I really needed this book.

On the very first page of her book, Diane McGuinness profiled a boy whose reading and writing issues were so much like my daughter's that I knew for once I was reading a book that was going to take my concerns seriously. For the last year, I have been searching high and low for a reading program that makes sense. I thought phonics instruction was preferable to making her memorize words, but when I tried to teach it, I ran...
