A comprehensive reading guide that goes beyond the standard phonicsmethod. According to the author, a remarkable 40% of children havedifficulty learning to read. The main problem, says Blank, is thatmost methods only cover one or two of the six essential readingskills, which make up her Phonics Plus Five system--restassured, however, this is no flash-in-the-pan quick fix, Blank hasover 40 years of experience in child psychology. After discussingthe causes of the failures, she outlines the six skills ofreading--sequencing (letter order), writing (letter creation),phonology (sounds), semantics (meanings), syntax (grammar) and text(books)--and offers in-depth treatment for each one. Shemaintains an even, simple tone throughout, encouraging readers tosee the process through a child's eye--with countlessfun activities, word lists, sample content and pictures. An invaluable resource for all child educators. --2005 KirkusReviews"A new model for teaching reading--one that opens up all kindsof possibilities for children." --Paul Orfalea, Kinko's founder and chairperson emeritus "This simple, straightforward, and time-tested approach and callto action should be treasured but above all heeded." --Jeffrey A.
