Shortcuts to Reading

Career Publishing, Inc.

This inexpensive, oversized book with simple, cartoon-style illustrations can theoretically be used to teach basic phonetic sounds. The format is very appealing to children, inviting the active participation that so many learners require. The instruction is orderly yet not nearly as comprehensive as a complete program. A minimal amount of practice and application is included. Use Modern Curriculum Press’ Plaid Phonics A, Modern Curriculum Press’ Phonics Practice Readers or other materials to build a complete program. It also works well with older learners who need remedial help.
