Publisher's Synopsis
Being able to read is one of the most important abilities that an individual could possibly acquire within their lifetime, for it not only opens up the treasure house of knowledge contained within books in general, but it opens up the greater treasure that is available within The Holy Bible. Being able to read is a learned action and skill that one acquires, it is not a natural function like breathing or walking, and yet in many ways it is more vital to the life and health of an individual, for being able to read adds quality to ones life, for almost all we do that contains real meaning requires us to be able to read. Which is why, it is the duty of every individual to learn and be able to read, the duty of every parent to teach their children to read, or at least insure that they do learn to read from someone else, and it is the duty of every society that wishes to have a functioning and successful populace, that those within society are able to read and are taught how to read in a manner that will insure the greatest success and ease of learning how to read. This is why this book is vital, for there have been three main ways within the English language that individuals have been taught to read, of which The Phonics Method is the far superior method as we will seek to establish with evidence within this book, for we will show how the vast majority of English written words can be easily read using the simple process of knowing the associate look, name, and sound of the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet, with some associate rules, verses the method that some in the education establishment apparently recommend, of memorizing words as whole unites, even though there are thousands upon thousands of words in the English language. We will use The Exhaustive Concordance Of The Bible: By James Strong to acquire our sample of English words, that is, we will see how the majority of the various different words contained in the concordance follow the rules that The Phonics Method specifically teaches, which intern negates the necessity of teaching these words as a whole unit.
