She still does this as a private tutor and has an adult writing class. After sitting with many frustrated students who did not know how to decode (sound out) words, Marilyn devised a series of lessons that allowed students to sound out words quickly. These lessons are the foundation of this book. Modern reading research has shown the crucial role of phonics in learning to read, write and spell. Many children fail to gain the ability to read and write because they lack the understanding of how the English alphabet system works.
