What others are saying about Hands-On English with Linking Blocks^TM

I have never had a clear understanding of English grammar until now! My son recently had the opportunity to learn grammar using “Linking Blocks” and I was able to learn along with him. The “Linking Blocks” program has brought me past rote memorization to grasping the how and why behind grammar by taking abstract language concepts and turning them into 3-dimensional forms. By using manipulatives and color associations, I could actually see the role of each part of speech and its relationship with the other parts. I can finally say, “I get it!” I am so thankful for the “Linking Blocks” program and for the opportunity that my son has also had to learn from it. Now he does not have to wait till he is an adult to be able to say, “I get it!”

For our family, the ‘Hands on English with Linking Blocks’ program has been such a blessing! I wish that I could have learned English grammar and sentence diagramming with this program when I was in school! The linking blocks bring the sentences to life and make learning sentence structure visual, instead of just an exercise in memorization. Using this program with our children has given me the chance to see them excited about a subject that I viewed as mundane. They truly understand how and why sentences are built the way they are.

The other benefit is that I’m learning (or re-learning!) right alongside our children. They see my excitement about learning and what a great example it is for them to witness! It demonstrates that we’re never too old to grow in knowledge and wisdom!”

Sincerely,

The Hands-on English with Linking Blocks multi-sensory and incrementally progressive approach using both color and dimension was instantly successful. By the second class my son said, “Mom, I get this. I really get this!” By the second paragraph assignment he said, “This could almost be fun!” The Hands-on English with Linking Blocks program is designed to fit all learning styles, but for my son, with his even more unique learning style, it is a must, a true Godsend.

We’ve been using the blocks for a long time now, and they are a valuable resource for our students. Thank you for developing such a durable and effective product.

We are going strong in the Linking Blocks. This is all stuff that we have looked at all year but hasn’t sunk in through the regular method of teaching. Using the Linking Blocks strips the theory down to the bones and lets my 6th grader see the concepts. He is getting it and… choses the Linking Blocks for the first class in the morning. He is happy with the system.

I believe that your program can be a game-changer for many kids. I used your program with my older son first. He made crazy, insane progress after failing to make any progress for many years in public school and after a year of [another program], which was a failure too. The actual physical blocks made such a difference for my older son. With my younger son, I didn’t waste time with anything else… straight to Linking Blocks and he seemed to grasp the concepts easily and well. His post test was 95%.

I am a private dyslexia tutor and tutor trainer in Indiana. I have been helping students for 25 years. We have used Linking Blocks for many years to help students with grammar and expressive writing. The color-coding system is so much more graphic for our students as opposed to traditional ways that teach grammar.

Over many years, my four children have had the privilege of taking the Hands-On Linking Blocks course… . My children came into the class with vastly different strengths and weaknesses; however, they all profited from this course. Each one came out with a greater understanding of the English language and improved writers. I have seen firsthand the benefits of this course and would highly recommend it.
