First Focus Learning Systems

We began with First Focus reading system ~ 2 weeks ago with our first grader. It has been life changing. We went from reading (with difficulty) only CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words to words like «hair» in just one session. The results are astonishing. From the first day she was able to motivate and keep ahead of a very resistant, reluctant learner with definite attention issues. We are talking resistance like screaming and running out of the room anytime he was asked to read or write (I wish I was exaggerating). The First Focus system is totally logical and uses little songs and rhymes that teach the children the rules. It really sticks. It builds concept on concept and is set up so the child can’t fail, very motivating. We have gone about 6 or 7 times and already just last night he actually read me every word of three of the First Focus books, one right after the other. I mean every word. And he has read over 15 of them to me. I highly recommend for students struggling in reading or writing and for students with learning differences.

Now in Mountain View at El camino and El Monte, next to the CVS shopping center.
My 3 year old started reading long vowel words after a few sessions. Teacher Candice doesn’t come across like your typical warm and fuzzy preschool teacher and my daughter respects her and likes her. Of all the preschool level activities we’ve tried, First Focus is the most fun according to my daughter. I observe that she’s more confident and engaged here than in any other type of class. Strange, there’s homework and she wants to do it.
It’s expensive so if you are already doing preschool, the cost might be prohibitive. But if you child is begging to read, this is the place. I spent 6 months trying to make learning the alphabet fun for my child but I didn’t succeed. After First Focus, my daughter thinks reading is just fun and games.
