Real stories from real people

Since 2005, Wyzant has provided a way for people to learn any subject in a way that works for them.

Laura H.

47 Phonics lessons

Our son was challenged sounding out words, and at his advanced age, finding a phonics program that wasn't just for younger kids was impossible. Malea was able to develop a program as time progressed based on his specific problem areas she identified each lesson. She used a wide range of resources she knew about and searched diligently for new resources to help him. Not only did his phonics improve, his reading out loud skills improved and he grew more and more confident each week.
