Rating: Summary: This book helped me find the right help Review: Within the covers of this book is a gem of a concept. Children learning to read often need to break the language down into identifiable sounds and rhythums. Some of us are more visual learners, others are more auditory or tactile sensitive. The concepts in this book discuss an incorporation of the senses into understanding the phonemic building blocks of the English language.For implementing these astonishing methods of learning to read - I most higly recommend: "Reading Reflex: The Foolproof Phono-Graphix Method for Teaching Your Child to Read" by Carmen McGuinness. The "Reading Reflex" method is exceptionally well laid out and is self-contained; includes everything you need to begin to teach a child to learn to read form the bottom up. If you are interested in understanding the concepts read "Why Our Children Can't Read and What We Can Do About It" but if you want to just get right down to business with your child simply get the "Reading Reflex" book, skip the explanations as to "why" and "why not" and just get started.
