The Great Reading Disaster

Reclaiming Our Educational Birthright

By: Mona McNee

By the late 1980s half the nation's children were receiving eleven years of progressivist schooling that failed to give them even the elementary basis of education that was completed by the age of seven in earlier days. This great reading disaster was caused by the ‘look–say' method of teaching, which presented whole words not individual letters. This book explains the causes and provides the solution to this problem. In 2006, the Secretary of State for Education and Skills has ordered schools to use the phonic method but there seems little evidence that its implications are properly understood or that any serious re-training programme for teachers is being put in place. The authors believe their explanations and recommendations in this book are thus needed just as much as ever.

Teach Your Child to Read with Phonics

By: Mona McNee

Over the last couple of decades, too many children have been held back from reading by the use of 'look and say' methods of teaching. Finally the 'experts' recognise that the only way to improve literacy standards is a return to a structured, phonic method. Mona McNee's concern with literacy began when, having seen her own son fail with professional teaching, she found that, with no training, but relying on a phonic scheme, she could teach him herself. She later became a remedial teacher at a middle school and taught hundreds of dyslexic children to read. You too can teach your own child to read. Start at the beginning with letters and sounds and see how easy it is to sound out and blend the sounds into a word. You just need common sense and a Systematic, Intensive, Multi-sensory, Parent-friendly, Logical and Easy programme to teach how to read and spell the right way.
