Suggested Steps in Teaching
Reading using the Fuller
Technique
What You'll
Learn
1
Teach the child the name and form
of all the letters in the English
alphabet.
He need not know which are consonants or
vowels.
2
Teach him the consonant
sounds; review the form.
3
Present the words in each lesson
in a column with the use of a
window card or marker.

Say the first word in the column aloud to the child. Then move the marker down to the next word
and ask the child to read it. Because the words use the same endings, the rhyme will help him
recognize each word in the column.
Notification

-at -ag -ad

hat bag sad

mat tag dad


4
Go to the next column, pointing
out to the child that the ending is
changed. Begin the column and let
him read down the column.

Do not let him attempt to read across the page. This will confuse him.
Notification

-at -ag -ad

hat bag sad

mat tag dad


5
After the first five lessons, go
back to Lesson 1 for a review.

Let the child read the words down each column, then across the page from column to column.
6
In each of the succeeding lessons, the
child reads down each column and then
across the page from column to column.

He need not wait for 5 or more lessons to do this.
