About the program

The program is based on a common-sense approach to reading using a structured and cumulative phonic system of word patterns. Irregular words that occur in the English language are gradually introduced and the students are taught to decode longer multisyllabic words as the reading series progresses.

The book is an invaluable resource for use within the context of the regular classroom and in working with those children and adults who are dyslexic.
