An educational device and method for the individualized teaching of reading employing a series of page panels each including elongated word-well slots. Pieces depicting letters are placed into the slots to form words and sentences corresponding to a learner's own speech and mental image of the story idea. The learner illustrates his talk placed in the slots by drawing on a disposable sheet mounted onto each panel. When the child expresses a sequence of mental images, one per panel, the panels are inked to form a book depicting an original story. The child then masters his own speech forms (talk) at the reading level. In learning to read his own speech he can more easily read what others have written.
