About the Author
Although the son of a schoolteacher, Vann Alton Daniels was a poor reader. He struggled to complete his studies and dropped out of college twice.
At the age of thirty-three he taught himself phonics and was finally able to read well enough to be successful in college. He graduated cum laude with a B.A., M.A. degrees in Music Education and psychology (MFT) and credentials to teach and be a school counselor.
Out of Vann Alton Daniels' success with phonics came Phonics Mnemonics. It is dedicated to your success in reading and in life.
