STAMP OUT ILLITERACY!

Every child has the
right to be literate.
Let's make sure they are!

Vera Goodman is a best selling author, teacher, and speaker who is known Internationally for her simple, common-sense approach to teaching and learning. Her deep compassion for children who can't read in our highly literate society has led her to spend her retirement years writing for, and speaking to, parents and teachers about how we learn to read and write.

Vera is a passionate believer
that all children have the innate ability
to learn to read just as they learn to speak.

Her first book Reading is More Than Phonics! was a bestseller. It has been re-titled to fit the SIMPLY SERIES. It is now called, Simply Read! Helping Others Learn to Read. It is based on her research and presents the Reading Wings Approach TM to coaching, a uniquely simple, unusual process that focuses on comprehension and puts phonics into perspective. This approach needs only three things to be successful:

Someone who can read
 Someone who wants to learn to read
 A book which interests them both

It is especially designed for use by parents whose children are not reading well, regardless of their age. Some benefits are:

 Enjoyable for both coach and learner
 Restores confidence and positive relationships
around reading practice
 Progress happens quickly
 Nothing extra to purchase
 Effective for everyone regardless of diagnosed
learning disabilities such as Dyslexia,
Auditory Processing Disorder, Attention
Deficit Disorder (ADD), Speech Disorders, and
Phonemic Awareness problems

Vera's second book, Simply Write! Practical Advice for Personal and Family Writing, is based on the premise that just as families who read together raise strong readers, families who model and celebrate through family writing will raise strong writers.

Parents of young children
who follow the advice in these two books
will raise children who read and write easily,
GUARANTEED!

Vera's third book, Simply Too Much Homework! What Can We Do?, draws attention to how excessive homework places unnecessary stress on families and leaves little time for personal reading and writing.
