	Foundation Reading - Phonics Course for Beginning Readers http://www.booksforlearning.com.au/ This series of books is designed for parents and teachers to use with 4-7 year olds. Foundation Reading introduces children to reading in systematic steps, establishing a solid understanding of the building blocks of written text. No academic skill is more critical than the ability to read. This involves many skills, including the ability to comprehend meaning; but the first essential is to understand the relationship between sounds and written words. Children naturally acquire speech; but writing systems are man-made and need to be taught. It is essential that, from the very beginning, the building blocks of written text be presented in a precise and logical way. Foundation Reading takes beginning readers carefully through the fundamentals of reading, from initial auditory skills to letter-sound correspondences, letter groups and multi-syllabic words. This series is an invaluable tool for parents who want to ensure a successful introduction to reading for their children.

Today people suffer from a reading overload, feeling pressured for time and exasperated. They spend hours every day gathering information from emails, reports, magazines, web sites, and books using reading skills that have had little attention since primary school. An unfortunate limitation in the Information Age. Advanced reading skills would improve success in business and study and give time for other activities. The ReadQuick course is designed to teach a range of reading skills to enable you to manage your reading material efficiently. It will build on your existing skills enabling you to assimilate large amounts of information with increased comprehension. Will it improve my comprehension? Yes, for a number of reasons. Your mind wanders when you read slowly. In the same way, your mind wanders when you listen to someone speaking very slowly. If you read at higher speeds your mind is active and will stay focussed and therefore absorb more important information. Secondly, you need to read in new ways to improve comprehension, including previewing at high speed and then re-reading the important sections word for word while you fit the information into you existing knowledge.
