Synopsis

This book revolutionizes how English is taught to children. It's based on one of the most important discoveries in the history of literacy: that there is a direct link between success in reading and children's ability to link the sounds of the language with its visual representation in the form of letters. This book teaches children to read by: 1. First teaching them to analyze the sounds they speak into their component sounds. 2. Then showing them how the elements they speak are linked to their written form in a way which makes sense. In this way, children will not only learn how to read, but they will also learn an important lesson in how language works.
