & ck. How do I teach the others? Do I drill them with all the sounds, then move into how it's done in Reading Reflex or start with the methods in Reading Reflex and just go from there? I have downloaded all your articles on this site (I put them in a Word document so I can find them easily) and read through them last night. Your method of chunking words seems so much easier that Wilson's. Also, is it possible to get an "advanced copy" of the workbook? Pretty please?? Thanks for your site! Hi Rod.
