How NICE that someone is pushing phonics! Absolutely left to right, this is just what we teach in Sing, Spell, Read & Write. This is the way many old Spanish and French reading programs also teach reading!  My best to you and your efforts! Christine D'Amico, Reading Specialist Bushwick, New York

Thanks Christine. I have yet to teach Sing, Read & Write, but I have heard some very good things about it. Left to right is the only way to go, and the sooner the kids are taught directionality the better they will read and the less chance there will be of them developing artificially induced whole-word dyslexia.

this guy sounds like George Bush. haha!!

[DonLPotter]

I quite frankly don't know much about George Bush; but I do know how to teach reading. I didn't ask the government or any foundation for permission or funds to start my Nationwide Blend Phonics Campaign. I am certain that if every kindergarten and first grade teacher in America taught Blend Phonics just as Hazel Loring recommended, illiteracy would be a thing of the past in the country. Don Potter

I just saw your website on the recommendation of another homeschooler. It looks really interesting. I would love to give it a try. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I subscribed, too!

love this approach and i love the website. i've taught whole language and i've taught phonics from commercial programs. i'm not satisfied with either way. i love don's resources....they are inexpensive, simple to make, and they MAKE SENSE.

Hi Mr. Potter. I just wanted to say that I am currently using your program to teach my five year old to read. Its wonderful. I have already used it to teach three of my other kids to read. Intensive phonics is the only way to go. Your program has worked wonders with my children. I wanted to say thank you and this program has been al blessing to my family. Thank you so very much.

Great Video Mr Potter God bless,

I have used your website extensively for resources. Particularly the syllabaries. I emailed you a few months ago for advice but did not receive a reply. We teach in India. Is there a nice way to link blend phonics with the Syllabaries and a method to link them.

Hey, I'm a blind person... Is this George Bush?

[cramsek]

Don, I'm a homeschool mom and taught my son how to read with this program and it was so easy and I had fantastic results. That was 2 years ago and he is a great reader. I am now going to start teaching my 5 year old daughter to read and will use blend phonics as well! Thanks for posting the Blend Phonics materials for free, may the Lord bless you!

You certainly do know how to teach reading and have incredible knowledge and insight into the history and methodology of reading. Your website is a huge asset to anyone wanting to know anything about reading or how to teach their own child. Thank you Don for all your hard work and for sharing your knowledge and insight in your videos and on your website!!! I'm a huge fan!!!
