Beats hooked-on-phonics hands down!

As a recent immigrant from Congo, I had difficulties reading thematic based topics in the English language. I found myself struggling with eveerything from business memos to advanced topics in scientific literature (particle physics, nanotechnology etc.). My boss told me to either learn a thematic approach to the material or to find another job (or get another Ph.D). This is when I turned to 'A community of Readers'. I cannot begin to sing its praises without bursting into tears. I recommend it to all.
