Oh-yeah, that's the ticket. Start them earlier because we all know that's the reason kids can't read or write. They just need a couple more years with the children to teach them. It's not the education system

My kids both learned to read at age 4 in a total of 10 hours --twenty minutes a day for four weeks.

Even though neither my wife nor I have degrees in education, we took a stab at it.

"A", "aaaahhh."

"T", "tuh."

"aaahh-tuh." "At!"

We covered "at," "ax," and "as" the first day. A month later they were reading Dr. Seuss books.

Yeah, more time and money, that will fix the problem.

No, it won't fix the problem. Not as long as it is administered by the current educational system! What you said, is the key to ANY child in America learning to read or write. Parents and grandparents have to teach them, because the current public education system is broken! Be sure to teach your kids how to do simple arithmetic too. I'm amazed at how little kids do learn in this public school system.
