Hi Suzi,

I'm in the UK and would be grateful if you could let me know the author and

publisher of this book.

Thanks

Hi Suzi

I work in a school here in Brisbane Australia and have been using the same

book to teach reading to 2 SLI boys who I work with both 10 years old. It

has helped a great deal in both cases because of the visual cues for letter

sounds and blends, It does get a bit hard going in the middle stages but it

is worth persevering with it. Good luck and let us know how you go.
