I have 2 children who are in enrolled in The Ten Minute Tutor (TTMT). Their ages are 8. They are identical twins. We\u2019ve only been doing the program for a very short time. Maybe about a month.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;\">What I love about this program is that so far, it\u2019s been very empowering to the girls. Not just them, but for me too. We only recently, found out that they are dyslexic. For a while, they had just been feeling like they were dumb.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;\">Dyslexia used to define them and now it\u2019s not what defines them. It\u2019s just part of who they are. It\u2019s not what they are. It\u2019s been such a huge confidence builder for them, to see that there are all of these successful people out there that had trouble in school. One of the first interviews they watched was of Lucas Haynes and he\u2019s an aspiring actor. He\u2019s such a young child and he has severe dyslexia and he is still able to go through school and focus on the things that he loves to do. He\u2019s obviously very creative and that\u2019s wonderful.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;\">It\u2019s been such a confidence builder to them. We used to have days where we would have crying and lots of sadness and sorrow because we couldn\u2019t read as well as other children, even other children in the family. It was really hard to see them struggle through that. The Ten Minute Tutor has given them more confidence like, \u2018okay, I have dyslexia, so big deal.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t like that before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;\">I know they are only 8, but we have tried other curriculums, even curriculums specifically for dyslexia. You know, not to treat dyslexia, but for dyslexics. The sitting is anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes, the phonics drills and trying to learn the rules and all of the letter sounds and then you\u2019d have to read for a certain period of time and then be read to for a certain period of time &#8211; We still do some of that on our own, but it was built into the curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;\">So, The Ten Minute Tutor is really refreshing, these videos; the way they are laid out. They love Ms. Liz. They look forward to it. I don\u2019t have to tell them to do The Ten Minute Tutor like I have to with other subjects, they just know. They get up in the morning and it\u2019s one of the very first things they do. The bite sized pieces of what they\u2019ve learned so far, you know, the phonics side of things, it\u2019s really nice. I know that they are learning and they are learning in a format that they are enjoying, so it\u2019s really made just perfectly for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;\">I can only speak from my limited experience so far and my experience with fairly young children, I love it. I just really feel like I was led to try this. I have spent a lot of money on other curriculum and it just never turned out to be something for them. That\u2019s my take on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;\">So anyway, one other thing I wanted to say about The Ten Minute Tutor is that Liz\u2019s approach; The Ten Minute Tutor\u2019s approach to teaching phonics is different. It\u2019s completely different from anything that I\u2019ve ever seen that\u2019s out there and I\u2019ve researched a lot of different programs and curriculum and that is what I was drawn to. Dyslexics, they learn differently. Their brains are wired differently and they need a different approach to learning. Liz gives them that. She doesn\u2019t just drill them with the rules, they are just integrated into the program, because they need to learn those as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;\">I guess my final thought on this, is hope for the future is finally here. I do believe that my children can progress. I don\u2019t know how quickly they will progress but I do believe that The Ten Minute Tutor is going to be an integral part of that. I have 5 children that I home-school. Three 8 year olds, I have a 10 year old and I have a 12 year and they all stop when The Ten Minute Tutor videos are on and they watch. They watch them all. They love them. It\u2019s just that engaging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px;\">I do feel like there is hope. Anybody out that that is thinking about researching curriculums for dyslexics, I very much encourage you to give this a try. It\u2019s definitely worth the money. One of the biggest investments you\u2019ll ever make is in your children\u2019s future especially when you have more of a special needs situation in your home. You want to give them every tool to succeed, but you don\u2019t want to overwhelm them at the same time. I believe that The Ten Minute Tutor is just that perfect balance for that. Those are my final thoughts.<\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dyslexiadaily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lpsig.png\" alt=\"lpsig\" width=\"250\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dyslexiadaily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lpsig.png 823w, https:\/\/www.dyslexiadaily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lpsig-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dyslexiadaily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lpsig-150x53.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<center><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/239376922?title=0&#038;byline=0&#038;portrait=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"482\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n\n<p><center><span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-family: Arial; line-height: 32px; margin-top: 15px\">To Learn More About The Ten Minute Tutor You Can Watch A Webinar Here<\/span><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dyslexiadaily.com\/webinar\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dyslexiadaily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/banner-dark.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" \/><\/a><\/center><center><span style=\"font-size: 130%; line-height: 1.5 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dyslexiadaily.com\/webinar\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #fe0000;\"><strong>Click here to register for the FREE webinar<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/center><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Now my twins have so much more confidence, it\u2019s like: okay I have dyslexia, so big deal&#46;&#8221; My name is Lisa Pedersen.
