		<description>I do think phonics is important when teaching a kid to read.  But I think more than phonics needs to be used.

When I first taught my children to read, I used a method of phonics, but quickly realized this worked for my eldest but not my youngest.  She didn&#039;t grasp reading.  So after trial and error I began to realize she was a visual learner who needed both elements to learn to read.  She only became successful in learning after the sound and visual were combined.  And now she is reading at a higher grade level than her fellow students.

I have seen a huge improvement, and suggest for anyone whose kid is struggling with reading to try using both sound and visual to help their kid overcome it too.</description>
