Phrases See What They Say – Section Two, has prepared children to easily read Stories See What They Say. To begin with, there are 40 “Very Short Stories”, and then 20 “Short Stories”. Clues are given only on the letters that make more than one sound, and on the digraphs – ch, sh, th, etc. This book is amazing because it has absolutely NO sight words! Meaning that your child can still sound out everything, without having to memorize a single sight word! I’ve created a visual way to prompt little ones to read in different tones; making it easy to add expression and meaning to those words. This book will greatly improve fluency as they read sentences 3 times in a row, doing something different with it each time, so it’s not boring. This repetition increases their confidence and love of reading, because it is DOABLE and fun! Most importantly, it will keep them focused because it is Multiple Sensory: using Sight, Hearing, Touch.
As in the Phrases book, every upper case and lower case letter is used multiple times. As are all short vowels, all long vowels, and all silent vowels. Every consonant blend and every digraph are used multiple times too! A lot of thought has gone into this wonderful book to make sure your child/student uses ALL that they’ve learned multiple times. Plus, they will be introduced to two-syllable words, compound words, and more punctuation marks. As you will see in the following video, a fun thing you could do is to make a book with empty pages, and let your child make their own little illustration to go with the story.
This is a fun book for learning how to read, and with my way, your child will never mispronounce a word. And that’s a Big Deal! I’ve learned through this process of working with children, that the first attachment to a letter’s sound is the most powerful. It sticks.

Evelyn Meikle –
Kindergarten is not what it used to be! The effects of “No child left behind” is that the schools are pushing students in Kindergarten to become readers, even those who are barely five years old and are not interested in reading. My granddaughter has struggled and cried over learning to read until she started working with Doreese Severe after school. Doreese has created a reading program that helps those lines on paper make sense to a five-year old. She relates pictures that children are familiar with to teach letters and the sounds they make. Doreese has analyzed a multitude of sounds that we read and has written interesting stories that use only those introductory sounds. The stories contain long sentences with words of two or three syllables. The stories also encourage vocabulary development.
