About The Reading System

 
 

Why Is Our Reading System so effective?

 
 

Gertrude Garrow’s Amazing, Animated Reading System can teach anyone, including those who have a learning disability, such as dyslexia, to read in less than 30 hours.

 

  • Gertrude Garrow’s Animated Reading System uses ingenious mnemonics in the form of animated stories, songs and rhymes that make the English language virtually 100% phonetic. English is roughly 20% phonetic

  • This amazing, accelerated reading system is systematic, sequential, cumulative and logical

  • Unique memory aids make re-teaching virtually unnecessary. The abstraction of the letters and words is removed, making learning seem like child’s play

  • It caters for all learning styles and intelligences

  • See documented evidence in testimonials of how Gertrude used her system to teach all 44 English speech sounds, letter groupings, high-frequency keywords and sight words etc.,to sixteen 16-year-old students with serious behavioural problems and IQ’s ranging from 71-80, in 12 hours

  • Children and adults love the system’s ability to make them laugh and yet teach at an accelerated rate. The fun is infectious. Children can teach children

  • It is imaginative. Bite-size chunks make lessons easier to remember.

  • Minimum effort–maximum results

  • Reading practice is in the form of amusing rhymes. If you can read and write the short rhyme, you have learned to read and spell the words

  • The system teaches the keywords that make up 75% of English words in textbooks and newspapers and magazines through the use of a couple of animated stories and songs

  • Vowel sounds that need 20 plus lessons are taught in just two

  • Words that have a letter in common such as: ‘h’ in ‘sh’ ‘ch’ ‘th’ and ‘wh’ or ‘n’ in ‘knowledge’ ‘pneumonia’ and ‘gnat’ are each taught together in one lesson

  • Homophones are pictures

  • Syllabication is a game

  • The system is economical. It saves time and resources

  • It is adaptable. It can be used in classrooms, online, in prisons, for home schooling and self-tuition

  • French, Spanish and Italian versions of the system are also available

  • Not one person taught using AtoZeasy has failed to read in less than 30 hours
