About our reading books and the author - Leonard C. Duncan is the father of five daughters, and he taught them as well as thousands of children in grades 2-8 to read during his 37 years as a schoolteacher in the South Bay. As an elementary teacher, he added the technique of phonics to the sight reading method used at the time, introduced a list of essential words for reading at any level, and put an emphasis on spelling. Now, in his seven books, children, parents, and teachers can utilize the reading, spelling and vocabulary building methods Mr. Duncan used in his classroom. Mr. Duncan currently tutors ESL students in Los Angeles.
