Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons7316230
If you can give your child a thirst for reading, the complete planet opens to him. We noticed 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, virtually effortless method. When we attempted to use the same approaches with Hope, we identified two things: Hope is not a visual learner and we genuinely had no technique to teach reading! So with Hope we had to start from scratch. We identified ourselves bouncing from one technique to an additional, scatterbrained, but also bad to place out the megabucks required for any of the flashier applications. And as you might expect, we didn't make a lot of progress. Then we stumbled across this guide! What a need to have it met.
Phonics-based mostly, easy to stick to, affordable, nonconsumable, and self-contained, it was all that we have been looking for. There are no workbooks, no flashcards, nothing fancy—just you, one-on-one with your child for twenty minutes a day.
Based mostly on the nationally successful DISTAR program, this system has been adapted for parent and child use, and appears custom-made for the home school setting. Yes, this technique does use visual clues in the first 80 lessons, but then they drop the clues and your child will take off operating. We have been doubtful at first, but after going through it with four kids and hearing hundreds of “success” stories, we're believers! After 100 lessons your child will be reading at a sound 2nd grade level.
My only complaint includes the stories. There is a new story each lesson, commencing at lesson 13, and they are as well silly for my tastes. But they have been the highlights for all our youngsters, so I will not complain also loudly! Hope, after 50 lessons, was reading smoothly, creating quick “stories,” and on her very own picked up and read other "easy" books. She finished the guide before her 5th birthday and effortlessly moved into a 3rd grade reading text. Grace also finished the plan while nevertheless 4, even though there were days that we a lot more than exceeded the twenty minutes prescribed.
