Advanced 1 grade level for every 2 months of instruction
Advanced to their age appropriate grade level in 4 months (some in as little as 2.5 months)
Advanced 4.5 grade levels with 6 months of instruction
Mastered Part 1, Phonemic Awareness within 3 months
ALL students who began tutoring with me with an IEP for reading, writing, and/or spelling exited special education to return to regular education within a year.
Also, I have been able to support parents and teachers in their decision to refrain from placing a child in special education because the student was being tutored using Phonetic Reading with Silent Elephant “e”™.

A PRECIOUS STORY
After just five one-half hour tutoring sessions with a ten-year old girl using Phonetic Reading with Silent Elephant “e”™, Part 1 Phonemic Awareness, we had reached Lesson 4D. She softly said to me, “ I think I have figured out what you are trying to teach me.”

“What have you figured out?” I asked encouragingly with much anticipation.

“I have figured out that words have sounds in them,” she hesitatingly began. I smiled at her reassuringly. “I can hear sounds in words now. I see the different colors on the squares, and I have figured out that the different colors mean different sounds. When I touch the squares one at a time, I can hear one sound at a time in my head. I think that is what you are trying to teach me.”

“That is exactly what I have been teaching you! I could not have explained it better! You are awesome! You are brilliant!”

Her shy smile and twinkling eyes said it all—she was so proud of herself! Doors were opening for her.

“I think I am going to be able to learn to read now,” she quietly, yet strongly proclaimed.

Tears fill my eyes as I write this. The confusion and struggle she must have experienced all those years of trying to read—trying to make sense of printed letters and not hearing individual sounds within words must have been exasperating and discouraging.

My tears are not just tears of compassion, but also tears of joy! I know I can teach her and guide her to become a strong, independent reader. I can impart to her the joy and love of reading using Silent Elephant “e”™!

We found ourselves feeling alone on our journey to find the right help for our son. We tried numerous private, big name tutoring centers. We didn’t have any results until we met Linda Jones and started sending our dyslexic son to see her for tutoring. We started noticing improvements in our son’s reading and spelling very quickly. His spirit was higher, he finally had enough confidence to want to try to read. We are grateful to Linda. Her program has made a world of improvement in our lives.
