June Brown's Guide to 'Let's Read'
Revised Edition

June Brown Garner
The supplementary workbook to Leonard Bloomfield and Clarence L. Barnhart's Let's Read: A Linguistic Approach, June Brown's guide is part of the foundation to successful reading. Brown emphasizes the parents' role in teaching a child to read, their ability to work one-on-one with the child and to work beyond the five-day class week.
In this second revised edition, Brown further develops the concept of "total recall." "Total recall" means that the student can recite the letters in alphabetical order, can identify them when they are presented in random order, and can print any word when it is pronounced and spelled.
Lesson plans are included for each section of Let's Read, along with hints on individual and group teaching, classroom organization, and working with slow learners.
"It proved to be so easy for me to teach children by using this book [Let's Read] that I decided . . . to work directly with parents and their youngsters. This guidebook and Let's Read are all you need to change your child's reading failure into reading success . . . As one parent to another, I urge you to start at once. The rapid progress your child can make will restore lost confidence, improve self-esteem, and convince you that every normal child—and many retarded ones— can learn to read."
—June Brown Garner.
