First Reader is a book written by Phyllis Schlafly to teach children how to read using phonics. After Why Johnny Can't Read (1955) shocked Americans at how liberals were failing to teach children how to read in school, particularly public school, Phyllis Schlafly embarked on a phonics-based approach and used its successfully for 60 years.
If kids fail to learn how to read -- as tens of millions fail to learn today -- then they will never be able to read the Bible.
California has the highest illiteracy in the United States, and other liberal-run regions are nearly as dismal in reading ability.[1]
Boys who grow up in an illiterate-dominant region has a life expectancy in England that is 26 years shorter than a boy who grow up in a highly literate area.[2]
