Right Brain Phonics by Dianne Craft is a gentle,
multisensory phonics program specifically designed for struggling readers,
dyslexic students, and as its name implies, right-brain learners! Instead of
traditional repetitive drills, this curriculum uses color, pictures, humor, and
visual memory techniques to help children quickly grasp and retain phonics
concepts.
Perfect for children who are more than one year behind in
reading, Right Brain Phonics makes learning fun and effective by
embedding phonetic sounds into memorable images. Students benefit from daily

practice, and built-in review to build reading fluency and confidence.
