AN ARTICLE ON PHONICS

Millions of adults in the United States are functionally illiterate (they are not capable of fluently reading every word on every page).

Without this ability to read, our math scores have fallen, our science scores have fallen, our history scores have fallen, and our literature scores have fallen.

Comprehension and Inferential thinking are now taking a back seat to rampant misunderstanding and flawed logic in the minds of our children (the future leaders of our country)!

This unfortunate educational path has been traveled by our citizens for quite some time. In fact, our American public educational system at one point became so full of second-rate results that in the year 1983, members of the National Commission on Excellence in Education published a report in which they stated that our educational foundations had become so mediocre that our nation had become “A Nation at Risk!”

Has anything changed in our public schools since 1983?

Well, The Koret Task Force, educators commissioned by the Hoover Institute of Stanford University in Menlo Park, Calif., recently concluded: “The tide of mediocrity remains high.”

You see they found that today’s SAT scores are still below even what they were at their 1970 levels. At the same time, our children’s scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress have remained flat over the years, and in global comparisons, US students still fail to score among the top nations.

The book entitled: Retarding America,The Imprisonment of Potential, is based upon a study of children and young adults in the juvenile justice system. Most educators and people in general are probably aware of the fact that among this group of juveniles there is a very high rate of illiteracy (the inability to read fluently).

However, it was found that children from this juvenile group who were taught to read with systematic phonics instruction had far reduced rates of relaspses into their former illegal habits than those children who were taught using our currently public school reading methods.

Unfortunately, most teachers involved in our juvenile and adult prison systems teach reading in the same way in which they, themselves, were taught and in the same way in which those adults serving in our juvenile correctional facilities were taught — they sadly continue to teach reading using the whole language, look/say method.

It is because of the horrendous findings of studies such as these that The Candy 4WAY Phonics Program, fine-tuned and field tested over the past 28 years and now upgraded for this generation of parents and children, is now available at an affordable price for ALL parents in ALL American households. The goal of The Candy 4WAY Phonics Publishers is to put an end to illiteracy in this nation by making a fun, easy-to-understand and easy-to-use systematic phonics program available at an affordable price to America’s parents, grandparents and educators!
