Editorial Review: Product Description: This user-friendly book with step by step directions gives any reader the tools to teach someone else to read. With easy to follow lesson plans, built in evaluation, and tips on how to reach students in the way they learn best, anyone can teach a child, teen or adult, an individual or group, a beginning or at-risk reader. The book's emphasis is on the important early basic skills of: *Memorizing a sight word vocabulary of words used most often, which can't be figured out by using the most commonly used phonics rules. *Using the most commonly used phonics rules to figure out words used most often, which don't need to be memorized, and obtaining a firm knowledge of how to apply those rules to future unknown words. *developing basic comprehension skills to assure that the reader understands what the words are saying. Check lists are provided for determining how the student learns best. Multiple activities and unique yarns, called "Silly Stories," and cartoon illustrations make phonic rules and sight words fun to learn and more memorable. Lists of consonant and vowel sounds, sight and phonetic words, plus rules used to figure out words are included in the Appendices. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Even an Adult Can Learn to Read!This book has been instrumental in assisting me to teach a 42 year-old to read. The guidelines are concise and allow me flexibility in the design of my reading program. Rating:  - Only good for childrenI was disappointed with this purchase. I took for 'someone' that it was directed at any age group. However, it is based on very child-based activities which are completely unsuitable for adults. Good for kids but not for anything else. Rating:  - The Very Best Book in this Genre!This gem of a book is a must for anyone who is trying to help someone else with their ability to read. It is packed with useful lists, clear diagrams, silly stories, and funny cartoons. In a time of declining reading scores, this work is filling a deep need in an entertaining way. Rating: - Reading Basics Made Easy!I am a reading tutor working with teenagers. Most of my pupils have gaps in their reading and phonics skills which have made their educational progress very difficult. This book has helped me target the areas where extra work is needed as well as giving me a good basic set of phonics rules to use in reviewing. Rating: - Roger Lakey, former School Board President, Marshalltown, IAWe are proud of Lorraine's rapid rise as a teacher of reading skills and as a teacher's teacher. Her method based on phonics and a minimum of memorization makes it practical and fun for anyone to teach others to read and to comprehend what they read. Her book is wonderfully useful for anyone, from home schoolers to professional teachers.
