Read America's Phono-Graphix has been the premier international membership organization for literacy professionals since 1996. Many of our most recently added member features are listed below.

• NEW THIS YEAR - In October 2007, we added our new 2008 Continuing Education Series of 12 PPT presentations on topics of interests to classroom and clinical teachers. The PPTs are there for members, live on demand, on the site when it's convenient for members to view.
  
  In February, we added Read America Lessons Network. It's ReAL Education Programming live from Read America's Praxis Education Center and Chrysalis School, twice weekly. Each live ReAL segment is archived for members to view at their convenience.
  
  
• Member profiles appear on our FIND A TEACHER link, so parents, trainees, and potential employers can find you. Add a therapist or trainer listing at MEMBER SERVICES and you will also be able to advertise your services and have an email link for potential clients and trainees to contact you.
  
  
• For private practice therapists - By popular demand parents can post comments about your work.
  
  
• For classroom teachers - This is your opportunity to share what you do and how you do it. Other members and parents (and potential school districts shopping for teachers) will enjoy reading about your work and your students.
  
  
• For volunteers - Now members who offer literacy volunteer work can get that much appreciated appreciation. We know who you are, and we love you for what you do. Now it's time for you to get your cyber hug for doing it. Members who volunteer can now add a section to their member profile telling others about the service offered.
  
  
• Clinic, Home & School Partnership where your parents can view a flash animation explaining what reading is to help them understand the value of their child's clinic or school lessons, track their child’s progress through the lessons, get help with Phono-Graphix homework assignments, connect and chat with parents of children from other participating clinics or classrooms, view dates and times of Phono-Graphix community lectures.
  
  
• Share Zone on MEMBER RESOURCES where members can upload their worksheets, stories, and lessons to be shared with other members. The self contained page is user friendly and easy to navigate. In three steps anyone can turn their worksheet into a printable Share Zone masterpiece.
