Learn to Read English Books

Reading is nothing more than making sense of the letters mixed to form words. This is an abstract process which occurs in the mind. The number of letters in the word does not matter, for as long as this can be read, and its meaning understood. Most English teachers start teaching reading by making the child memorize all the 26 letters of alphabet all at one time. This procedure is confusing to the beginning reader.

Note that the letters “b” and “d”, and “m” and “w”, “p” or “q” would cause confusion. Letters like “a” and “e” are pronounced differently depending on their word placements. The “e” in the word name is not even pronounced at all.” Why overburden the reader with these strange configurations of letters formed into words?

The books is this series teach reading by starting with only a few selected letters of the alphabet and proceeds with the staggered introduction of letters as the books progresses

Learn to Read English the Easy Way

Learn to Read English

the Easy Way

The books in this series are intended to teach reading in a simplified manner - by exposing the beginning reader to only a few letters of the alphabet and simple words at one time. The reading lessons are anchored on the “Start with 7 and end with all” technique developed in the mid-1960s in a public school in Zamboanga.

Word recognition is strengthened by

the repetition of already- learned words along with new ones. The other letters are introduced in a staggered basis to avoid confusion of shapes, forms and sounds.

This process is repeated in succeeding pages and gradually on to the next pages by the use of simple words and sentence patterns. Texts are so constructed to serve as springboards for discussions.

The Dolch Basis Sight Words included in these books will facilitate the unlocking of new words easier for young and old alike.

These books can be the foundation for more

adventures in reading.

Start with 7 and End with All

Start with 7 and End with All

There is no law which says that we cannot teach reading with only a few letters at a time. The lessons in these books start with seven letters combined to form simple words.

New letters are introduced gradually and the reader “touches base” at near the end of the book with the letter Z. There is an average of 200 days in a school year to master the 180 pages of the manual..

Word recognition is strengthened by the repetition of already learned words. New words are formed from out of the letters which are introduced on a staggered basis -to avoid confusion of shapes, forms and sounds.

The process is repeated in succeeding pages and gradually on to the next pages by the use of simple words and sentence patterns. The texts are also springboards for discussion.

Reading is nothing more than making sense of the letters mixed to form words. This is an abstract process which occurs in the mind. The number of letters in the word does not matter, for as long as this can be read, and its meaning understood. The present practice of teaching reading is to make the child memorize all the 26 letters of alphabet all at one time. The words introduced to the beginning reader are within the wide range of the alphabet.

Note that the letters “b” and “d”, and “m” and “w”, “p” or “q” would cause confusion. Letters like “a” and “e” are pronounced differently depending on their word placements. The “e” in the word name is not even pronounced at all.” Why overburden the reader with these strange configurations of letters formed into words?

Developing Mastery in Reading

Developing Mastery in Reading

Most reading textbooks lack continuity. The reader must wait for another year or months before he can proceed to the next grade level. These books featured in this site do away with this deficiency. The lessons are quite simple. It is assumed that the reader have mastered the previous lesson or page before proceeding to the new one. While the number of words per page is gradually increased, most of these are words already learned.

Aside from simple words, the Basic Sight Words are incorporated in the text as appropriate according to the rate of letter intake.

By the time the reader reaches the end of the books he or she will have mastered all the 26 letters of the alphabet and possess a reading vocabulary of over a thousand words and numbers.

Ideally, a beginning reader must have his or her own copy of this manual during the formative years in school or at home.

The greatest investment that we can make today is on the child. All our efforts to alleviate the conditions of society would be of no avail, if the citizen, on his own, cannot even read and understand what he can do to help himself.

The illiterate citizen or youth of today is no other than the child who failed to MASTER THE ART OF READING from the day he or she first set foot in school a decade or more ago.

It is not the fault of the child if he or she walks blind in the world of letter forms. It is up to parents or teachers to show the child the way.

Reading (Made Easy) Manual

A Basic English Reader for Beginners

First Philippine Copyright 1999

Revised Edition Copyright 2003

This Manual teaches reading in a simplified manner by exposing the beginning reader to only a few letters of the alphabet and simple words at one time.

The lessons are quite simple. New words in succeeding pages are indicated in bold and large types. The tutor, teacher or reader will therefore know which of the words he must unlock. Thus, while succeeding pages may contain more than five lines or sentences, the reader can know that it is only the new words which he must unlock and then master the page

By the time the reader reaches the end of the manual, he or she will have mastered all the 26 letters of the alphabet and possess a reading vocabulary of over 1,050 words and numbers.

The revised edition is a product of painstaking scrutiny of what were missed or could be improved in the fist edition. The over a dozen more pages, added in the revised edition, introduce the reader to narratives beyond the basic dialogues used in the manual proper.

These adaptations from Aesop's Fables will initiate the reader to the rich entertaining world of words in print..
