We moved to Pride after my final straw with Susan Barton’s lack of imagination and inability to use proper grammar. We couldn’t move on when the story my daughter was supposed to read was grammatically incorrect and the stories for advanced students were about a fat trucker who couldn’t even get into his truck without a crane or some poor lady who was diagnosed with cancer. WHAT??!! So I consulted Cathy Duffy’s reviews and learned about Pride. You wouldn’t believe the change. My daughter now begs to do her reading (we started the first lesson at 9:00pm one night because she couldn’t go to bed without checking it out.) She loves the games. She wrote her first sentence by herself on the white board: “I love Pride Phonix Pride Rocs” I love it because it’s fun, engaging, and she voluntarily plays the practice games online. And I LOVE that the instruction course doesn’t treat me like I’m so stupid I can’t make a hand gesture without pausing the video to practice it. There was no droning 2 hour video session that drive me so mad I went to bed and never finished watching. Oh yeah, I also love that the key words for the letters make SENSE to a kid. Not one of my kids or myself looks at a picture of a boy and automatically thinks Eddy. I only wish we had found this sooner. It would have saved us money and SO MUCH aggravation.

I have enjoyed Pride program so far. My child is connecting so well with letters and sounds. It has been a struggle with her dyslexia- but this program has made it so easy and she enjoys it! I have 1 complaint so far, we got to letter X- and they chose a picture and word to use that does not make the x sound. So frustrating. Xylophone starts with the z sound. So we had to skip a whole section and I had to explain why. Outside of that my daughter can write and sound each letter quickly and without frustration.

I tutor two brothers in 2nd and 3rd grade. Neither knew the alphabet, sounds or sight words. They are making progress with the Pride reading program. I actually spent big money to train in another Orton Gillingham program hoping to speed things up. The strategies are similar but the boys respond better to the Pride program. They each have a “workbook” that anchors the concepts they are learning. There is a nice balance of repetition, multi-sensory and novelty to keep them engaged. Plus, the price is affordable. I think this program is just right for one-on-one tutoring. One doesn’t need intensive training, but a big dose of patience, hope and perseverance will take your student forward. I enjoy tutoring the boys and the Pride program materials make it easy.
