Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons9619642
If you can give your child a thirst for reading, the complete world 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 procedure. When we attempted to use the exact same strategies with Hope, we discovered two things: Hope is not a visual learner and we really had no approach to teach reading! So with Hope we had to start from scratch. We discovered ourselves bouncing from one technique to one more, scatterbrained, but as well bad to place out the megabucks required for any of the flashier plans. And as you may well expect, we did not make a whole lot of progress. Then we stumbled across this guide! What a require it met.
Phonics-primarily based, easy to comply with, economical, nonconsumable, and self-contained, it was all that we were looking for. There are no workbooks, no flashcards, nothing fancy—just you, one-on-one with your child for 20 minutes a day.
Primarily based on the nationally profitable DISTAR plan, this program has been adapted for parent and child use, and seems 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 takes off working. 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! Soon after 100 lessons your child will be reading at a sound 2nd grade degree.
My only complaint entails the stories. There is a new story each and every lesson, beginning at lesson 13, and they are also silly for my tastes. But they had been the highlights for all our children, so I will not complain also loudly! Hope, soon after 50 lessons, was reading smoothly, writing brief “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 finished the system even though still 4, even though there have been days that we much more than exceeded the twenty minutes prescribed.
