I have read the other messages but for the life of me I can't figure out how you were able to achieve high grades in school unless your mind was extremely adept at making imaginary pictures while you were reading textbooks. As for federal (sic) schools -- what do you suggest instead? Private schools teach reading the same way public schools do (I went to private school for preschool, kindergarten and grade 1-6) plus I'll bet nearly everyone here went to one or the other and we managed to learn to read just fine.
