Product Description

Take your child from no reading skills to the second grade level of reading! 20 step-by-step lessons are designed for parents of preschoolers who want to teach their children to read. A lesson introduction tells the parent what letter and skills are being covered; instructional pages feature illustrations or words for the child to read with small notes for the teacher where explanation or reinforcement is needed. Based on phonics, The Reading Lesson also combines key-word recognition and whole language elements. In every lesson, there are delightful stories that are simple, short and fun.

Each lesson teaches three to four sounds and introduces sight. Word recognition skills develop through the use of key words. Once these key words are learned using phonics, the child is encouraged to read them as sight words to gain fluency; the vocabulary of the program closely corresponds to the 500 most commonly used words in English. Softcover. Ages 3-7.

I taught my daughter to read using this book alone! We started when she was 4 and asked me to teach her to read. We completed two pages per day, a few days per week. By the time she started Kindergarten at age 5, she was reading at a 2nd grade level (level 2-3 readers, reading smoothly, able to sound out new or difficult words). The book includes both phonics and some sight words. The book is perfect for young children learning to read - it has cute little illustrations and stories. We did not want a "workbook" because my daughter did not know how to write yet - I just wanted to teach reading and this did the trick. I did not need to supplement, we just checked out leveled readers from the library for practice. It did not include difficult phonics like "aught" but that was easy to teach through reading real books.

Last fall, I purchased the book and CD-rom for my 6 year old.
It was a disaster. She quickly became bored with the CD-rom games and the book. There is very, very little in the book for the child to actually complete with a pencil. Plain black and white pages with me just reading, sounding out and having my daughter repeat. By Christmas, we were only on lesson 5 and couldn't take it any longer. Every time I would pull out this book, she would start crying and eventually we couldn't even get through one page because of all the crying. Just not worth it for me. We switched to MCP Phonics last month and I now have a child that is enjoying the learning to read.

This program is affordable and easy for the parent to use with a simple format and no distracting pages. I have already used it successfully with one child, and have just started it with another. You can also give your child the option of coloring the pictures on the pages if desired. This is a great choice for children easily distracted by busy pages and requires no preparation to teach the lessons. This program builds confidence early on, and you can customize the amount of time spent on each lesson to suit the needs of your child. Extra items are not necessary, although the Explode the Code series is a wonderful supplement.
