Lexia Reading Core 5 is a wonderful, fun, interesting, and educational method to teach reading personally to your student.  It uses technology with interesting and encouraging lessons.  Rules are reinforced.  My student came to me with excitement after discovering the two different sounds of “c” in different contexts.  This is something I have been teaching him for years, but this program helped him get it.  Today, one syllable words were introduced that had double consonant endings (f,l,s, and z) when preceded by a short vowel as in the word “shell”.  This program is designed to enable the child to learn independently.  The program may be purchased individually or schoolwide.  Check it out.
