Title: Don't believe the naysayers....
Review: This is an exciting and revolutionary book. It clearly explains that when a child is ready to learn spoken language she can also learn to read. This is because the same pathways in the brain are used. Actually a child learns to read more easily as a baby than she can as a 6 or 7 year old.A baby doesn't learn to understand speech and to speak by learning phomenes, the fundamental elements of speech. I baby learns to understand and speak words. A child initially learns to read by word recognition. Learning the alphabet slows the process for a baby. After they read they can learn the alphabet and phonetics, they will be valuable then.This book was first published in 1969. In a rational world it would have revolutionized education by now. Compare the invention of the transistor and the changes it has made in our world over the last 45 years. This book should have had a similar impact!
