Scholastic Reading Program

This is an excellent reading program. It comes with 60 readers, 30 workbooks that go with the readers, 2 writing workbooks, 2 spelling workbooks, a game and a CD with every workbook. My grandson is going into the second grade this year and reads on a 5th or 6th grade level. The program is awesome. I have no idea how much it cost because it was a gift to me.

Reading Horizons

This company wins for me because they generously teach phonics to parents without cost if they want to learn it themselves to teach their children. The program is explicit and systematic, which is vital for dyslexia help. It is certainly one of the most economical and complete-yet-simple phonics instruction programs you can get. The website is www.readinghorizonsathome.com. Check out the free learning resources for the Online Workshop is you want to learn phonics yourself. Literacy is the passion in this company. If you know of anyone needing serious reading help but doesn't have the finances for this, there are avenues that can be pursued; just contact the company at 1-800-705-6568.
