Deaf Mother Teaches all her Children to Read with Alpha-Phonics!

Testimonial

“I know you have many people tell you that your program does work, but how many DEAF parents have told you?”
— Cheri Walters

Six years ago, my older daughter Chayah was taught using your Alpha-Phonics book and she learned to read at age 4. Today she collects books such as John Grisham’s novels (her best liked books), Nancy Drew; The Boxcar Children, Smithsonian magazines, and she read almost the entire library in my living room. There were times I didn’t think some books would interest her but she read from first page to last page in every book. Even rereading them. She reads books like The Complete Book of Food and Nutrition by J.I. Rodale (I always thought these books were for adults but she proved me wrong). This week she is reading “The Beautiful Mind” The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash.

My five year old son, Ru, just read the entire book “The Fire Truck” to a neighbor who didn’t really think he knows all the words. She demanded to know what kind of program I use to teach them. She is spreading the word.

I wanted you to know that your program does really work and I have been trying to convince many friends and relatives that it was a mistake for them to use other programs to teach their children how to read. All of them were impressed by our children’s (ages 10, 5 and 2- the two year old is recognizing the sound symbols) ability to read.

I know you have many people tell you that your program does work but how many DEAF parents have told you that even a deaf parent who teaches children with your program does work. I am the proof because all my three children read. I recently registered my ten year old daughter in Eula public school. They knew I home-school all my children. They were surprised that my daughter has the highest reading comprehension score than anyone in their fifth and sixth grade classes. I put my daughter in public school because she wants to experience the school system and have P.E., Music, and interaction with other students for two years.

Sincerely,
Cheri Walters
