'This software has had dramatic results. My student simply can't
believe that he can be learning so quickly, and now arrives
half-an-hour early, and has asked to stay an hour over his lesson
time. This is the first time that he has ever been able to remember
spellings - ever. I have had to force him to take breaks each
half-hour because he was so adamant that he would complete each
module more quickly then anyone else. His progress has been amazing.
I did not at first believe this because I thought that as a dyslexic
he would probably remember his spellings one week but then forget
them after a break, but I have just re-tested him on the modules he
covered before the half-term break (three weeks ago) and in a
spelling test of sixty words, he got all of them correct without any
chance to mug up beforehand', J. W., UK.
