Adult Reading Program Literacy Learn Read Online Self Hooked Phonics Teach

Description

As a teacher of severely handicapped teenagers for many years, Patricia Lear has often had to invent her own materials. Patricia's students had the capabilities of five-year-olds scholastically with a Backstreet Boys social mentality. No existing materials seemed to fit their needs.

SightPhonics was written out of guilt. The main reading program used with her students was one which taught the things that would have no use in real life. Though it did help them keep their minds and imaginations moving, it did little to provide them with "real living" skills.

So she wrote a book accompanied with an audio CD in effort to teach her students the letter names. They succeeded so quickly that she decided to teach them the letter sounds. Again the success was so fast that Patricia decided to move on to simple words. As they kept coming to her for more and more reading, she had to provide more to keep up with their demands. Riding a wave of success, she finally decided to plan and bring to fruition a complete program for all learners. The result was SightPhonics.
