Do you want to teach your child to read using the CORRECT method?
 
Does your child battle academically at school because too little attention is being given to his/her READING PROBLEM?
 
Are you HOME SCHOOLING your child/children and in need of a successful reading method?
     
  A study conducted by the University of Cape Town in 2009 found that more than 67% of learners up till grade 4 are illiterate mostly due to poor or inadequate basic reading coaching. With the Sound Combination Reading Method the learner is taught sound combinations that empowers them to construct words phonetically AND to read them AND to pronounce them correctly. Other methods erroneously teaches a child to memorize words and sentences and prevents them from reading unknown words. On our reading method the child is taught to read sounds combined and not to read or sound them singularly, for example "ca-t" and NOT "c-a-t".

Kids can't read or write
The Star 2011-06-29

"Most Grade 3 and 6 pupils can't count and can't understand what they were supposed to have been taught. They scored a dismal 28% in numeracy and literacy in a countrywide assessment test earlier this year. In Gauteng, nearly 70% of the province's Grade 3 pupils can't read or count. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga described the results as "very sad". ... The pathetic results confirmed earlier international surveys, in which South African Grade 3s and 6s were ranked very low and their performance was cited by educationists as a sympton of a dysfunctional education system. Professor Sarah Gravett, the University of Johannesburg's dean of education, explained that the language and literacy assessments not only show whether pupils read and identify words, but also if they understand what they're reading. THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING THAT EDUCATION IS FAILING..."

60% of these pupils can't read or write

"About two thirds of the almost 1500 primary schools in Gauteng do not perform accordings to expectations, and not even 60% of pupils in these schools can read or write... Ms Barbara Creesy, Gauteng MEC of education, said although it is impossible for each school to have therapists or psychologists, models must be investigated to spread skills between schools."

  Our method has been successfully used for over 60 years already, in both schools and at home.
  Thousands of children have been taught to read or have been helped by using this method, and many schools are using our product.
  Suitable for all ages (even grown-ups) - on average girls start from the age of 4 and boys from 5 years.
