EXPOSED:

- Educational malpractice on a scale that can only stagger the imagination and shock the American people;
- How the child is made completely dependent-right through to junior high school-on controlled-vocabulary books. Who benefits from this;
- How three-quarters of the juvenile offenders in New York City are retarded in reading;
- How the Army teaches young men how to read - after the public schools call them hopeless;
- How the sight-vocabulary establishment got its stranglehold on the teaching profession. How it keeps control;
- The lengths to which whole-word advocates go to avoid mentioning the letters of the alphabet;
- Why left-handed children are particularly harmed by the whole word method;
- Why children taught by the whole-word method don't realize they should read from left to right;
- The "Johnny" Rudolf Flesch wrote about: now he's an adult. And he still can't read;
- Walter Cronkite warns of the dangers of a TV audience that is illiterate;
- Why the educational establishment fights anyone who pushes reform;
- Why some children develop a hatred for school and disrespect their teachers
