My Take
I love this product and recommend it as often as I can. It begins with a placement test so that kids don't get bored doing things that are too easy or overwhelmed by things that are too hard. Then they progress through the phonics program. It even has a portion that records them reading so that I can hear how they read when I'm not around. I love the ease of set up and the progress report that I can see. Its a great program.
How I Use It
I use this for small group work to help those students who are struggling and for a bonus for those who are doing great.
