What's the cure for our plague of illiteracy?

What's the cure for our plague of illiteracy?

Written English, like nearly all languages, is based on phonics; letters represent sounds.  Sixteen letters almost always make the same sound.  They're easy to learn.  Only 10 letters make more than one sound.  Learn these and a few rules, and reading becomes a simple, logical process.  To make America literate again, we must resume teaching reading by phonics.  Academic Associates students typically gain two or more grades in reading in 30 to 60 hours.  Call us today.

What if my child is a little slow in learning to read?

What if my child is a little slow in learning to read?

By the end of first grade, every child should be able to read nearly every word in our language.  But over half of America's students fall behind and never catch up.  that's devastating to children, but the full force of the disaster hits when they try to compete in the global job market as adults.  The good news is that it only takes a little while to learn to read. Don't let another disappointing day go by.  Call Academic Associates and schedule a free, no obligation reading evaluation.
