Approachable and clear. Very repetitive, but that is likely to hammer home the concepts so that you follow the steps correctly.

"The focus… is on empowering students to see themselves as readers, to focus on every small success, and to not draw attention to those who struggle and are reading below grade level." - CM Magazine

"It goes beyond a traditional flash-card approach where children recognize words as they are shown to them. LIFE brings in sound and memorization -- this is, auditory memory in addition to sight." - Welland Tribune
