Touchdown! Greaser!
Got a couple questions - my wife is trying to help some one learn to read English. She's maybe mid-30s, speaks passable English (she's better than she thinks), but has a lot of trouble with reading. She grew up in a society where girls were not sent to school, so she never learned to read in her native language. There are a lot of ESL guides, but they seem to generally assume that the student already knows how to read in their own language.
There doesn't seem to be much else, other than the Dick and Jane style books that kids would use.
Anyone dealt with this before? We're trying to find any ideas that might help. I'm a believer in phonetics, I don't know if that's making a comeback yet or not.
