"You Can Read! videos are the best video phonics course I have seen. It's genuine intensive phonics, step-by-step. No "Sesame Street" style tinsel, but it did hold the attention of my young ready-to-readers. I would recommend them for parents who want a video tutor. "
-PRACTICAL HOMESCHOOLING magazine
"The phonetic approach is time-honored...You Can Read! is a thorough and accurate presentation of word attack and word analysis skills. It follows the progression suggested by leading authorities... The narrator pronounces/reads all examples and sentences after a few seconds, thus providing a check for the learner."
-Jo Pomeroy, Educational Consultant, Phoenix, AZ

Most of these children are hyperactive and/or dyslexic and have poor attention spans...The results are truly amazing."
