Sure. I don't like the emphasis on nonsense words which I think confuses kids and makes them over-rely on the visual cue system over other cue systems. I don't like that you cannot move on in the program unless the child masters the skills... There is not an alternate lesson...you keep repeating the same lesson over and over until they get it. And I worry that kids that struggle will be turned off even more.?The pace is too slow and the trainer told me that it might take two years to see a child become a reader.? I can do better than that without this program. And finally, the trainer shared research about Wilson with us and I actually knew the research she was quoting... and she misquoted it, badly. I lost faith in the program from that moment. Jennifer
