This is the one learn-to-read system I recommend. Absolutely the best, easiest to use, and most effective phonics book that i've seen. Great for homeschoolers, reading groups, remediation, or any non- reader. I've taught our 8 children, a niece, and a grandson. Will be starting our granddaughter soon. I've carried the principles and mnemonics into remedial 2nd grade reading groups, where all students showed progress in only 4 weeks.
