Biography

He published ten books on education in America and spent much of his career investigating the decline in American literacy, the reasons for the high rate of learning disabilities in American children, the reasons behind the educational establishment in America's support for sex and drug education, the reasons for the number of children labeled ADD, and the school system's refusal to use either intensive phonics in reading instruction and memorization in mathematics instruction. His commentary on education issues and his following as a speaker brought him to lecture in every state in the United States as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and England. He was internationally recognized as a leader in the intensive, systematic phonics movement.

Blumenfeld wrote for many online and print sources on a variety of subjects. His writings appeared in such diverse publications as Home School Digest, Reason, Education Digest, Boston Magazine, Vital Speeches of the Day, Practical Homeschooling, Esquire, and many others. Blumenfeld also wrote for Robert W. Welch, Jr.'s John Birch Society.

The purpose of the Foundation is to restore high literacy in America by disseminating Dr. Blumenfeld’s effective and easy-to-use methods of teaching reading among parents and schools at little or no cost.

Shakespeare authorship question

He was active in the Shakespeare authorship question and theorized that Christopher Marlowe may have written many of the works attributed to Shakespeare. His 2008 The Marlowe-Shakespeare Connection is profiled on http://www.marlowe-shakespeare.blogspot.com, where he was also a regular contributor.
