Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons1040966
If you can give your child a thirst for reading, the whole globe opens to him. We saw it with Joy, who at 6 was reading at a level twice her age. But for Joy, a visual learner, the procedure had been an easy, practically effortless process. When we attempted to use the identical approaches with Hope, we discovered two things: Hope is not a visual learner and we really had no method to teach reading! So with Hope we had to start from scratch. We located ourselves bouncing from one strategy to another, scatterbrained, but also bad to place out the megabucks required for any of the flashier applications. And as you may possibly assume, we didn't make a good deal of progress. Then we stumbled across this book! What a require it met.
Phonics-based mostly, easy to follow, inexpensive, nonconsumable, and self-contained, it was all that we were looking for. There are no workbooks, no flashcards, nothing at all fancy—just you, one-on-one with your child for 20 minutes a day.
Based on the nationally productive DISTAR program, this system has been adapted for parent and child use, and would seem customized-made for the home school setting. Yes, this strategy does use visual clues in the first 80 lessons, but then they drop the clues and your child will take off running. We were doubtful at first, but right after going by means of it with four young children and hearing hundreds of “success” stories, we're believers! Right after 100 lessons your child will be reading at a strong 2nd grade degree.
My only complaint involves the stories. There is a new story every lesson, starting up at lesson 13, and they are as well silly for my tastes. But they had been the highlights for all our kids, so I will not complain as well loudly! Hope, following 50 lessons, was reading smoothly, creating short “stories,” and on her personal picked up and read other "easy" books. She finished the book before her 5th birthday and effortlessly moved into a 3rd grade reading text. Grace also completed the plan even though nevertheless 4, though there had been days that we much more than exceeded the twenty minutes prescribed.
