The Reading Intervention Programs are designed for children who have dyslexia, learning disabilities, ADHD, processing problems or those struggling to read.
Now, my son is 3, so he couldn't quite understand everything he was supposed to do yet, however, I did not see this program as one just for those with learning disabilities. I think it would be a great beginning reading program for all children as well.
These programs use a multi-sensory approach where your children are seeing, hearing and touching. Your children will be able too see the person speaking and writing each letter. They will also hear the sound spoken and get to practice writing the letter themselves. (I think this is great on a touchscreen or a tablet)
We used the Maxphonics and Pre-K Phonics programs.
Here they will see the letter and a word that starts with the sound the letter makes.
They will get to see the letter written in the sky and the sand and be able to practice writing it themselves.
For every letter, the child picks the pictures of the words that start with the letter sound.
This is what my son had problems with. He is only 3 though. He does not understand what I mean when I try to tell him what letter sound a word starts with. I had to just do some of these for him so that we could get on to the next letter.
He did however, understand everything else. He would repeat the letter and sound when the lady spoke them, and he could write the letter as asked.
He likes doing this program. He says to me..." Me wanna do my letters".
He loves learning, and once he can grasp the concept of beginning word sounds, he will really be able to excel at this program.
Finding the letters really made him excited. He loved that he could find them all.
This is the part where the child listens to the sound and picks the pictures that start with the particular beginning word sound.
Each letter pretty much follows the same pattern for each letter sound.
MaxScholar also has a reading program called Maxreading. This program is a great follow up to the Maxphonics program or if your child is beyond the phonics program.
The Maxreading program is supposed to be the most effective reading program for dyslexia.
My son doesn't have dyslexia, so I can't really review this program from this point of view, but I definitely think it is a good program and that it would really help to supplement your child's reading.
In the reading program you have some choices as to what you want to read.
You will read a short paragraph or two.
Then you will do some highlighting of the topic, main idea, etc.. along with answering some retention and comprehension questions about what was read.
There is a report system so that you can monitor your child's progress over time.
Here is a good introduction to Maxreading so that you can get a better understanding of the program.
I think whether you have a child with a learning disability or not, that this would be a great supplement, or early reading/phonics program.
It wasn't too hard, or too easy. It seemed just perfect for a beginning phonics program.
In June you can get 20 percent off, or you can try out the free trial to see what you think!

I am excited because I love books! I want my children to love books as much as I do!
When I ordered a few books from a friends party, I was hooked!
The quality of the books is amazing! So sturdy and beautiful!
I loved that the books were so interactive, making bonding with your children even easier and more fun than just reading a typical book.
So, of course I wanted the discount since I planned on buying many, many more books for my sons.
The discount was the main reason I wanted to join UBAM, but there are many more reasons as well.
1. The discount
2. They offer a 100 % replacement if your books get damaged in the first 30 days, and 50 % off after that.
3. You save a lot on the books you get in your kit and get cataogs and other business supplies practically for free.
4. The books are not more expensive than other books you can buy at other stores.
5. There are NO sales minimums that you have to meet each month to stay active and keep your discount.
6. It doesn't cost a whole lot to start up. There are two kits to choose from. One for $75 and one for $125. (Right now we actually have a special on a kit for $89!)
I am pretty excited about this opportunity!
If anyone is interested in becoming a consultant or hosting a party with me, let me know! I can offer FREE DOUBLE BOOKS during my incentive period!
If you just need to order some awesome books, I'd love for you to order from my link!
