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.
