Another is a list of several success stories from teachers in our public schools in Indiana. Finally, we have several other things from parents. One of them is from Diane and Bill Walters, who talk about the never-ending story of trying to get Justin, their son, to be able to read, and several statements that were prepared for the interim study committee in the Indiana State Senate, one from Ms. Diane Badgley, another came from Peggy Schafir, another from Susan Warner. All of these parents and teachers talk about the success of phonics for their children. That is what we are talking about today, is the children of America and how we can help them learn to read.
Children apply phonics rules to gain the approximate pronunciations of written words.
After this, they usually can infer the normal pronunciations. The child first perceives the individual letters in a word, e.g., rat. All donations are greatly appreciated. Please feel free to copy and distribute any information on this site giving credit to The National Right to Read Foundation.
