There are many Johnnys in this country who cannot read because – well – they were never taught how to read.

Yes, they went to school.

Yes, they went through the school’s reading program.

However, that doesn’t mean that those little Johnnys were taught how to read. In fact, for thousands of American school children, the reading classes they have received have not taught them how to read.

The word “read” is the key issue here. By read, I mean that a child can start at the beginning of a word and sound out the word from left to right. He can blend together, from left to read, ALL the sounds in the word. If a child has not been taught how to do that, then that child has not been taught how to read.

Sight reading is NOT reading. Figuring out what a word is by the first letter of the word or by the picture on the page or by memorizing the word from a word wall is not learning to read.

A child should not have to put together a set of clues in order to “figure out” what a word is. A child should be able to read through a word by blending together all the sounds in that word from left to right. Moms and Dads, don’t settle for clues and guessing when your child CAN LEARN to actually “read.”

Here is a TRUE STORY. There was once a little girl who lived back in 1956 named Candy. Soon after beginning her first grade reading classes, Candy's mother was told that Candy was struggling terribly in read. Candy was recommended for special reading classes that met in a little white cottage behind Candy's school building. Today, Candy can read every word on the page.

What happened?
Candy learned to read using a systematic 4WAY Phonics Program.
Parents, your child can now learn to read using that same 4WAY Phonics Program
It's that same program that taught little candy to read.
It's been updated for today's parents and children.
It’s a 4WAY Phonics Program Program that’s affordable, it’s written specifically for parents, it’s parent/friendly, and IT WORKS!

Parents, When it comes to your child's reading education, don’t settle for clues and guessing.
Your child deserves more!
