ASD Reading review

We received a free one-year premium membership to ASDReading.com to try it and review. As the name implies, ASDReading.com is a website designed to help children on the autism spectrum learn to read. It also teaches typing skills, which is a nice bonus. I thought this program would be great to try with Zach as he is still not reading, or at least I don't think he is. It's hard to tell sometimes with a non-verbal child. The lessons are broken down into little, bitesized games perfect for kids who have trouble focusing. Zach has a lot of trouble sitting down and focusing on things, especially during summer break as things get considerably more unstructured in the summer. That said, I did try, and have my sister try, to get Zach to sit down and play the games. He would sit for a while and watch, but he wouldn't interact and when we tried to encourage him to interact he would often get agitated and want to leave the room. We will continue to work with Zach using this program, and hopefully we will get more success as we progress and this becomes part of his routine. I think this would work great for most autistic kids once theyt grow accustomed to it being part of the routine. I think for Zach and other kids like him, this program would be best implemented in the more structured setting of a classroom and I will be mentioning it to the teachers at his school this year.

For children not on the autism spectrum, ASDReading.com has a sister site called Reading Kingdom which uses a similar style of games to teach reading skills.
