Review: It works! Helpful, straightforward, systematic - We have literally spent thousands on different reading programs, therapies, and services but none of them helped my dyslexic child advance in reading more than this little workbook, paired with the online games and captivating chapter books. Seriously. We have done ALLLLLL the programs. My girl just turned 14 and I was at the end of my rope, beyond exhausted with Barton, seeing very little growth, feeling like I’d failed her as a mother and teacher. This book had been sitting on our shelf for years because I wanted to give the “recommended” programs a try and thought “certainly, this program I’ve spent $$$$$ on will work better than this $25 workbook!” Wrong! Turns out this is just what she needs. I’m seeing more growth with Blast Off than we did in 2 years of diligent Barton instruction. She just finished reading to me “The Trap Door” and was beaming with pride in herself! A true gift! I never thought I’d see that. Thank you!!
Review: This book has been wonderful for my eight year old that was diagnosed with ... - This book has been wonderful for my eight year old that was diagnosed with dyslexia at six. We were lucky enough to attend a school that cared deeply about every child reading for kindergarten. From this school, I learned about the Barton Method (expensive, challenging for a parent, but excellent) and One Minute Reader (excellent for fluency). The public school we attended did little to assist my daughter in her struggles. We pulled her out of school to home school her for a year to see how it went. Not only did she make massive gains in her other subjects, but this book was instrumental in helping her to learn the rules of reading. Her fluency has increased from 9 words a minute to 68 words per minute. The rules have assisted her in her ability to spell. I am grateful for such an inexpensive and effective program that truly helps struggling readers. Any parent can use this system to help their child in my opinion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT BOOK FOR A CHILD STRUGGLING TO READ.
*by T***M on August 8, 2018*

I am normally not one to write a product review. However, I felt I had to comment for those parents searching to help their struggling reader. My 9yr old was just diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD. He has fallen behind in school as a result. So we have been working with different lesson plans all summer (including ones given by his teachers) and THIS BOOK is by far the easiest at TEACHING (for parent) and LEARNING (for child). It breaks things down into manageable portions that can be done at the child's pace. Each lesson can be done in 30-45 minutes or broken down if your child has trouble focusing. It starts from the beginning and introduces VOWELS & CONSONANTS. It may seem too simple for some kids who already know their CVC's (as mine did) but focusing on the SOUNDS that the letters make actually help them in breaking down the words for reading and spelling. For the first time, my child has written sentences on his own, without Mom or Dad helping him sound out the words. It's teaching him to sound the words out on his own and THIS is what I find so fantastic, because my child is developing the CONFIDENCE to read & write for himself. I wish I had discovered this book sooner!
