Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons7369333
If you can give your child a thirst for reading, the total planet opens to him. We noticed 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, almost effortless process. When we experimented with to use the exact same strategies with Hope, we found two things: Hope is not a visual learner and we actually had no technique to teach reading! So with Hope we had to start from scratch. We found ourselves bouncing from one strategy to another, scatterbrained, but as well poor to place out the megabucks essential for any of the flashier programs. And as you may well anticipate, we didn't make a whole lot of progress. Then we stumbled across this book! What a need to have it met.
Phonics-based mostly, easy to stick to, economical, nonconsumable, and self-contained, it was all that we had been 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 mostly on the nationally successful DISTAR system, this program has been adapted for mother or father and child use, and seems customized-made for the home school setting. Yes, this method does use visual clues in the first 80 lessons, but then they drop the clues and your child takes off operating. We had been doubtful at first, but 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 sound 2nd grade degree.
My only complaint involves the stories. There is a new story every single lesson, starting at lesson 13, and they are too silly for my tastes. But they had been the highlights for all our kids, so I won't complain as well loudly! Hope, soon after 50 lessons, was reading smoothly, writing short “stories,” and on her own picked up and read other "easy" books. She completed the guide before her 5th birthday and effortlessly moved into a 3rd grade reading text. Grace also finished the system whilst nevertheless 4, however there were days that we far more than exceeded the twenty minutes prescribed.
