The Wilkie Reader Jim Wilkerson

The Wilkie Reader may be the funniest way ever to learn the alphabet. The book's rhyming and clever letter descriptions are a joy to children but are also perfect tools for any adults who wish to learn English. Each letter "lesson" can be enhanced by asking the students to use the letter or letters in random items around the room. "How many d's do you see" "Door, dog, dime, donut, and den" would be good answers. As the students advance we could ask for items with the letter sound somewhere else in the word. "Where else is the d" "Body, food, red" would be good examples. The Wilkie Reader opens the door for learning and the teacher can be as creative as he or she wishes with the alphabet road map provided.
