This review is from: If it is to be it is up to me: Helping Anyone (Children/Relatives/Neighbors/Friends) Overcome Reading/Spelling Problems (Spiral-bound)

Like little Mikey, I tried it. I liked it. But more important than that, my son liked it. His reading improved rapidly as he learned the spelling patterns. He liked the fact that he was getting to spell words that were even outside his vocabulary! He had no idea what flatter meant the first time he encountered the word. But he correctly spelled it the very first time. And, of course, he handled flattery as easily as he had battery. All that just starting with the word AT in the first lesson and building on it to BAT, RAT, and BRAT. Then going to the ATS words as in BATS, RATS, BRATS, FLATS, and then to the ATTED AND ATTING words as in batted and batting, and then to the ATTER and ATTERY words as in BATTERY and FLATTERY. I can't believe that this book isn't better known in our schools.
