These materials are all black and white with no picture clues. The
child needs to develop the habit of focusing on print, not searching for
picture clues.
This program includes:
A two hour Instructional Video
explaining and demonstrating the reading process through
first grade. On the video, Lois explains each of the five areas. Each
area is then followed up with her granddaughters demonstrating that area.
This video was developed from
40 hours of home videotaping done over the course of nine months. This shows
a four and a half year old girl learning to read and write simple sentences
and beginning with no prior knowledge or interest in letters. Only
these techniques and materials were used. The video will also show
a six year old demonstrating the reading process through first grade.
An easy-to-follow Instruction Booklet.
The booklet and video go hand in
hand and are the instruction for this
program.
Writing Tablet
100 phonetic cards
Blending Box
The File Box has
300 cards, 39 of them are label (instruction) cards.
Each label card has easy-to-follow directions on what to do with the
cards behind it. 
Each card represents a new sound or phonetic skill.
There are over 1200 sentences for the child to read and write from
dictation. There is no isolating or flashcarding of words. All
phonetic skills are taught in the context of sentences.
The file box is approached with the idea that we are
looking for what the child does not know and, therefore, you do not instruct
until the child comes to something he does not know. You have his attention
and that is the time to instruct. The file box will challenge your
child without bombarding him with so many new ideas that he becomes
frustrated. See
