Chapter 1
How can I help my child learn to read?
This question has repeated itself hundreds of times during my professional career. Every parent wants to see their child achieve success, not only in school, but also in life. The truth is that it is absolutely imperative that a child becomes a proficient reader to have the capacity to be a capable student. The link between academic success and being able to function proficiently in the real world is no secret. The actual mystery for many families and even some educators is how to take a wiggly young child and somehow direct them to glean meaning from 52 characters arranged into words.

I was supposed to be instructing. I was then that I reached out to my colleagues for help. Thankfully, I was blessed to have a talented array of fellow teachers who were willing and able to listen to my panicked ineptitude and offer me meaningful tidbits of actual instructional techniques that I could apply, and I was able to salvage the wreckage of that horrible first week.
Over the years, I have taught hundreds of children reading. I have learned many techniques, and I have worked with an
