Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons5538143
If you can give your child a thirst for reading, the whole world opens to him. We noticed it with Joy, who at 6 was reading at a level twice her age. But for Joy, a visual learner, the procedure had been an easy, virtually effortless procedure. When we tried 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 approach to an additional, scatterbrained, but as well poor to put out the megabucks required for any of the flashier plans. And as you may anticipate, we did not make a whole lot of progress. Then we stumbled across this guide! What a need it met.
Phonics-primarily based, easy to adhere to, low-cost, nonconsumable, and self-contained, it was all that we have been looking for. There are no workbooks, no flashcards, nothing at all fancy—just you, one-on-one with your child for 20 minutes a day.
Primarily based on the nationally successful DISTAR system, this plan has been adapted for parent and child use, and appears custom-made for the home school setting. Yes, this strategy does use visual clues in the first 80 lessons, but then they drop the clues and your child requires off running. We had been doubtful at first, but following going by means of it with four children and hearing hundreds of “success” stories, we're believers! After 100 lessons your child will be reading at a solid 2nd grade level.
My only complaint involves the stories. There is a new story each and every lesson, starting at lesson 13, and they are too silly for my tastes. But they had been the highlights for all our young children, so I will not complain too loudly! Hope, following 50 lessons, was reading smoothly, writing brief “stories,” and on her very own picked up and read other "easy" books. She finished the guide before her 5th birthday and effortlessly moved into a 3rd grade reading text. Grace also completed the plan while still 4, although there have been days that we far more than exceeded the 20 minutes prescribed.
