  • You exposed me to read "Why Johnny Can't Read", and now I am using Flesch's exercises to teach my preschooler how to read. He is catching on quickly, because it makes too much sense! Thank you for the information! I am hearing a lot of noise about how some words break phonetic rules, but I don't get it. I think it is a way to get people on the sight words train, which looks like a lot of rubbish.

  • Rudolph Flesch HAD it right, AMEN! Lucy Calkins who is a WHOLE LANGUAGE advocate has continued to propogate the lie that we are "Whole Word" learners, imagine, when Bloomberg came into office her program was forced on 1.1 million kids and 100,000 teachers. They made all teachers throw out all phonics programs all reading programs that worked were trashed. Instead her JUNK went in and they then fudged the test scores to make Bloomberg look good. IDIOTS!

  • Thank you for introducing me to Flesch and his work.

    The proof for me is that I am currently teaching a sixth grade girl from Pakistan, who doesn't speak English, and she is reading. I am amazed more and more every day by her progress. Thanks for all you're doing. Great video!

  • Anyone can easily prove for themselves whether Flesch was right or not by simply teaching a young child or older illiterate the 72 Exercises in the back of his 1955 book, Why Johnny Can't Read and what you can do about it. I have and I know that Flesch was right. Try it. And you will agree.
