What is true is that Words follow one another from left to right or top to bottom. We should teach the alphabet before we teach reading and spelling. Dyslexics will learn better if they learn to read and spell AS not after they learn the alphabet in a very slow systematic multi-sensory manner. Whatever phonics is necessary to be taught should be taught in the first two grades. After that, phonics need not be taught.
Children learn to read in the first two grades and then read to learn after that time.
Learning to read is a continuum. The phonics taught or caught in the first two grades is insufficient to allow a dyslexic in the third grade to read the word insufficient . Back to our Mission Statement. We are also looking for a publisher who is interested in making a lot of money and in the process helping millions of children learn to read. All donations are greatly appreciated.
