Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons738630

If you can give your child a thirst for reading, the whole world 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 procedure. When we attempted to use the same strategies with Hope, we found two things: Hope is not a visual learner and we truly had no strategy to teach reading! So with Hope we had to start from scratch. We located ourselves bouncing from one approach to yet another, scatterbrained, but too poor to put out the megabucks necessary for any of the flashier plans. And as you may expect, we did not make a lot of progress. Then we stumbled across this guide! What a need it met.

Phonics-based, 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 at all fancy—just you, one-on-one with your child for 20 minutes a day.

Based on the nationally effective DISTAR program, this system has been adapted for parent and child use, and appears customized-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 takes off working. We were doubtful at first, but right after going via it with four young children and hearing hundreds of “success” stories, we're believers! After 100 lessons your child will be reading at a solid 2nd grade level.

My only complaint involves the stories. There is a new story each lesson, starting up at lesson 13, and they are too silly for my tastes. But they were the highlights for all our young children, so I won't complain also loudly! Hope, right after 50 lessons, was reading smoothly, writing quick “stories,” and on her personal 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 completed the system while nevertheless 4, although there had been days that we far more than exceeded the twenty minutes prescribed.
