Caption: Hazel Loring, from Birmingham, Michigan, is the author of "Reading Made Easy with Blend Phonics for the First Grade." This booklet was written to acquaint elementary school teachers with the phonics method of reading, which emphasizes sounds rather than word recognition. In the last two months of her life, she received 4,100 requests for the pamphlet from teachers around the country.
