Do you have a child who you wish was a more confident reader, writer and speller?

The Problem:

If you have a child in the U.S, Australian or New Zealand school system, you know our educational system is struggling behind other developed countries.  Kids are getting passed through without even basic reading, writing and spelling skills to help them to succeed in life. 

The core mission of every junior school should be to develop a love of reading in each student.  But it isn't.  Many children end up hating reading (especially boys)...and are afraid of it.

We're told that if learning basic reading doesn't involve lots of whole language 'stab in the dark' reading aloud, if it isn't a big picture-book-a-minute or if there's no catchy songs, kids can't learn. 

This is simply not true. Even with this new glitz, too many children are still not learning it. 

Because it doesn't work.  If your child isn't lucky enough to have a superstar teacher, their education suffers.

The only method absolutely positively guaranteed to get kids mastering sounds and words quickly and easily is the old fashioned way...

...through spaced multi-sensory repetition, hearing, seeing, saying and writing of the basic sounds and words of English with repetition over a short time period. 

This is the way the top teachers do it. 

This is the way the top schools do it. 

It is the fastest way to learn.

Phonogram Cards Mastery is the beginning of this method.

And they're faster, easier and cheaper than that shelf full of books, software and sight word flash cards that did little or nothing to help your child learn and fall in love with reading and writing.

In fact, as an Introductory Offer you can save $20.00 on this unique learning system. But hurry this offer is for a limited time only.

But what the heck is a Phonogram ? And who inspired Phonogram Cards?

Phonograms are simply the letter/s and symbols for ONE sound in a given word. Simple Phonics.

Some phonograms are 1, 2, 3, and 4 letters long - they represent the 26 letters and 44 fixed combinations of sounds used in speaking and heard by children when reading.

For example  - did you know there are 3 sounds for the letter 'a'?...'Y' has two vowel sounds and one consonant sound...there are six sounds for 'ough'.

Dr Samual T Orton, a world renowned neural pathologist, spent over 25 years researching how the human brain functioned in learning language. He worked with various teachers including Romalda SPALDING, Anna Gillingham, Nina Trub and others.

Their combined findings produced a method using Phonogram cards as a foundational part of teaching children to write, spell and read

Phonograms are an aid for "thinking to spell." Unless we enjoy being wrong a large portion of the time, we should not expect that if a word looks like another, it will sound the same. "May" might sound like "day," -  but "heard" and "beard" do not sound alike.

We need to identify the phonograms in a word not just the letters. HEARD has three phonograms /h-ear-d/ and BEARD three /b-ea-r-d/. A true word family is a base word with its derivatives (joy, enjoy, rejoice) and not look alike words with nothing in common (joy, toy, boy, soy)

Phonogram Cards Mastery teaches from the known to the unknown, presenting the foundation carefully in such a way as to not overload with too much to confuse, or to leave with too little.

The student is able to experience real life success.

IF we use the 70 phonograms and a few spelling rules we can phonetically explain93-97%of the most frequently used words in our language.

The child learns to hear the parent/teacher say "write the phonogram that says /ch-k-sh/. In other words the student can see and "read" the phonogram or hear and write or "spell" the phonogram.

A child's spiritual growth is hindered if he cannot read the Bible with ease. Are you willing to stretch yourself a little in order to help your children have greater success in writing and reading the English language? The time investment will pay off in the long run.

They can learn like lightning

A child's mind is like a sponge for information.  Never in their lives will they be able to learn more and faster than they do before they are 10 years old.

So the time is NOW.  Your children must learn basic phonics, sounds, reading and writing while they're young. 

Many kids these days develop literal phobias about reading. They stare at their books in a daze, freezing up during tests.

If they can't do well in reading and writing, their self-esteem, their confidence and essentially their entire future is in the hands of other children who may tease and taunt them unmercifully for their literacy problems... unnecessarily making your child feel like a dummy... an outcast.

So Simple, It's... Simple

Basic literacy is easy.  So it should be easy to learn. 

Sounds, symbols, writing, spelling, reading.  10 minutes a day

It's not mysterious.  It's not rocket science.

It's just memorization and thought of very basic information.  Words. Spelling. Nothing more. 

And still, schools all over the country mess up this simple concept.

Get this simple concept wrong. Fail to accomplish basic phonetical awareness and children are left behind.

The Solution...

Happily, finally, mercifully, there is a simple, affordable convenient in-home method for learning and remembering basic phonetic sounds that teaches using a method the brain likes best... spaced multi-sensory repetition with phonogram cards, a pencil and paper.

Think about how you learned how to ride a bike.  You got on and rode for hours.  Round and round your feet pedaled, thousands of revolutions.  At first you probably fell a lot.  But as the days and weeks went by you got better and better and better.  All because you just rode around (practiced) for hours.

It was the same with swimming, throwing, catching and hitting a ball and writing your name.

Over and over you did it.  Better and better you got.

Tying your shoes.  Drawing.  Painting.  Driving.  Shooting baskets.  Walking.  Talking.  Typing.  Public speaking.  Acting.  Martial arts.

All these skills require practice.  Rehearsal.  And time.

The more time you invested in them, the better you got. And the more automatic the skill became.

It's just common sense... right? Effort = Outcome

Protect your children from becoming mediocre. For less than a one private tutoring session, you can use the break through information and secrets that successful teachers use around the world. Save $20 on this amazing program and start your child learning today!

Question:

Since all the things you now do well are because of repetition, from doing them again and again over a period of time, what makes learning sounds and essential spelling tools that are needed to read any different?

Hmmm?

Answer:

It's not.  It's not different at all. 

Your child can, and will, learn the 70 sounds faster and learn them completely if they learn them the same way they learn everything else.  Repetition of the facts.

Do this and they will master the 70 basic sounds of English quickly, and easily.

They will not fear reading.

They will not hate writing. In fact, Phonogram Mastery will also teach them how to have amazing handwriting.

They will master it... in the same way they mastered walking, talking and riding a bike.

It's as certain as the sun will rise tomorrow.

Software?  Well, entertaining, that's for sure.  Spider-Man and Scooby-Doo are pretty fun.  But it's not the quickest way to learn basic literacy skills.

Cartoon books?  Lots of pretty pictures, but short on the repetitiveness that we humans need in order to master skills quickly.

Flash cards?  They are a great way to test your knowledge.  But they are not a way of helping you actually gain the knowledge of how words are broken into sounds.

The Solution: Phonogram Secrets Mastery Program

The Phonogram Cards Mastery program helps your child learn literacy skills faster, retaining what they learn because each program uses 4 different learning strategies.                    

It is multi-sensory.

1) Kinesthetic- Writing foundational sounds and words in a special repetitive manner
2) Verbal/Auditory- Saying (and hearing) the sounds and words aloud as they write them
3) Auditory- Hearing the sounds and rules of language with repetition on the audio files
4) Visual - Seeing words and sounds individually over and over as they write them

Step 1: Pre-Test

The Phonogram Cards Method program starts by giving your child a simple phonological pre-test using the same basic knowledge that will be learned in the program.  Right from the start, you'll know where their level of knowledge phonological awarenes is.  The tests are scored on the number of correct answers and how many sounds and words they are familiar with.

Step 2: Listening and Saying The Phonograms

Using our downloadable blackline masters writing sheets, each day for 10 minutes your child will be given a set number of new phonograms to learn and revise.  On this sheet, after they have revised their phonograms orally, they will write their phonograms out at the same time, they will repeat them aloud. Thus revising them in the written format as well.

This simple yet wildly effective method works, in part, for the same reason you can remember the words to old hit songs you haven't heard in 20 years...

Spaced repetition creates a perfect memory.

So if you think there's any better, faster, easier way, you are fooling yourself.

In addition to physically writing out the phonogram sounds repeatedly, saying them out aloud helps to embed them into your child's mind. And then rereading what they have written cements their learning. 

Hearing themselves say the sounds over and over further consolidates the knowledge.

Seeing the sounds/phonograms written on the practice sheet over and over in your child's handwriting further cements the knowledge into their mind.

These four modalities work together to create learning.

They work together to create a perfect memory of the foundation of reading and writing.

Every single day, your child will build on the knowledge gained from the day before.  They only progress to the next level of phonograms if they have mastered the previous ones. 

So no moving ahead with fear.  No going too fast too soon. No being lost.  This creates incredible confidence. 

This creates automaticity - total mastery.

You can't get this whole brain learning with any piece of software...

Step 3: Learn from the Phonogram Audio & Video and Lesson files

The Phonogram Cards Mastery Method includes Audio and Video files, and 22 on-line lessons plus BONUS resources that you can access instantly on your computer.

Initially you might be hesitant to take on phonics with your children, concerned you may not know how to pronounce certain phonograms correctly.  That's where Phonogram Card Mastery Method is different. We give you audio and visual models of all the letter combinations and sounds, to help you become a master of them too.

These audio and video files are designed for a daily conscious daytime accelerated learning session as well as night time before sleep listening.

Step 4: Evaluate Your Child's Progress

Once your child has successfully completed each daily "embedding" of key phonogram sounds, they can take a short written or verbal quiz at the end of the week.  If they show mastery--responding with the correct answer with barely any thought required, they are ready to go on to the next series of phonogram cards facts the following day.

Once they seem to have mastered the first 45 group of phonogram sounds, you can give your child the first evaluation test again. 

This is where your eyes will open wide in surprise.

Your child will get most, if not all of them correct. 

And will finish a lot faster than they did in the pre-test.

This is where you start jumping up and down with joy. 

Your child is not a dunce.  They are not slow.  They aren't learning disabled as some truly learning disabled "educators" would have you believe.

Your child will now be learning like a genius!

You will be undoing the harm that was caused in school.

No More False Limitations

After just one or two writing and listening sessions, you and your child will begin to see that sounding  out words is becoming easier for them.  They will see that they can learn greater volume of words in short periods of time.

And we don't mean "learn" as in remembering the information for the test and then forgetting it a day or a week later.

That isn't learning.  That is cramming.  And it doesn't stay in your memory. 

Using the Phonogram Card Mastery program will insert this information - it will embed it in their minds so that before too long, they know it as well as you do... maybe even better.
