About the Author

“I should have listened better to my intended while we were dating” He told me he wanted a large family. He mentioned something like “The 12 Tribes of Clonts” but more fool me, I thought he was kidding. When you combine his resolve with my familial heritage – you end up with a lot of boys. In our case it was 7 boys with 1 girl to give me strength to mother 7 boys. My boys seemed to have a limitless amount of energy and so it became harder for some of them to concentrate in school. In trying to help, I began reading books about “How to Teach” etc. What I learned lead to my creating “I Can Do It Myself” a Phonics to Reading Program. Each boy had varying needs or challenges, which brought about nips and tucks in our system. Our reward came in seeing our children’s amazing progress in school. Trudy came into it, when her children received copies of “I Can Do It” and found that learning Phonics could be easy and fun. Trudy lives in San Diego, California and has three children and 7 Grandchildren. Trudy had her own very helpful input, plus she discovered a talent for editing. We gave out our phonics book to nieces and nephews and they found themselves ahead of their class in reading. Along came Grankids who naturally got their copy of “I Can Do It” Phonics Program, and they too found themselves not only ahead, but usually way ahead of their class in reading. So what with one thing and another, we have been able to test our Phonics→ Reading Program on over 100 children with unbelievable results.
