"What
I like the most about this program—beyond the education
I am getting and passing on to my daughter—is that I
don't have to spend more money and time on separate
books for penmanship, spelling, grammar, composition and
reading curriculum. Everything I
need is in The Madsen Method."

"With
our busy lifestyle, I really needed a program that was
all ready to go.
This program does this for me. I don't have to
worry about planning curriculum. The Madsen
Method gives easy-to-understand scripted directions on
what to do and how to do it."

"I
was really thrilled today when my sixteen-year-old
student said, ‘You have no idea how much this has helped
me.' He
reports that he used to hate books but now reads almost
every night before he goes to bed."

"Hill
School has
multi-age classrooms with learning levels across the
board but The Madsen Method program by Sharon Madsen
reaches them all!
The kids love the good feeling of accomplishment
and success, step-by-step, through the program. Parents love the
great listening, handwriting, reading and spelling
skills that result. Our teachers
love knowing where their students are and how they need
to help them succeed-no matter the level. The Madsen
Method is a lifesaver for our school."
Janet
Oliver Minnetonka,
MN
"The
directions are very clear which makes it easy to teach
and easy for students to learn."
Janet
Brenaman Fergus Falls,

"Some
of the benefits of this program for me are: 1) the
program is sequentially organized; and 2) anyone can
pick it up and easily teach it to a
student"

“The
Madsen Method is cool because you can spell words like
‘pizza’ all by yourself!”

“The
Back-up System of Learning that is employed by
The Madsen Method remedied the distraction issue for one
of my children that had been labeled ADHD. Also, as an
added bonus, this Method put my children and me into an
instant respectful teacher-student
relationship.”

Dear Sharon & Joe,
Our children's names are Andrianna (11 years), Vicente (8 years), and Ermelinda (3 years). Of course, there's also us, Brad & Judy, but we won't mention ages! We've now been using the Madsen Method three years, and it is every bit as good as advertised. (Brad)
Thank you again for all of your hard work and your supporting ministry to families such as ours that are in the thick of homeschooling now. We thank God daily for you both, and keep you constantly in our prayers. May our Lord continue to richly bless you and your family. You are such a blessing to us.
I'm going to use Part One books to demonstrate "The Madsen Method" with the help of my son Vicente - what a wonderful visual aid he is in assisting me.
Thank you so much for the support you haven given to Gina, her son Paden and also daughter Emma.
Thank you for the Mother's day card, I received through e-mail. How lovely! I play it over again once a week. (Judy)

“The
Dear Sharon,
We have finished our second school year using the Madsen Method. Good things are happening and one of the best things is that 15-year-old Daniel is showing proficiency with his language skills. Daniel humbly said to me, with a sense of gratitude, which he can tell he is spelling better and reading better. He isn't trying to remember memorized words. He owns the phonogram knowledge and the words we have studied; it doesn't fade or melt away. He was a little chagrinned at the resistance he put up at times about following all the say and dos, and the introductory and automatic way of learning words before we got to the totally automatic way of studying.
I've told him that the introductory times are the most important of all, to lay down the cement of knowledge into his brain correctly the first time.
Anytime there is a pause or hesitation, Daniel has submitted to simply considering his options with me, instead of guessing. He does feel more at peace and out from under the pressure of performing the impossible task of memorizing zillions of alphabet letter arrangements.
I have faithfully followed a large number of various language arts programs and none of them created proficiency in my students. They all created a sense of failure for my child and for me as the teacher when after all the drill, games, and worksheets, guessing still ruled. I felt fear of not being able to equip my children for a productive life of service. After 18 years of searching and trying one method after another, our family has been so blessed to find truth in learning. I also apply these principles to other areas of learning and what a difference we are all noticing in results of our endeavors.
Victoria, five yrs., is happy with her phonogram knowledge from Sections 1-4. She likes her bar graphs, self-evaluating, and staying on checkpoints.
Lydia, eight yrs., and Cary, eleven yrs., do their English lessons together. It works just fine. They enjoy kinesthetic anchoring, Base Boss games and Poet's Privilege.
Wilford, 12 yrs., is happy and satisfied in his writing and is reading a lot.
I am so thankful to be using a method that truly works. Thank you for all your dedication in writing this to be parent-friendly and affordable.
Sincerely,
Jenny C, UT
