Abstract:
An invaluable tool for increasing reading speed and comprehension for those who are self-motivated, written by an author who's self-educated in every sense of the word. This workbook was born one brain-stormy night in a reading improvement class. The author observed that, for adults, some of material was too difficult. Yet children's material involving phonics and reading was too limiting. So the author decided to use the best of both worlds. In carefully planned lessons, adults can use a common speaking vocabulary -- broken down phonetically -- to recognize, read, and spell words. See a word you know, either by sight or by sound? Now, read it aloud phonetically. Start building your vocabulary from there. The method is simplicity itself, and very effective. For those falling behind due to reading skills, this workbook is the ticket to a new world of learning.
