Learning phonics in the traditional way can be frustrating for a child learning to read. It can be difficult for them to wrap their head around the sounds and parts of words, especially when so many letters and combinations of letters make more than one sound. Worse still, in beginning reading, half the words can’t even be sounded out. How do you sound out “where”? “Were”? Phonics is very abstract, and can create a hesitant and disconnected reading style. For a child who has trouble with sounding words out, reading becomes an exercise in frustration and disappointment. At the Dicker Reading Method, our Dicker Reading Method phonics tutoring program teaches phonics naturally through our exclusive phonetics technique.
We have developed an exclusive phonics/decoding technique in which your child will learn five new words and their parts in one minute, naturally. Through this technique your child will become totally focused, concentrated, and “in the zone”, and will be exposed to 76 to 152 repetitions, learning to read the five words fluently. When your child sees the words in a story or sentence, they will recognize them and be able to read the story or sentence fluently. Our method takes the struggle out of learning phonics, and makes reading fun again.
When your student feels confident in their ability to write, feels familiar and comfortable with words and their parts, it will open doors both in school and out, removing the pain and struggle from their school career.
My son really enjoys coming here. It is a popular program - I see a lot of students from my school district (a well respected one). The tutors are all very engaging. My son doesn’t mind coming for 2 hours.
Parents if your child struggles with the ability to read your MUST come here. Our 7 year old son Chris had no ability to read, I mean ZERO. A friend suggested we come to the Dicker Reading Method and I was skeptical. I mean we tried it all (or so I thought!). 2 weeks ago we did an evaluation with “Big Al” aka Al Dicker the owner and founder of this amazing program. In 2 weeks of working with the amazing tutors on staff here our son is READING WORDS!! it is nothing short of miraculous! Chris is changing, this has given him confidence that we have never seen and he has a bright smile when he reads his words to us at home. Thank you Al, Debbie, Maddie, Theresa and Allie. I hope you know what a gift you are giving our family. In 2 weeks we see such changes and we are excited to see what the future holds for our son and his ability to read. Yay!!
We are so thankful for Al Dicker and the tutors at Dicker Reading Method (who are all amazing). Our 7 year old daughter hated reading and was reading well below average as a 1st grader. She was struggling so much we thought she would fail first grade. From her 1st session with Debbie we noticed an improvement. In just a few weeks of tutoring sessions she insisted on buying a chapter book (with no pictures!!) and finished it! She is on her second book and telling friends at school and family how much she loves to read and how wonderful books are. What an amazing change. Thank you Al and team for giving her the encouragement and tools she needs to enjoy reading!
This is our second session. Aaron is 5 years old and in 1st grade who is easily distracted. This is our 3rd reading program. Nothing seemed to work. But once, I saw Aaron reading and focused, my husband and I were impressed on his first session. He was confident and enjoying himself. He was happy and enjoyed his his tutor, Brianna.We recommend this program and will continue to bring Aaron back. It was a miracle as his reading at home has improved. Even he's teachers see a difference!
