Read Right !
ISBN 0071455108 EAN: 9780071455107 McGraw Paperback WB Price: $30.95
According to the latest breakthroughs in cognitive theory and brain research, excellent reading ability doesn't involve a set of "taught" skills. It's a complex process that must be "figured out" by every reader. Scientifically documented as early as the 1960s, preschool-age children with a wide range of IQs are capable of figuring out the complex process for themselves. This stunning reality forms the basis of Dr. Dee Tadlock's innovative Read Right® system. This remarkable system provides the basis for simple techniques to help parents guide young children into their own reading excellence. There are no drills or artificial exercises--just fun, easy activities designed to be integrated into everyday life. Based on nearly twenty-five years of research, the Read Right® system is a proven alternative to outdated and incomplete phonics-based or whole-language methods. Most important, this interactive system can teach anyone, even adults, how to "figure out" the process of reading.The Read Right® system's three keys are: Excellence: reading that feels comfortable and sounds natural Intent: applying "mental force" until the brain achieves excellence The Predictive Strategy: using experimentation to figure out the complex process.Includes recommended books for children and reference sources.23.27 cms L x 16.10 cms W (0.33 kgs) 272 pages
