Suspicious activity
I commented on their post on a Facebook page called "Help My Child Learn Better" advertising for this program. I just complained about the annoying video they make you watch before telling you what their product even is. I also linked the reviews from this page. They deleted my comment and blocked me from commenting on their page.
This reading technique NOT new!
A much better and less expensive (One time home license fee was around $150 the last time I checked) program with extensive data to prove it has worked in schools all overy the country for 25 years is available at
www.ceilearning.com
I only mention this to point out that the reading "system" described in this program (learning letter sounds first) is absolutely NOT new.
Note: English teachers are NOT reading teachers and have typically not been educated on reading therapy (teaching phoneme sounds and blending) at the primary level. ENGLISH classes are not taught at the primary level. Teaching English (grammar and sentence structure) is completely different from teaching Reading.
She is correct in that letter sounds should be learned first, but the program needs to be much more multi-sensory (hear it, say it, trace it, write it, spell it ---all at the same time) in order to actually work (put short term learning into the long term memory area of the brain)....especially if your intention is to help your child learn how to overcome dyslexia by adapting the learning process from auditory only (most classrooms) to multisensory instruction.
Note:
D- O- G should never be pronounced as
DUH -OH(long o sound) -GUH ...there is no long o sound in dog...so right away, I'm concerned about the integrity of the instruction.
This program won't do damage, I simply doubt that it will work as quickly as claimed? however, I have not used it. Having said that...any time spent with a child teaching them to sound out words is time well spent.

Request for Refund and Cancellation
How Can I cancel my subscription and get a refund?
My card was charged 1 week ago for the 1st month. Emailed the Admin but no reply. Thanks
I need urgent assistance please. I paid for the trial version and used it for a few days and then went over to the monthly payment. However, the previous login and password no longer works, and I am unable to get back in on the site. How do I get the new login?
I paid for the trial version and used it for a few days and then went over to the monthly payment automatically. However, the previous login and password no longer works, and I am unable to get back in on the site. I have sent several emails requesting assistance and only get an automated reply.

Just trying to understand your review. So you did use the reading system for over a year and are now trying to get a refund back, but you are outside of the warranty time? Is that correct? I wasn't sure what the complaint was? How was the program itself?

We got duped!
My advise. If they don’t have a physical office address and phone line to contact them directly please stay away.
Download free reading videos online such as Alphablocks to help your child learn how to read with fun. It is free on YouTube.
Anyone wanting to get their young children to read - needs to read The Read-Aloud Handbook - Book by Jim Trelease - it is a quick read - ( 1/2 the book is a reference to good books to read aloud.) I raised 4 children- I am a preschool director - and I have my masters in early ed.
I am alarmed at their claim to "cure dyxelia". Read aloud to your child a lot - let them see you reading - talk about books - read chapter books and all this is free - your local library has all you need!
I'm not buying it...phonics is not new...Show your child how often you read...traffic signs mail,google...recipes...CEREAL BOXES...etc
Disappointed
Did you get your refund? If so was it within clickbank refund period? I requested a refund outside the 60 day period, but I purchased the lifetime subscription, which states 1 year money back guarantee. It’s now 3 requests in two weeks and no one is getting back to me...go figure.
I did get my refund but I only had the program for a month. I too had gotten the 1yr guarantee and they were good about contacting me. Did you go through the click bank directly? I went to clickbank.com and did the live chat and the person who helped me got me the refund right away.
Great Overall product
I bought the product back in September right before two of my children went to school. Everyday they came from school they wanted to hop on the computer to learn more because it felt like a game to them. At the same time it helped them learn to read and write. I got their report card and met with their teachers, they we're both above average in their class.
Can i say i owe it all to reading head start? Not all of it but it really helped children get a head start that's for sure.
I'm surprised people haven't commented here though. They're offering 3-day trial for 1$ for anyone who wants to try it.

where did you to get the games? I can't find them for my children. Have you done any of the lessons with your kids?
Can't wait to read the response.
Looks to me like someone working with them.
