The Disease You Get in School 

Through research, I have learned that the teaching methods and very curriculum taught in public schools are heavily promoted by the National Education Association (NEA). They’re the largest union in our nation and certify teachers. The NEA promoted the ‘Look-Say' or Whole Languagemethod of reading, beginning in 1929.

So many Americans alive today learned this method if they attended public schools. Private and Christian schools have always taught reading by Phonics. Even public school's online K12 program teaches Phonics to beginning readers.  The problem with the Sight Reading’ method is that it often causes Dyslexia. Symptoms can be identified as a reading words incorrectly, slow reading, blanking out on a word, and causes a lack of reading comprehension.

Dr. Samuel T. Orton, a leading neurologist or brain surgeon,  who is also the world's leading expert on Dyslexia, discovered these problems. The children he had as patients during the 1920s-1940s, required treatment due to the Whole Language method of reading! This was during a time when a great deal of work was being done on auditory, visual, and motor functions of the brain. Researchers were discovering the speech center and the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

  In nearly all cases these problems reversed entirely after ordering a complete Phonics program for each of these students.  This proved to be a most successful treatment and cure.


Though he voiced his findings to educators publicly and wrote articles about it in medical journals, the reading- methods -war remains a hot political button and continues unchanged!
