Hello to all at Zoo-phonics! I want to write and thank you for a wonderful product. Our son Hunter (pictured) has many disabilities that make learning very difficult. He has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, as well as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and a rare eye disorder. He was getting along socially, and is such a happy boy, but when it came to learning, he did not know the difference between letters and numbers. He could not retain anything he learned. We spent many months in different types of therapy but nothing worked. He just could not remember the alphabet or the letter sounds. I searched the web, read all sorts of books, and tried everything to help Hunter learn... nothing stuck. His teacher mentioned that she was trying a new program called Zoo-phonics.
Hunter was excited about the animals but I thought to myself, “yea whatever, just another thing...” Yes, it was another thing and it has been the BEST thing in Hunter’s life. He is learning the alphabet...He knows the sounds and HE REMEMBERS!!! There are not enough words to describe our joy. There is hope...Hunter picked up on Zoo-phonics so fast and continues to make daily progress. His teacher says he will be able to read!!! This is just amazing... We are a family of readers and I could not imagine my son not knowing the joy of reading on his own, learning about far away places. Zoo-phonics has made this possible. I can never thank you all enough. Hunter has learned the entire alphabet and is now able to associate the Zoo-phonics animals with everything he sees during the day. He told us a few days ago about the letters in our license plate and what their sounds were!! Wow...Have I said enough? By the way, your products are all wonderful. After Hunter’s success, I wanted some things at home to help retain his skills... we are having fun with everything. The Zoo-phonics Fonts are really neat because we can make coloring and fun activity pages. The stories (Zeke and His Pals) are a bedtime favorite. In closing, I will say thank you again, you created a great product, and you have forever changed one little boy’s life and given him a chance to go anywhere he chooses in life guided by 26 wonderful animal friends!!
