Comments by Parents:

– – – “My child reads so slowly and forgets words so he hates reading. But after using the ideas in this book he’s faster and even asks me to read instead of having fights about reading.” (a mother from Missouri)

– – – “Now that I’ve learned how to use the techniques in Now Johnny CAN Learn to Read, my children don’t need as much individual attention. I have a kindergartener, a third grader and a ninth grader. By using the ideas in this little book, my time is not so divided. Sometimes we all read the same text together. All the kids are really reading and learning at the same time.” (a parent in Virginia)  

 

Comments by Teachers:

– – – “My seventh graders never used to pay attention when we read social studies until we started using PEER QUESTIONING, one of the five strategies in this book. Now even the poor readers are really thinking because they like interacting about the content. I also use ORAL READING PARTICIPATION and it helps keep everyone on task. With RIDDLING the weakest students can figure out new words while the stronger students are thinking of meaning clues. Now my classroom is much more engaged in learning.” (a teacher in Indiana)  

– – – “I have so many different reading levels in my fifth grade class. It’s a real help to use ORP, CLOZING BLANKS & RIDDLING and everyone is much happier learning. The READ-SPELL-READ Games have advanced the weakest students so they can follow the text.” (an ESL teacher in California)
