One and one and a half would have been great starters for my kindergarter. I purchased these two to finish out year and found them to be a great review.

Homework is not a problem for our little one. She dives into her book each day with smiles. The repetition has been just the right amount as she learns to apply it to her reading. The pictures are sometimes tricky to decifer what they are meaning. Once that is figured out she can do the book on her own. Writing and reading together has been a key to her young awakening to books.

I ordered ETC 1 for my 6 year old son. He's had problems with reading, especially without pictures. He is what you'd call a 'highly distractable' child, with ADHD and the resultant problems with his focus and memorization. I bought it as a supplement to our other phonics work (AO Lifepacs, An Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading, and Reading Eggs) because even the basics were not clicking for him and he was becoming frustrated with the entire process.

This book works on vowel sounds and basic blends. The child needs to have at least a basic understanding of the consonant sounds- although my son struggled with this and is actually picking them up more quickly as he works his way through the book. The black and white pictures that some other reviewers call cheesy are helpful, without being a distraction. They don't dominate the page and make him use his own decoding skills to figure out the words and sounds. The repetition is WONDERFUL. Each lesson takes a basic sound and blend and uses it in several different ways so it engages their little minds
and sticks!

The first few days, he needed me to sit with him and explain what to do on each of the different types of pages, but after that, when he begs to do phonics (which he does! It's a HUGE step up from the dreading it like he did) he grabs his ETC, sits at his desk and goes to work on his own!

I would HIGHLY recommend this book, especially if you have a reluctant learner, or a slow reader.

This product gave my girl the basics she missed at school. It seemed too basic at the beginning but it developed at a rate that my girl never noticed she was making progress, but she was, so she never resisted it. It was easy, she had fun coloring the pictures and she was able to use her new learning on her reading. Mommy is happy! and my girl feels more confident writing and reading every day.
