Have you always believed English is illogical and inconsistent?

Participants will learn:
• The rule which explains the two sounds for C in accent and describes more than 6,000 words!
• Three of the nine reasons for a Silent Final E.
• Why we drop the Silent Final E in servicing but not in serviceable, and much more!
• Why many math and science minded kids struggle with reading and spelling.
