Here's some of the background behind this affordable phonics e-book:

Back in the 1950's, when our guided reading/sight-reading methods were first introduced into America's schools, a little girl named Candy struggled to learn to read. She just couldn't grasp reading through these new guessing game/whole word/just-a-tiny-bit-of-phonics methods.

It wasn't until Candy was taken away to a little white cottage in the back of her schoolyard and given instruction in a 4WAY Systematic Phonics method, that Candy learned how to read every word on every page.

Your child can learn to read using the same reading system that Candy used, but he/she will need a reading teacher who intensely and emotionally cares that their student learns to really and truly read.

That means, Mom or Dad, that your child needs you as his/her reading teacher.

Your little one does not need a village or a certified teacher to learn to read.

Your child just needs a mom (or a dad) who cares, coupled with a correct systematic phonics-first AFFORDABLE curriculum.

You see, God has designed PARENTS to instruct their own children in the foundational basics needed to get along in life.

Reading is one of those foundational basics. Of course, for the most part, a parent’s one-on-one instruction in any subject area will produce better results than group instruction. Reading, however, is the entire foundation of all learning; therefore, reading is best taught to a child one-on-one by his parent.

My name is Carol Kay. I am the author and president of Candy 4WAY phonics. It has been my teaching experience in the classroom, in the home school arena, when talking with parents in one-on-one tutoring sessions, and when talking with both parents and teachers in the school-classroom setting, that our society has been fed a list of terrible, terrible “reading” lies.

These Reading Lies include the following:

a.) LIE Number One - Teaching a child to read is difficult.

b.) LIE Number Two - Teaching a child to read can only be accomplished by a trained professional.

c.) LIE Number Three – Teaching a child to read requires the knowledge of a combination of several
types of reading methods.

d.) LIE Number Four –Parents and others who decide to invest in reading materials must be prepared to
pay a pretty penny for those materials.

e.) LIE Number Five – A parent who does not know phonics cannot teach a child to read phonetically.

Well, here’s the truth of it all:

a.) LIE Number One - Teaching reading is difficult.

THE TRUTH?
The subject of reading is not difficult to learn, and it is not difficult to teach. With patience and a correct 4WAY Phonics system, learning to read can be fun and full-filling for parent and child.

b.) LIE Number Two - Teaching a child to read can only be accomplished by a trained professional.

THE TRUTH?
Parents make the best teachers for their child.

c.) LIE Number Three – Teaching a child to read requires the knowledge of a combination of several reading methods.

THE TRUTH?
Teaching a child to read requires the knowledge of only one 4WAY Phonics, step-by-step system for reading.

d.) LIE Number Four –Parents and others who decide to invest in reading materials must be prepared to pay a pretty penny for those materials.

THE TRUTH?
Reading material should not be expensive. A consistent, time-proven reading system is all that is needed to create a good reader. The Candy 4WAY Phonics Program is a time-proven, complete K4 thru 4th Grade 4WAY Phonics Program, and it’s designed for PARENTS and sold at a price PARENTS can afford!

e.) LIE Number Five – A parent who does not know phonics cannot teach a child to read phonetically.

THE TRUTH?
Parents who don’t know phonics make the best phonics teachers, because more than anyone else, a parent knows his child’s fears and thought patterns.

THE CANDY 4WAY PHONICS MISSION STATEMENT

Many businesses today are missing an important piece of the marketing puzzle. They are concerned with making "enough" money rather than focusing on their original "mission." At Candy 4WAY Phonics, it is our mission to truly care if children are developing in their reading skills. We care if real learning is taking place. We care that reading development and learning tools and services are available to parents and teachers at affordable prices. This is what sets our CDL services apart from other phonics establishments.

In addition, our research has told us that teaching precedes learning, that learning is not something that simply "takes place" after a period of time. Primarily, young children learn because they are taught, and if a child is missing an element of knowledge, it is most likely because they were never taught that knowledge or taught the skills to attain that knowledge. Our mission is that parents and teachers be given the means to use the very best practices when teaching children to read. We believe that correct methods coupled with praise and encouragement and patience bring about student achievement. At Candy 4WAY Phonics, we believe that the function of educators is to make certain that education really and truly takes place.
