If you can give your child a thirst for reading, the total globe opens to him. We saw it with Joy, who at 6 was reading at a degree twice her age. But for Joy, a visual learner, the method had been an easy, practically effortless process. When we experimented with to use the identical methods with Hope, we discovered two things: Hope is not a visual learner and we truly had no approach to teach reading! So with Hope we had to start from scratch. We identified ourselves bouncing from one approach to another, scatterbrained, but also poor to place out the megabucks necessary for any of the flashier packages. And as you may possibly anticipate, we did not make a great deal of progress. Then we stumbled across this book! What a want it met.

Based mostly on the nationally productive DISTAR program, this program has been adapted for parent and child use, and seems custom-made for the home school setting. Yes, this approach does use visual clues in the first 80 lessons, but then they drop the clues and your child takes off running. We had been doubtful at first, but after going by means of it with four youngsters and hearing hundreds of “success” stories, we're believers! Soon after 100 lessons your child will be reading at a solid 2nd grade level.

But they were the highlights for all our young children, so I will not complain as well loudly! Hope, following 50 lessons, was reading smoothly, creating short “stories,” and on her very own 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 system while even now 4, though there had been days that we a lot more than exceeded the twenty minutes prescribed.
