Indiana and Mister Bones the Skeleton Derick

Everyone knows somebody young or old who cannot read or struggles to read. It is like having only one peddle on your bicycle and seeing cyclists ride past and disappearing in the distance leaving you behind. That journey of discovery of each letter having a sound all of its own is like sitting on the saddle of the bicycle and having two feet on two peddles and moving off in first gear and wobbling to maintain balance. To have the ability to string together the sounds of each letter to make words is like going from first gear into second gear and feeling the wind in your hair. Reading a collection of words and understanding what is written is like going from second gear into third gear and looking ahead as far as the eye can see. To have the knowledge and ability to go from reading to then writing down YOUR OWN words into sentences that can be read and understood is like going from third gear into top gear and having no limits to where you go or what you do.

This book starts anyone young or old unable to read or write on that Journey of Discovery.
