Here is the alternative to phonics and whole language, a new approach to literacy teaching stressing writing before reading. For home schoolers and tutors of adults this is an organized, one-source reference and instruction book. Nine chapters and 32 tables cover in detail the alphabet, the phonetic code of 35 sounds in English words, 200 spelling patterns, over 300 prefixes and suffixes and a grammar course. Written in an explanatory style with many aides and insights. Requires minimum memorization by the student.
