A Mother’s Journey: Written by Denise Eide

Struggling Readers and the Science of Reading

When my sons were struggling with reading, I turned to the internet for answers. I searched Struggling Readers.
Sight Words. Dyslexia. Phonics. Children who cry when they read. Why is English so hard? I read blogs. I read articles
in educational journals. I ordered books, lots of books. Never once did I consider that there was a science to how
people learn to read.
By the time they were in second grade and still not reading, I felt discouraged. At night, I would worry about their
futures.
Then I found a book that described the Orton phonograms and spelling rules; I couldn’t put it down!
I was captured by facts such as S says TWO sounds, /s/ and /z/. Instantly, I understood why my sons kept
misreading his as hiss and is as iss. They had only been taught that S says /s/, as in sand. When they came across a
word where it said /z/ and they misread it, they were told, “That is a sight word.” Yet, S says /z/ in tens of thousands
of words. It is not an exception!
When I read that there were additional reasons for a silent final E, I jumped up off the couch and ran upstairs and
announced to everyone who was home, “Did you know? There is more than one reason for a silent final E! English
words do not end in V, therefore add an E! This explains words like have and give. The C says /s/ because of the
E! This is why we have a silent final E in lace and it doesn’t say lake. The G says /j/ because of the E! This explains
large and hinge!”
Suddenly I had hope. Maybe the problem wasn’t that there was something
wrong with my sons. Maybe the problem was what they had been taught.
Until this point, the boys had been learning to read with a balanced
literacy approach. They were surrounded by books. We read to
them every day since birth. They loved looking at books and
listening to books, including chapter books. We played rhyming
games and other word games. They learned phonics. They knew
the letter names and the basic sounds, such as A says /ă/ as in
ăpple and /ā/ as in cāpe, and C says /k/ as in cat. They learned SH
says /sh/ as in ship, and IGH says /ī/ as in night. They practiced
reading words that follow the rule the silent E makes the vowel
say its name such as game. And to cover all the words that didn’t
follow the phonics rules, they were taught sight words. We drilled
the sight words so that they would have the tools to read real books.
But it didn’t work. They never progressed beyond reading phonetically
controlled readers that had strange sentence structures and boring stories.
When they tried to read real books or even Level 1 or 2 Readers, it felt like they were misreading every third or
fourth word. I was constantly saying, “That is an exception.” Or “That is a sight word.” The boys became
discouraged. They dreaded reading. They would wiggle off the sofa. And they would cry.
After reading about the phonograms and spelling rules, I realized they didn’t have all the tools to read all the
words. I stopped torture reading with the boys and went back to reading books aloud to them.
At a different time of the day, we filled in their gaps in phonics knowledge. The first day, we went through all the
phonograms in the book and discovered which ones we knew all the sounds to.
Each day we learned two or three new phonograms, or added sounds to the ones we knew, or learned new
spelling rules. I would write words that used the new phonogram or rule on a whiteboard, and they would
practice reading them. We made up silly games to make it fun. Then we practiced writing words that used the
new concept. I would say a word, they would sound it out. They would write it. Then they sounded it out for me.

 A Mother’s Journey continued
Within three months, something amazing happened: they began reading chapter books. They read The Chronicles
of Narnia, Warrior, and Redwall. They loved reading! And they skipped all the level two and three readers.
At the time I wondered, how was that possible? It is explained by the neuroscience of reading.

Strong readers use the same part of their brain to read as they use to listen. When we listen and comprehend,
our brain recognizes the sounds and then connects these sounds to another area that stores the meaning. Strong
readers have trained a special part of their brain called the letterbox. The letterbox recognizes that a letter or group
of letters represents a sound. It then passes the signal to the same area of the brain that recognizes sounds, and the
pathway continues to where the meaning is stored.
When students accurately learn how the sounds in a language are represented, their brains are able to use the
same pathways that are used for listening to read. This is also explained by the Simple View of Reading, which
states that a student’s reading comprehension is equal to their ability to listen and comprehend TIMES their
decoding skills.

Because my sons could listen to a chapter book and comprehend it, as soon as they learned accurate decoding
skills they could apply that knowledge to read and comprehend at the same level.
This is the science of reading at work. It is powerful! And it explains the transformation that struggling readers,
like my sons, experience when they learn how to apply accurate phonics with all of the phonogram sounds and
spelling rules to decode words.

 Who is Through curriculum, books, apps, music, videos, online resources, and professional
development courses, Logic of English is changing how reading is taught.
By revealing the rules and phonograms which logically explain 98% of English
words, Logic of English provides the accurate phonetic tools necessary to crack

?
the code of English. By providing the answers to questions such as Why is there an
E in have? and Why does the C say two sounds in circus? Logic of English eliminates
the need for the rote memorization of sight words.
Today, in the United States, only 36% of eighth grade students read at grade level.
Yet the science of reading has now clearly demonstrated how to teach students
to read successfully.

Our mission is to combine the science of reading with the joy of learning and pave the way to reading success for ALL students.
