This book is written to enhance the possibilities of uncovering new ways to teach reading. This book, is addressing how teachers, college professors, community leaders, community business owners, officials and parent's should encourage and challenge their local school and local board of education to utilize the absolute best methods available to teach our children how to read. In the United States alone our children are completing Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd Grade and some even 3rd Grade, and these children are not able to read. Parents are expected to present inquiries to their child's teachers, school officials, and educational experts to design a learning method to improve our current system of teaching reading. The message, research and the structure of this book was written to encourage all parents, educators and school officials to think about "What If" there was a better and more effective way to teach a child how to read? Would you take on that challenge of giving a child the "Gift" of learning how to read? No matter the cost! Do you spend your days working with students who struggle to comprehend reading in literacy and content classes? Are you looking for a better way to establish comprehensive literacy of instruction in your school, classroom or home so all students receive support in becoming a competent and confident reader? Hopefully, some readers will have more use for the practical strategies and/or perhaps some educators will want to have this book for their classroom and personal use.
