Reading is something we do on a daily basis that many of us take for granted. Learning to read simply goes hand-in-hand with growing up here in the United States, but unfortunately there are thousands upon thousands of teenagers and adults who struggle to acquire this highly useful skill. Going through life without this ability is crippling, to say the least, and can easily cause a cornucopia of issues down the road. Fortunately, one California educator developed a program 20 years ago that has been changing the lives of eager students all across the nation. SightPhonics is an online program developed nearly accidentally that has helped numerous students over the years learn how to read. Created for use with teenagers, its methods are professional, structured, and proven to work.
