Rocket Phonics really helps kids get
ahead in reading!
In a UCLA study of 43 home-schooled students ranging in age
from 5 to 9 and reading at an early first grade level were
randomly divided into two groups — one using a standard
reading program, the other Rocket Phonics. After only three
months, the control group gained an average of 2.3 months in
grade level, while the Rocket Phonics group gained an
impressive 8.9 months in reading grade level. The more Rocket
Phonics workbook pages read by the children, the greater the
grade level gains regardless of age.

Study Summary:
According to study author Professor James S. Catterall:
"No one who did more than one lesson failed to improve his or her skill.
The average pages read was about 84 out of 111 total pages, or 75 percent of the Rocket Phonics book. There was a fairly high correlation between the number of Rocket Phonics workbook pages read and reading grade level gains and (r is 0.44). There were no significant correlations between age and reading-gains, nor between age and number of pages read. "
That's right -- every child who did more than one
Rocket Phonics lesson improved his or her reading skills.
And after just three months, Rocket Phonics kids were
over half a year ahead of their counterparts using
standard reading programs!
Proof that Rocket Phonics is by far the best system to
help your kids get ahead in the reading game.
