New Book, Endorsed by Reid Lyon and Temple Grandin Reveals A Solution to the Literacy Crisis

April 12, 2011 - PRLog -- In "Uncovering the Logic of English: A Common-Sense Solution to America's Literacy Crisis," author Denise Eide demonstrates how  current reading methods are ineffective for teaching our future engineers and scientists. These logically minded students need to be taught systematically and with consistent rules. Before the U.S. can raise up scientists and mathematicians, we must address the reality that 68% of eighth graders read below grade level, many of whom are naturally gifted at math and science.

In one slim volume, "Uncovering the Logic of English" presents the rules and phonograms which describe 98% of English words and demonstrates how this knowledge revolutionizes reading, spelling, and vocabulary development. Simple answers are given for questions such as: Why is there a silent final E in house? Why don't we drop the E in courageous? Why does C say both /k/ and /s/ in the word accent? Why is progression spelled with -sion rather than -tion? As the rules unfold it becomes apparent how this knowledge is vital to reversing the educational crisis that is plaguing America. This slim volume is easy to read and accessible to parents and classroom teachers.

"Uncovering the Logic of English" has been endorsed by Temple Grandin as "really helpful for teaching reading to children who are mathematical and pattern thinkers," and by Dr. Reid Lyon, one of the nation's foremost experts in literacy.
