Turn Your Child into a Great Reader!

Are you concerned about your child's reading
ability? Does your child hate to read? If so, you are not alone. In fact, 38 percent
of American fourth graders are unable to read at a basic level. But now you can turn
your nonreader child into a reading star-in just a few short weeks.

Based on research
done at Yale, this simple yet revolutionary guide merges the three essential elements
of reading instruction: auditory training, phonics, and whole language. Inside, teachers
and parents will find easy-to-read cartoons, games, and fun phonic sheets that will
help almost any child read at or above grade level. Reading expert Peggy Wilber will
show you how to help your child develop better fluency, language skills, and comprehension.
You'll learn how to:

Determine your child's specific reading needs
Help your child
develop comprehension strategies
Enhance your child's phonic skills

reading selections at the right level for your child
And much more!
