Abstract
A method of providing an instructional scaffold to person learning to read English language comprises displaying printed matter to the learner in the form of lists. Preferably text stories. The normal spacing of the letters in words is kept intact; in a first part of the method the rime portions of monosyllable words are bolded and made larger than the onset portions; and in a second part of the method, which also may be used independently, the sequential syllables of multisyllable words are emphasized by alternating plain font with bolded font and the long vowels are identified, for example by underscore, again with the words of any text being kept intact.
