Editorial Reviews

"My child reads so slowly and forgets words so he hates reading. But after using the ideas in this book he's faster and even asks me to read instead of having fights about reading."

Mother - Susan Wallace

"Now that I've learned how to use the techniques in Now Johnny CAN Learn to Read, my children don't need as much individual attention. I have a kindergartener, a third grader and a ninth grader. By using the ideas in this little book, my time is not so divided. Sometimes we all read the same text together. All the kids are really reading and learning at the same time."

Parent - Greg Mulac
