How to teach your child to read

I created the course first in about 1978 and then for each of my children adapted it till I had a format that worked well. Then I tried it out on children of neighbors for free and then I started selling the first volume of it to people around the city.

In about 1985 I started tutoring it in small classes in my own home (the first grads are now 19-21 and doing well in post-secondary) but some parents did not want to drive all the way over to my home twice a week. So with the help of Supervideo Systems in Calgary I also made it into a movie. My own kids act out being letters and I teach the entire course with food and toy props, animation, letter displays, and charts - all on video. Some customers like the video course and it has also been purchased by several institutions.

If you would like more information about the method I can mail you a free brochure.

If you would like to order the videos, just send a cheque or money order to

If you would like to order the books, you have a choice.

The course was made originally in four levels. There are now are several options however.

The basic alphabet is taught in level one. $30

The upper case and long sounds of vowels and sh,ch,th combinations are in level two $30

BEST SELLER: Levels one and two in a single bound volume for $45 ($30 US)

There are also third and fourth levels for more advanced entry into reading - ing, tion etc. Cost $30 each

All volumes are the actual workbook. The child writes write in the book and all instructions and reviews are provided. Parents or other caregivers need only walk the child through, a page or so a day, as the child wishes.

I have also created a review book in one volume, for children ages 10 and up who need a quick review of all basic reading skills. It is called the Reading Refresher. Cost $30

The Reading Refresher has been working well for students of English as a second language, new to Canada and able to read but not to read English. It is also useful for adults who know how to read a little but who need a quick review of all basic skills.

There is also a book teaching reading skills to those with developmental delays.

It is a slower-paced progression with larger font, using only concrete words. It is more thoroughly described at another website. The course is called Anchors and Sails Intense. It is a three volume course, each volume costing $30

The videos of the course cover levels one and two of the basic method.

Level one is three 2-hour tapes .
Level two is four 2-hour tapes.

Many find the videos useful for preschooles, but also for older siblings who are reluctant readers but who like to watch TV, and for immigrants who need to be 'immersed' in English with demonstrations as the tapes can do.

Last I have a course to teach English-speaking children how to read French.

This is the SAME method as Anchors and Sails, but it of course uses French words, hints, poems, songs, memory devices. The French course is called

Ancres et Voiles

A parent or teacher needs to understand some French to administer the French course but all of the instructions are there and the child writes right in the workbook.

The cost of the 3 volumes of the French course is $30 each

The French course is called Ancres et Voiles
