Ehrlich’s core teaching strategy is "decoding." She encourages the learner to become an active participant in the reading process. For example, in the unit on prefixes, she introduces the prefix contra- (against). Rather than simply providing a definition, she demonstrates its application in words like contradict (speak against) and contrary (opposite). This fosters a habit of deduction; the learner is trained to look for the "clue" within the word.
: Readers learn to recognize recurring word parts (roots) from which multiple words are derived.
