Improve your Child's Reading Ability

in Six Weeks Or Less... Guaranteed!!

 

Recently, I had a coffee with an old friend of mine and she confided that she was very anxious about her daughter as her reading levels had fallen way behind that of her classmates. She felt that her daughter was actually losing her confidence due to this and that she had no longer had faith in her own natural  ability to read. What worried my friend even more was the thought of how bad things might get if her reading didn't dramatically improve. Where would she be in three years or so if things didn't change? 

I reminded her about the software program Sounds to Words, produced by Irish primary teacher Michael Murphy and published by Learning Horizons and she decided to give it a go. She felt she had absolutely nothing to lose.

After spending just twenty to thirty minutes every day for six weeks practicing with Sounds to Words, her daughter was well on her way to reading more confidently and independently. She was thrilled that her daughter wasn't stressing out any more regarding her reading as she found it much easier to learn and recognise new words and finish new reading passages. All of these things had become so much easier as a result of Sounds to Words.

Is This Story One That You Relate To?

As a parent myself, I completely understand the concerns and anxieties that you may have in relation to your child's lack of reading progress and how this can affect your child on an emotional level.

I also know how frustrating and helpless you can feel if your child is constantly struggling to improve his or her reading.  Is it possible that no matter how hard you try to encourage and reassure, your child may still feel ‘labelled' and suffer from low self-esteem at school?

Have you noticed that sometimes your child pretends that everything is okay, only for you to realise the sense of dread he or she actually feels inside while attempting to read a new page from a library book or spell some new words for you?

Here Are The 5 Reasons Why Over 900 Irish Schools Have Used Our Proven Software Program To Dramatically Improve The Reading Levels of Their Students:

  • Your child will have access to 674 proven and engaging reading activities and addictive games that will cover all of his or her required spelling, phonics, language and grammar requirements all the way through from age 4 to 14 years.
  • The 4 CD-ROMs can be installed onto your computer's hard drive, ensuring that your child will have complete access to every learning activity at the simple click of a mouse.
  • Your child will progress at his or her own natural rate. By listening to the professional voice-over from Irish actor Brian Munn and following through the step by step instructions on the CD-Roms, your child's self confidence and belief in his or her own abilities will rocket.
  • The diagnostic tools contained in the software program will enable you to identify your child's strengths and weaknesses in all areas of reading , which can then be addressed with targeted reinforcement activities.
  • You will consolidate and support the phonic, spelling and grammar skills your child is taught in school by working through the hundreds of printable worksheets contained within the program.

"The very best use of computers in school encompasses children engaging in stimulating, meaningful activities, which are tailored to their learning needs. Great credit is due to Michael Murphy for his enormous commitment to producing such a resource, and what's more, it's Irish through and through.This program is a valuable addition to the software range of any primary school."

"Sounds to Words is a splendid way of introducing children to the basic sounds and more complex words of the English language in a colourful and vibrant manner. The program is user-friendly and highly flexible for teacher and pupil alike and I have no hesitation in recommending such a high-quality Irish-made product."
