“Learning to read is like learning to drive a car. You take lessons and learn the mechanics and the rules of the road. After a few weeks you have learned how to drive, how to stop, how to shift gears, how to park, and how to signal. When you are ready, you take a road test, and if you pass, you can drive.” 
SmartBrain’s phonics works the same way. 
“Memorizing words, works differently. The child is then taught to read before they have learned the mechanics – the sounds of the letters and the blending of the letters. It is like learning to drive by starting your car and driving ahead……and the mechanics of driving? Apparently you would pick those up as you go along.” – Rudolph Flesch, “Why Johnny Still Can’t Read, 1981.”

Children are thriving with SmartBrain’s Phonetic approach.

Ismail Aziz is busy with SmartBrain’s Sound Empowerment Book 2 and scored 12/12 for this worksheet. He also achieved 100% in his school’s Spelling Bee competition.

We are very proud of him.
