About Uncovering the Logic of English

Uncovering the Logic of English by Denise Eide reveals the logical patterns underlying 98% of English words, eliminates the need to guess, and provides a logical solution to English spelling. 

Simple answers are given for questions such as: 

1. Why is there a silent final E in have?
2. Why don't we drop the E in noticeable?
3. Why is discussion spelled with -sion rather than -tion?

As the rules unfold, it becomes apparent how vital this knowledge is for reversing the educational crisis plaguing America.
