Phono-Graphix is simply the most well respected reading method around.
Our groundbreaking reseach in 1996 set the literacy world on its ear
with gains well beyond anything acheived by other methods to date.
Since then several research papers have backed us up.

Examining the effects of Phono-Graphix on the remediation of reading skills of students with disabilities: a program evaluation.
Author: Stacy A. Endress
Publication: Education & Treatment of Children Magazine/Journal
May 1, 2007
Volume: 30, Issue: 2
From the article: Many of the gains demonstrated in this
program evaluation are statistically significant, these
students made gains on the WJ-III normative group in
their performance of 7% to 10% for the elementary group
and 6% to 15% for the upper elementary/secondary group
rather than continuing to fall further behind as do most
students in special education. As stated previously, given
that the students in this evaluation received special
education services, one would expect their standard
score difference to be stable or to worsen. Just the opposite occurred.
This finding is particularly important when one considers
that the goal of special education is to reintroduce the
student into the general education curriculum.
