Beginning Reading and Writing Textbook and Parent/Teacher Manual. Words are introduced in families, and the text, which is in the form of open-ended questions, is all phonetically regular, which means that the words all sound like they're spelled. One page builds on another so this is implicit, explicit, progressive phonics in the style of Whole Language. There are no blanks to fill in a missing letter. Students actually learn to write first and then read what they wrote as the two are taught really at the same time. Learn why it's better to just use letter sounds instead of letter names, and the importance of proper penmanship posture. The book also comes with a free hotline number to get advice or further information on the method. It is so easy to do, in the form of a few simple games that children can teach it to other children. Parents can tutor with it while cooking, washing dishes or sweeping the floor and no one has to sit down. I developed this text over my 27 years as a teacher of grades Pre-k-3rd and found it to be an invaluable resource in my classroom and for sharing with parents and other teachers.
