Yeah,

I've had the glue ears as well.

I love teaching when they've had
a good long session with a SaLT
.....they know what to do re sounds 
then it seems to me.

I thoroughly approve of the synthetic
evangelists on the point of "pure"
sounds. I sure hope everybody heads
thataway. The Salt taught kiddies
do it properly too.

I hate, abhore, cannot understand the 
alphabet arch system of a/ay - buh/b - cuh/c - &etc
..... how to confuse in one easy few seconds'
burst of meaninglessness. The double plod
carefully said is just more useful...as is touching
the letters as you go.

....the old s-t-u-v-w sequence problem still crops up
no matter what. & good old Sesame Street still gets
a hum along at the beginning of my lessons....though I'm
not supposed to hear! <VBG >.

I must admit I was very impressed with the RML
course I went on... but I'm still going trout fishing
on selling lessons methinks....like Champion the Wonderhorse
not everyone will ride it as it goes so confusingly fast.
