Noah Webster's Reading Handbook

When Noah Webster first published his Blue-Backed Speller more than 150 years ago, it was an instant success. Why? Because it gave young Americans a solid foundation in reading, phonics, and spelling. You'll find the same holds true of this updated edition of Webster's classic. Appropriate for any grade level, it's an effective tool for teaching basic phonics skills and principles. 138 pages, softcover from Christian Liberty Press.

This is a very basic reading book--no frills. It gets the job done but would be difficult to hold the attention of a wiggly child. However, if you are a creative teacher, you could use it only as a guide and create your own songs, games, etc. around it. My daughter will sit fairly easily and was reading words within the first week. However, at times she does resist doing it probably because it can be a bit boring.

Excellent book that could be used as a starter reading curriculum. I have found it helpful and refer to it often. We use it for spelling lists too. Uncluttered, without loads of pictures to distract. Could be used with any phonics based workbook.

Everything you need to teach your child to read. It is bare bones basic but it gets the job done. Coordinates perfectly with CLP's Adventures in Phonics A worktext. I also reccomend getting the CLP Phonics Readers. It's all available right here at CBD.
