A very special learning process employed can be described with six words: Trace\/Check\/Erase\/Next and Easy\/Speedy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLearners begin by tracing letters and words on transparent overlays--then erased in the same way for further use. This, in effect, repeats the tracing process, reinforcing learning and retention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShouldn't it mortify us to the core that so-called third world countries like Bolivia and Cuba are leaving us behind in terms of literacy, thanks mainly to the Spanish language's nearly perfect spelling system? Use of The Training Wheels Alphabet Book will effectively close this gap.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLet's bridge it without delay!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendell H.
