Nessy Learning Platform

[meboo]

I am considering purchasing this to help my 9year old dyslexic son. Does anyone have any experience of it as it is a lot of money if it's no good.

I am using it with 2 kids I support at school (with asd and literacy difficulties not dyslexia) and its fab! Really motivating, loads of games and you can tailor it to your child's specific needs. We have been using it for 1 week and i have seen marked improvements in their reading and spelling outside of nessy. I obviously haven't had to buy it though! How much is it? Could you persuade school to buy it? It doesn't deal with sentence level work though, just word level, so I am also using a programme called acceleread, accelewrite ( also designed for children with dyslexia).

All it is is a 'learn to read' program.

It won't help whatever's causing him to struggle to learn to read in the first place.....

I have spent a lot of time and energy on various learn to read programs. All of it wasted.

I have the nessy home program, but not the full school version.

I guess what I'm saying is it depends how well your child has been taught so far.

Do you really think he's been taught badly, and teaching him better is the answer?
