Title
ABC Phonetic Reading School, Inc. Interactive Online Reading Program
Description
John Cahal, President of the ABC Phonetic Reading Schools, felt first hand the frustration of watching one of his own children struggling to learn to read. He listened as his son's teacher, the school psychologist and principal tried to convince him and his wife their son was learning disabled. Cahal's wife, a psychologist, determined he wasn't. Cahal became concerned with these professionals who would rather find something wrong with his son, than find a solution.
Cahal began looking for help. To his dismay, all the tutoring centers he contacted were using the same method that had failed his son. The method called Whole Language teaches word memorization. According to most studies, Whole Language was and is the number one cause of illiteracy in America today. Cahal decided to take matters into his own hands. His actions set into motion a chain of events that would change his son's life, and thousands of other parents' and students' lives forever.
Cahal hired teachers and began training them in phonics. Using the program he tried to have adopted along with other phonetic materials, he opened the first ABC Phonetic Reading School ® in the fall of 1986. The school was a success however, not as successful as Cahal wished. “He set out on a mission to develop a phonics program that would teach every student wishing to learn to read, to read.”
