See Georgia Army National Guard Literacy Training Project Video made at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
The We All Can Read program began as an adult literacy program; we have a good video introduction to our program made by the Georgia Army National Guard. Sometimes adult students think phonics is a subject suitable only for children; the video made by the Georgia Army National Guard is an excellent way to introduce the program to adult students because they see that the program is used successfully with soldiers.

Gerald LeBlanc was convinced he would never be able to learn to read; after nine weeks of instruction at Griffin Technical Institute, he was chosen as a star student because of the dramatic progress he made.
"The program they have is We All Can Read, and it teaches you the phonics, the sounds of your letters.
And without knowing the sounds of your letters, you really can't read. And I'm reading,
and I'm also spelling words I never thought I could ever spell."
Author of We All Can Read discusses value of program to adults.
"The good news is anyone, virtually anyone, can become a successful reader regardless of that person's age if that person receives instruction in systematic phonics. And that is what this program is designed to do. I am going to provide you in a very structured, sequential way with all of the information you are going to need to be able to look at a word, sound that word out, and accurately read the word. Not only that but you will also gain the skills necessary to be able to spell words with a high degree of accuracy. And that is what systematic phonics is designed to do."
