Thank you all for your responses. I think we are getting clearer on a direction. The open and go option and having to find readers is appealing and something OPGTR doesn't offer. Just using blue and red magnetic letters along with OPGTR was a direction I was considering. I have also been plowing through the demo videos on Barton. Thank you!!

Does anyone use OPGTR with their dyslexic kids? Results? I have been using it over the last year or two- we have woven in HOPs at times and took a break from it. I am really considering AAR, but I don't want to get distracted by the "shiny new ball". It is not that OPGTR is not working, I just have been hearing such good things about AAR. But it is pricey. I think with anything we use it is a marathon not a race and there will be times where I wonder if we are getting anywhere. My son is 9 and he finished his 3rd grade year and he reads on a first-second grade level. I also have a daughter starting 1st grade this year and thought I could use for her, she does not seem to present with any learning difficulties at this point. Thank you for your feedback-

I was heavily considering AAR for this year but then got sticker shock. We have been doing a mix of HOP and OPGTR. I have blue/red letters that I could incorporate into OPGTR...My son is dyslexic and I was thinking something more tactile could be useful to integrate. Seems like one of those programs I hear so much about.
