It truly is the easiest and most effective method I have tried. I had watched your video in which you showed how to teach Blend Phonics to be sure I was doing it correctly. Then we proceeded with the lessons. I was encouraged by the video and the statement on our website that you have achieved 100% success with your students since using this program. <em>Michele Beaujean, Grateful Mother of 7 in PA.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;A couple million copies of this tiny treasure, in the hands of every K-12 teacher in the schools, would bring about a revival of grassroots literacy within a year. Many teachers at last would understand why their school&#8217;s adopted commercial programs produce poor reading and what to do. <em>Kathy Diehl, Former Director of Research for the <strong>Reading Reform Foundation<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;An effective answer to literacy &#8230; Let me offer a less costly, and more effective answer. I have her a twenty-five-page booklet called <a title=\"Reading Made Easy with Blend Phonics \" href=\"https:\/\/www.createspace.com\/4306673\">Blend Phonics<\/a> by Hazel Loring, a master teacher born in 1902, who taught under both the &#8220;whole word&#8221; and phonics systems. The legacy she has left us is powerful. Within the pages of this little booklet is the cure of illiteracy as we begin the twenty-first century &#8230; If every preservice reading teacher, and every reading supervisor, every kindergarten and first- and second-grade teacher in America had the information contained in Hazel Loring&#8217;s 25-page booklet and taught it this fall, there would be such a dramatic decrease in illiteracy in this country that the national media would be forced to take note. <em>Robert W.
