Excerpts from a few of the hundreds of letters of praise sent from people teaching reading at home:
"Before toe-by-toe, I was living in a deep dark hole. Everyone
else understood things and I didn't. When I was given the book, I
felt a rope ladder had been thrown down to me. It didn't have any
rungs... I had to build them myself and that has taken time.
Now I feel I'm near the top and I can see daylight. I feel sorry
for anyone stuck at the bottom."
Edward Charlton (aged 10), Nantwich, Cheshire
“I would like to thank you, Mrs Cowling, for producing this wonderful book...”
Sharon Watson (Parent), DL1 UE
“I am now a total addict of Toe by Toe…I have been working with Toe
by Toe for over a year and have seen the amazing results not only in reading
ability and improved fluency but also in the child’s confidence.”
Jane Carleton-Glenn (Specialist teacher, 76139 Karlsruhe,
Germany)
"This book has been tremendous, there has been
a great improvement in my son's confidence and also his reading ability.
An extremely clever and structured book for dyslexic children, a vital
reading tool that should be available in all schools."
From: Caroline Duggan (Parent) Hereford
HR4 0SD
"My only criticism of Toe By Toe is that it was not available
four years ago when my son began to fail. If it had been available,
my son would not have had to suffer the effects of ignorance, denial of
developing literacy, and sheer neglect of his obvious dyslexic problems.
This book should be promoted so that every parent and teacher should know
of its existence. No child should have to suffer as Scott did..."
From: Brenda Fieldsend (parent) , Barnsley
S71 3NJ
"I like the highly structured progression - especially the 3
ticks. This is an excellent manual for parents willing to devote
just 20 minutes per day. The system is clear, logical and simple
to administer."
From: Karen Tiffany (parent), Shipley,
W. Yorks. BD18 2JX
"My son’s improvement (in reading and writing) is due to your
wonderful book. He is now again a happy, chatty, delightful child
obsessed with acquiring knowledge. It has truly saved our son from
a school life of feeling inadequate and fearful - you have given him back
his future and us our son"
From: Sarah Price (parent), Ashford, Kent TN24

"I am finding Toe By Toe brilliant. It is making
my child’s progress much easier and boosting her confidence. She
has come on in leaps and bounds since starting it and seems to be enjoying
reading much more."
From: Erica Fyle, Somerset BA4 4ET
"...I cannot believe the difference Toe By Toe has made
to my son’s reading. He is now a fluent, confident reader and every
signpost we go past he tries to read. So different from a year ago
when he was struggling to read anything. So, an enormous THANK YOU
- I don’t know where we would have been without it"
From: Liz Gartside, Hove BN3 4QQ
"It is so good to be able to tell a child, ‘By the time you finish
Toe
By Toe you will be able to read anything’..."
From: Helen Albans (Private tutor), Sheffield
S10 5PQ
"This book has been a godsend and the best bit is that my son
enjoys using it. In the past he has shied away from books and now
he enjoys them and is making great progress"
From: Mrs. J. Ward (parent), Clydebank,G81 6LJ
"My son has been working on Toe by Toe for the last two
terms...He now has a reading accuracy of 10.02 (it was 7.08) and a reading
comprehension of 12.06 (previously it was 8.00). I would just like
to pass on my thanks to you and everyone concerned in the production of
this book that has given my son the chance to access the normal school
curriculum and increase his self confidence to an amazing degree."
From: Christine Wilson, Surrey GU16 6PN
