I really enjoy this curriculum! It is so easy to use, and my daughter is catching on very quickly! She already knew most of her letter sounds coming into Kindergarten, but this format helps her connect the sounds and feel confident about reading! I am very glad I did not spend the extra money for a more expensive curriculum when this one is working for us like a dream!

These are basic worksheets to use with a reading book. They match up well with "Noah Webster's reading handbook". They are black and white but do have lots of pictures. They are thorough and get the job done, but I have found they do not engage the child. My daughter will only do one side of a worksheet daily and cries if I suggest she do more. Still, they do a good job teaching for a great price and are definitely worth the money. But, if you have a child that needs some excitement--songs, poems, color--to keep them sitting and engaged, this is not the curriculum for you.

We enjoy this, although it would be better with correlating readers and spellers. It is worth the money.

Excellent value. I like the simple layout, whether for a child who is easily distracted or for someone who can move at a quick pace and does not need a lot of "busy-work." Be sure to use the activities in the teacher's manual (though I agree with others who have commented, maybe not all the writing). The teacher's manual is not long, but these activities are really needful to thoroughly master the material. You may want to do a quick search online for [free!] activities to supplement the concept of blending sounds together (c-a-t=cat), because this concept is not explicitly taught. On the whole, a great product.

I taught my son to read with this program last year. He was a little over 4.5 when we started with better than average motor skills. He already knew his letter sounds, but we reviewed them anyway. Adventures in Phonics is a great learn-to-read program. It is easy to use, and the simple, uncluttered teacher's manual lays out every step of the process. There is a LOT of writing in this book. We did ALL of the writing and my son had beautiful handwriting and was able to spell. Then about 2/3 of the way through the book he suddenly hated it. So I stopped all the writing and did the rest orally. However that was also a mistake as the writing really cemented his learning. Therefore I would recommend doing a little more than half of all the writing, and then leaving some blank on each page in case review is needed. I highly recommend the CLP Phonics K Readers that go along with this. The manual tells you exactly when to introduce each new phonics book. We are spending some time reviewing with a School Zone workbook and then we will continue with AIP B. Please consider saving your money over expensive programs and give this a try.

This book reminds me of the Phonics books used in schools when I was a girl. That was several years before the schools decided to dump phonics skills in place of sight reading. This is a no-nonsense approach to teaching Phonics and it works! Christian Liberty products are so reasonable in price and educationally sound.
