“Recently, our IEP team lead told me that we would need to work next on our son knowing the sounds of each letter per the document. When she went to work with him on it the next time she saw him, she couldn’t believe how well he knew them already. I was happy to tell her it’s because we’ve been doing writing 8’s for so long (8 months). Cross another goal off the IEP document! I love that we achieved that goal as a “side benefit” while working through BIT!” –Jennifer R

This week has been a week of great progress that I know you will all understand. My son just turned 7. In September, he could not recall most letters of the alphabet or their sounds. He is great at memorizing as he has the BOB books memorized however, he could not recall alphabet names or sounds. We have been doing Brain Integration Therapy from the beginning, so we are on the writing gate and my son can now recall the letter name of every letter of the alphabet, recall every sound and can put 3 letter sounds together to form words. HE IS READING!! I am so happy for my little guy.

This quote “If ‘Plan A’ didn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters. Stay cool” reminds me of something Dianne Craft says when she is teaching on Right Brain techniques. If “Plan A” (which is Left Brain curriculum) isn’t working, then try Plan B (Right Brain stuff)! Let me tell you, we are loving Plan B when A doesn’t work! It’s FANTASTIC! What joy there is in knowing ways to help your kids learn no matter what their style or Brain Dominance is! It’s opened up the world of learning at our house, and we are so thankful and having so much more fun! Thank you Dianne Craft!

We started in November of last year. Prior to BIT he HATED reading and had never read a chapter book on his own.In January alone he read 9 chapter books in a series and is currently in book 11!!! He BEGS to read them…takes them on car rides..,reads before bedtime and even when he should be sleeping!!!! I believe BIT and omega3 helped him the most. He is also back to writing stories…page after page off the top of his head!! His reading is becoming so much more fluent and he is not skipping lines like he used to so I know the exercises have helped strengthen his eyes as well. Very thankful for this system and support.   -Tamara

I have a success story, and we’ve only been doing BIT for 2 weeks. My son is in 7.5 and in beginning swimming lessons since last April. He can do the kicking, but it has looked “awkward” and like he has to move his whole body to make his legs alternate kicking. Even his shoulders and head would go back and forth. Last week, after a week of the exercises, he was not moving his body near as much and his kicking looked significantly smoother and more natural!     -Marika

Watching my student’s face light up today as he read 21 sight words was an amazing feeling! He could only read 2 words a couple weeks ago. I’ve never seen such rapid progress in a short amount of time. This program works!

Some amazing news that had me chocked up and tears filled my eyes, yesterday after we finished reading for 10 min my son asked if he could continue to read, never has that happened- I think he is beginning to enjoy reading!! Thank you Dianne for your phonics program and “boring little books” that really do work!

My daughter wrote mirror image backwards and was over two years behind in reading. She now writes all words correctly and is at grade level in reading. My son used to write all his letters from the end to the beginning. He now writes them all correctly 😉 So thankful to have learned that BIT corrects these issues and so much more!      -Angela

I did not think we would ever be able to tell a b from d. Finally we recently got there! This works, keep it up!” -Josie

We started the program last week, and this is the first paragraph our 9y/o daughter has written…. ever. The first time she’s written on notebook paper and stayed in the lines. The first time she’s written and not had to go back and correct letter reversals! Excited at the progress. The best part is the boost her confidence has received. Thank you, Dianne Craft!
