Desktop Publishing
I have had 16 hours in graphics education, and worked for a publishing company and a newspaper.

I start with what the child knows in terms of pronunciation and phonics and work from there. Without the proper knowledge of phonics and sounding out words, it interferes with the reading process. Dictionary use is emphasized in order for child to use research and learning words on their own.
