This book is a quick read and a must read for anyone who loves his child and wants to give him the gift of a life-long love of learning. Don't let your kids be taught the wrong way and wind up hating reading. Let them become decoders early in life (i.e. age 5) and by age 7 they will be able to decode anything and read with enjoyment the literature two grade levels above their own. I've taught three sons how to read with a strict phonics method and have third graders reading and enjoying 5th and 6th grade level books. My kindergartener will enter 1st grade with a solid 2nd grade reading level. Don't delay: it's simply, fun and the best thing you can give your kids. Use this book and Siegfried Engelmann's Teach your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. DO IT.

Format:Paperback
"Why Johnny Can't Read" is the "bible" of the phonics movement -- the book that started the "reading wars." In this classic expose, Rudolph Flesch reveals that since the 1920's, phonics instruction (sounding out words) has been absent from most U.S. classrooms. Because students are taught to guess instead of sound out words, Johnny and millions of other children over the decades can't read. He includes a basic phonics primer in the book, which will help you teach your child to read.

I taught my four year son to read using Flesh's book in 15 minutes a day. I now teach prison inmates to read using a computer program that utilizes the same principles Flesch used. This is a book that changed my life and I'm sure many students in this country read only because Flesch wrote this book.
