foxbridgeacademy Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 So I've been following nukesmoms post about her 11 year old's reading issues. I also have an 11 year old who is a slow reader (he is dyslexic) and I was wondering if the Rewards program mentioned might work for him? He has some mirror word issues (reading saw and was, who and how, ect...) he also is having trouble with bigger words. Where can I find the Rewards workbooks (other then Sopris) and do I need the Teachers Edition ($94!!!)? I know this is not the exact sub-forum for this question but it is where all the suggestions came from, hoping thats okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyBC Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 REWARDS helped my then-11yo with decoding larger words and with fluency. You do need the Teacher's Guide. You might find a used copy, or at least know that you can probably sell yours when you are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thank you, I was afraid the TG would be required. It's a lot to pay for something I can't physically look through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 You do need the Teacher's Guide, the program just can't be taught without it. I don't think I've seen better pricing than Sopris either. Rewards is great for teaching strategies of how to break down bigger words, however, it did not do much for fluency here. So, I think it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Your right FairProspects, Used TG(alibris. Amazon, Abebooks) is more then New from Sopris. What I'm looking to do is help son to be able to read faster. It takes him so long to get through a few sentences, he forgets what he's just read. Most of the issues are due to his LD but I would think that if he could decode some of the bigger word quicker it might help his comprehension.
