Reading Made Easy with Blend Phonics

Nationwide Educational Reform Campaign

Sponsored by Donald L. Potter

"An effective answer to illiteracy … Let me offer a less costly, and more effective answer. I have here a twenty-five page booklet called Blend Phonics by Hazel Loring, a master teacher born in 1902, who taught under both the “whole word” and phonics systems. The legacy she has left us is powerful. Within the pages of this little booklet is the cure of illiteracy as we begin the twenty-first century. … If every preservice reading teacher, every reading supervisor, every kindergarten, first- and second-grade teacher in America had the information contained in Hazel Loring’s 25-page booklet, and taught it this fall, there would be such a dramatic decrease in illiteracy in this country that the national media would be forced to take note.” - Recommendation for Hazel Loring’s 1980 Reading Made Easy With Blend Phonics for First Grade by Mr. Robert W. Sweet, Jr. Cofounder and President of The National Right to Read Foundation in his 1996 article, “The Century of Miseducation of American Teachers.”
