Reading and Phonics explained ---------------------------------------------------------------------   The biggest problem in education continues to be millions of struggling readers.  Many public schools refuse to teach this essential skill correctly.   If everyone understood what reading is and the steps that children go through to learn to read English, half of our education problems would disappear.    On this site, see “42: Reading Resources” for a review of the whole subject.   See “54: Preemptive Reading” for suggestions on teaching young children to read. On another site, I created some short PDF booklets intended for parents, teachers, and community leaders.     "A Quick Look at How Sight-Words Harm Children" (free)     “An Introduction to Phonics” ($2.50)     Please download PDFs and email them wherever they can do some good. A PDF file is easy to attach and send.        PDF booklets (5 titles) are here: Better Ideas Mean Better Schools  http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Better-Ideas-Mean-Better-Schools
