Ultimate Phonics Reading Program {Spencer Learning}
As part of the Homeschool Review Crew, we had the opportunity to check out the Ultimate Phonics Reading Program from Spencer Learning with our children.

About the Product:

Ultimate Phonics Reading Program is a downloadable software program that helps people of all ages become better readers.  It’s not just for kids!

You can watch the Ultimate Phonics Quick Demo video below to see firsthand what Spencer Learning offers.

The program has over 7,000 pages divided into 262 lessons!  That’s a lot of information!

There are six types of pages:

1) Pattern pages
2) Idea pages
3) Word List pages
4) Word pages
5) Sight Word pages
6) Sentence pages

The pages in a lesson are organized into four parts:

1) A Pattern or Idea page
2) A set of Word List pages
3) A set of Word pages
4) A set of Sentence pages

You can try out a week of Ultimate Phonics Reading Program for free and can find that information on their website.  Once you decide on buying the full version, you will be able to install the program on every computer in your home.  It also can be used with every person in the house!  Just a one time cost.

To find out if your child would benefit from this program, you can check out their Ultimate Phonics Reading Test.

Our Thoughts:

We have been using the Ultimate Phonics Reading Program with my 7 year old over the last few weeks.  She is my most struggling reader right now.  In hind sight, I think I should have went ahead and started it with my 9 year old as well, just to get better at phonics decoding skills.  I plan to start that today.

Honestly, my 7 year old wasn’t a fan of the program at first.  She found it slow and boring, however after some encouragement, she doesn’t mind as much.  I’m seeing that her reading IS improving just after these few weeks of working on the program.  If you are looking for something cartoonish and exciting, this is not that program.  However, if you want something that is more serious and will actually help your child with phonics, this is what you want.

I am super thrilled that the purchase is a one time purchase.  This is fantastic news for large(r) families that would like several students to use the program.  The only improvement that I would like to see them make is an app for iPad or Android so that we could take the lessons with us.  We can take our laptop with us to do lessons on the go, and since it’s a downloaded program, we do not have to have the internet in order to use it.  That’s definitely a plus.

I will be continuing this program with my children and I’m thankful that I was able to learn more about such a wonderful phonics program.
