Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons9135447
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 procedure had been an easy, virtually effortless approach. When we tried to use the same methods with Hope, we identified two things: Hope is not a visual learner and we genuinely had no strategy to teach reading! So with Hope we had to start from scratch. We discovered ourselves bouncing from one approach to another, scatterbrained, but too poor to put out the megabucks required for any of the flashier applications. And as you may possibly count on, we did not make a good deal of progress. Then we stumbled across this guide! What a want it met.
Phonics-primarily based, easy to comply with, affordable, nonconsumable, and self-contained, it was all that we have been looking for. There are no workbooks, no flashcards, practically nothing 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 seems custom-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 working. We were doubtful at first, but following going via it with four children and hearing hundreds of “success” stories, we're believers! Right after 100 lessons your child will be reading at a reliable 2nd grade degree.
My only complaint requires the stories. There is a new story each lesson, starting up at lesson 13, and they are too silly for my tastes. But they have been the highlights for all our children, so I will not complain as well loudly! Hope, following 50 lessons, was reading smoothly, creating quick “stories,” and on her personal 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 although nevertheless 4, even though there had been days that we much more than exceeded the twenty minutes prescribed.
