"Parenting is hard. If you are reading this, you are likely a very concerned parent who is looking for guidance about how to help your child who is using substances (or engaging in other risky behaviors). You may have mild concerns about your child's focus at school, choice of friends, new "minimalist" communication style with you, or you may be facing sudden and terrifying changes. Whatever your particular mix of worries as a parent, your child's drug use (including alcohol) tends to make it that much more nerve-racking--sometimes explosive." From introduction, page 1.

This one book supplies parents with all the tools they need. Over the years of her teaching career, Jessie Wise has seen good reading instruction fall prey to trendy philosophies and political infighting. Now she has teamed with dynamic coauthor Sara Buffington to supply parents with a clear, direct phonics program—a program that gives them the know-how and confidence to take matters into their own hands.
