FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO JUMP RIGHT INTO THE "MEAT AND POTATOES", HERE'S A QUICK RECAP OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU WILL BE GETTING WITH MY INCREDIBLE TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL READING SYSTEM:

Welcome to a 'radical underground'…

1. A set of 3 books of the Teach Your Children to Read Well series, if your child is of the appropriate age for that level as shown by the placement tests. This series includes an Instructor's Manual with an Instructor's Guide, a Student Reader and a Student Workbook.

   Or

   A set of 2 books of the Toolbox Series for Literacy Series, if your child is behind and needs fast remediation to catch up. The Toolbox Series is a stripped-down version of the same curriculum designed to be age-appropriate for children who are behind and would be "turned off" by "childish looking " materials. There is no Student Workbook. They already know the skills it practices, such as printing alphabet letters.

2. Two instructional CDs. The first CD outlines the history, the research, the common errors in instructional design of reading programs and the solutions which we have built into the Teach Your Children Well Reading System. Once you understand where we have been and why we have created the program in the particular way we did, you will be much more convinced and committed to make it work, because you know it will.

   The second CD walks you through the Instructor's Guide of the Instructor's Manual. It teaches you exactly how to present the material to the student. It also has demonstrations of each of the recipes for reading, with me teaching it to a student so that you can hear what it sounds like when it is done well. I have had more compliments on this aspect of the training program than I can count.

3. A one-year subscription to the Teach Your Children Well Newsletter. This newsletter contains lessons for teaching a wide variety of skills in other areas of curriculum. It is coordinated with a half hour weekly radio program on www.homeschoolingradio.com. Each Friday, I teach the program hosts, Kathie and Leland Fleming, a new academic skill. Then the recipe for that lesson and its worksheets are posted on our website as our newsletter. This is a developing treasure trove of helpful practices for any homeschooler.
4. A signed copy of my best-selling, award-winning first book, Teach Your Children Well, the book that started it all. This book outlines the reasons why our children often do not learn how to become literate citizens. It then offers well-tested, well-proven solutions which my colleagues and I have been using successfully with students "at risk of school failure" for more than thirty years. This book outlines all of the things we fail to teach our teachers and in doing so set them and their students up for academic failure. Teach Your Children Well presents a results-based, radically different way to teach. The best thing we know about it is that it has been working consistently with any teacher and any child for three decades.
5. Five hours of personal coaching to solve any problems you run into. When you buy the Teach Your Children Well Reading System, you get your very own reading coach for up to five hours of troubleshooting assistance. All you have to do is dial the 10 digits of the exclusive toll free number that comes with your System and talk to your reading coach. This works well for both of us. In the last 30 years, we have seen just about every problem imaginable and have ready solutions to solve them. With other programs you can beat your head against the wall until it hurts too much to continue and then you abandon the program and feel like a failure. Not with us. Call your coach. Get the help you need.
6. A two-hour, by invitation only, special teleseminar on effective teaching methods hosted by Michael Maloney. This is a “Just Ask Michael” program in which common questions and concerns will be discussed to help you get it right the first time. Sometimes people are afraid to ask questions because they think that they should already know the answers.We want to hear those questions. There will also be information and tips to be downloaded from our website. This special, exclusive teleseminar will occur in early September. All you have to do is to dial the telephone number, enter the 4-digit password when prompted and listen in. You will be sent a reminder with your order.
7. A no-nonsense, complete, money-back guarantee if you return the materials in resalable condition within 90 days of purchase. If this program is not right for your children, we want it back. It is not allowed to sit unused in a box.

Okay, Michael, - I've read enough, how do I get it?

If you are not yet convinced that this is the best reading system available for any homeschooler, read what Penny wrote about how it helped her "at risk" children. It works even more quickly and efficiently with children who are not facing challenges while learning how to read. If you have a completely regular child, it will work wonders. If you have a child who is struggling, all of the research (2.2 billion dollars worth) would tell you to choose this method.

Dear Michael,

It is 12:30 am and I just finished reading your email and attachment. WOW! I was remembering the desperation I felt when I first met you. I remember many of the questions I asked as well as the time you spent listening to my ventures. I was also remembering the seminar you offered to precious few people in York and the training that you instilled despite the low numbers. I remember the times you counseled me over the phone and celebrated our victories with Daniel. I remember reading your book and dissecting each of the steps so that I could apply them to my teaching. I remember crying over word fluency lists that had more errors than correct words. I remember starting Daniel out at a reading rate of 22 wpm on a story that he had already read. What a journey, but look at us now! Daniel is graduated from TYC. Ben is on level 4. Andrew and Abby are in level 2. We have dotted all the i's an d crossed all the t's and my kids needed every bit of the instruction you offered and now I know, beyond any shadow of doubt, that all the bases are covered. I reaped a tremendous benefit from your life's work and I thank you.

With all that in mind, I put myself in the same mindset I was in when I first met you. I was asking a lot of questions. I was already leaning toward Sig Engelmann's book How to Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. Would I have taken the time to read your whole letter? YOU BET I WOULD. I was desperate, as most mothers are when their kids can't read. I would have clicked all the links, read your book, and talked to you personally. Frankly, this might come as a surprise to you, but it wasn't your "pretty face" or "beaming personality" that sold me that first year at CHAP! It was the fact that you had a product designed to meet my need. If I had received this mailing instead of meeting you in person, I would have traveled the same path.

Quite frankly, your price for the entire program is VERY REASONABLE. You should see what some homeschooler's pay for curriculum. Moreover, I know from personal experience, that you back up every word in that letter.

I have received those "card packs" in the mail and I have seen the one for TYC. When I receive anything that I am interested in, the first thing I do is check out the website. Then, I google it and then I check out any resources from the library, if any. Then, I may even post a message on our homeschooling email group asking if anyone has any experience with the product. If my need was great enough, Michael, I would have read War and Peace if I had to in order to find the right resources for Daniel.

So, to answer your main question: "Do I think homeschoolers will read this?" My answer is "Yes, if they are really struggling and desperate, like I was." Unfortunately, not all homeschoolers are equally resourceful or educated. If their children are apparently succeeding with ABC curriculum, they may feel that your program is for remediation only and stop reading the letter. After all, if it isn't broken, why fix it? However, for those that are resourceful and needy and looking for an excellent reading program, I think your marketing strategy is brilliant in that you cover all the material that you did with me in person via the mailing, website, and teleconference.

Take care and good night!
Penny

Okay, Michael, - I've read enough, how do I get it?

There are now two questions to tackle:

Question #1 - Should you get my Teach Your Children Well Reading System. I mean, is it really important? I actually have a simple way to help you decide.

Question #2 - How much should you cheerfully pay to get it?

The easiest way to find out if you really should buy my Teach Your Children Well Reading System is to see whether or not one or more of your children needs it.

There is a simple process for determining that. The system has four placement tests, one for each of the four major levels of the System. Each placement test takes about 2 minutes to administer. Sit down at the kitchen table and have each of your children read each of the placement tests. If the child makes four errors of any kind, they should be placed in that level of the System. Here's the plan.

1. Ask each child to read the placement tests that are given below beginning with the first one.
2. Count the errors they make. Here's what you count.
   1. Any word miscalled as some other word
   2. Any word omitted from a sentence.
   3. Any word added to a sentence
   4. Any ending dropped form a word.
   5. Any ending added to a word.
   6. Any guesses about what a word might be.

Do not prompt the student or coach them during the placement test. We want an unadulterated sample of their reading performance.

Remember - ANY FOUR ERRORS MEANS THAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS HELP TO LEARN TO READ WELL.

Placement Test #1 - Level 1

Holiday Fun

In the summer, my family loves to go camping. Usually we put up our tent in the woods beside a lake or a river. During the day, we swim, play games or go hiking on the trails in the forest. In the evening we cook dinner over a big campfire. After we eat we sing songs, tell stories or just lie on the ground gazing at the stars in the sky. It is so much fun that every year I can hardly wait for our holidays to begin.

If the student made 4 or fewer errors, proceed to Placement Test #2.

If the child made 4 or more errors, and is 8 years old or younger, this is the program they need.
If the child made 4 or more errors, and is over 8 years old, this is the program they need.

Placement Test #2 - Level 2

At The Circus

Today the circus was in town. It was a chance to see lions and tigers and clowns in bright costumes. I especially wanted to watch the famous flying pigeons. I visited their giant cage. I did a quick count. There were probably fifty pigeons inside. All of them had beady eyes as black as coal. They ruffled their glistening feathers. I stared at them but they ignored me. The announcer stepped up to the podium. There was a thunder of applause. I raced up the stairs to my seat. The circus was about to begin.

If the student made 4 or fewer errors, proceed to Placement Test #3..

If the child made 4 or more errors, and is 8 years old or younger, this is the program they need.
If the child made 4 or more errors, and is over 8 years old, this is the program they need.

Placement Test #3 - Level 3

Quite an Experience

Here I was standing in astonishment at the top of a gigantic skyscraper! The full moon was massive and seemed to hover straight overhead. Its brilliance reflected off the surface of the windows of each building surrounding me. I gasped slightly at the chill of the night and began to lament that I had not worn warmer garments. The mayor of our city, who was a notoriously dapper politician, and two jubilant astronauts were standing nearby, along with other equally captivated officials of the community. They were all watching with awe a group of amateur but nimble and very athletic entertainers who were performing a complex sequence of spectacular somersaults. I had never had an aversion to heights but I knew that I would never be courageous enough to join them so far from the ground. What an amazingly dramatic and splendid experience.

If the student made 4 or fewer errors, proceed to Placement Test #4. If the child made 4 or more errors, this is the program they need.

Placement Test #4 - Level 4

The Lewis and Clark Expedition

After the Louisiana Purchase, touted to be “the greatest real estate deal in history”, the American Midwest and West lay open as an enticing and expansive terrain ripe for exploration and adventure. Meriwether Lewis, an ambitious and no-nonsense young man, together with his close friend, Captain William Clark, and a contingent of Army engineers, were officially commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to discover a water passage from the Mississippi to the Pacific. It was a formidable task, one fraught with danger, deprivation and loneliness. The small band had to be forever vigilant of both hostile natives and a grueling environment. Despite a seemingly hopeless plight, they carried on, stoically and courageously. Close to three years after their departure, having conquered famine and fatigue, seclusion in the wilderness and the trek over perilous mountain ranges, they stood exhilarated by the sight of the Pacific Ocean. At that moment they were oblivious to their past hardships. They had succeeded; they were triumphant.

If your child did not make 4 or more errors, they do not need the reading program. If the child made 4 or more errors, this is the program they need.

The Placement Test Results

Okay, so now we have an answer to the first question. Now you know whether or not you need the Teach Your Children Well Reading System. If any of your children did make more than four errors on the placement test, you even know which level to order.

Now all you have to decide is - How Much Should You Pay for the System?

If you asked yourself, “How much is it worth to me to have my child reading fluently?”

The answer is “a whole lot” whatever that means in dollars, given your current income and budget.

If you sent your child to my learning center for one hour per lesson, you would have spent $2,400.00 for my services. Lots of people do that.

How about $199.95 for the entire System? That's about $3.33 cents per lesson.

I am not a greedy person, although like most of us, I am motivated to do well financially when I perform a valuable service.

I have also invested more than 40 years of my life into the learnings that resulted in this System. At this stage of my life, I am more concerned about making sure that the System survives me than I am about making another fortune. I take pride in the homeschooling teachers, learning center tutors and managers, and special education teachers who write me to thank me for helping them teach children and adults to read. But I am eager to make that list much, much longer so that this System becomes THE ACCEPTED BEST, MOST OFTEN USED WAY to teach children to read well.

I am telling you this so that you know why I have underpriced this System. If you are a cynic, you may not accept my explanation and actually that doesn't matter much. We each have our own views and I can respect your reluctance given all the “deals” floating around out there.

Okay, Michael, - I've read enough, how do I get it?
