This was the only book/tool I purchased to teach my daughter to read. We began when she was 2, and she was proficient enough by age three to navigate her own computer. She continued to progress and was reading chapter books by age 4.
The most remarkable thing about being an advanced early reader is that learning becomes a geometric, rather than linear, progression. The more she read, the more she wanted to read, and absorption and retention became nearly second nature. Her reading & ... Read More
Rating:  - It works
I'll admit when I first got this book, I looked through it and said no way are we going through this. It looks cluttered and maybe a little confusing. I have a 4 year old and started off on my own to teach letter sounds and sight words (rather haphazardly). With limited time, she just wasn't learning very much. Finally I got the book back out and thought we would give it a try - what could it hurt (only 15 minutes). We are up to Lesson 37.
I have begun to really appreciate the system ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent if you are willing to use it daily for 100 days!
Using this book helped me teach my son how to read! It does as some critics have said on this site seem a bit goofy approach but it does work. I find it exercises your child's vision to read left and right and it helps with sounding sounds out. I used it everyday skipping only a few days and I feel that it is key to be consistent at progressing through it. I used a sheet of paper and wrote the lesson numbers 1-100 and next to each lesson number we wrote the date and put a sticker of my child's choice ... Read More
Rating: - A good place to start!
I didn't realize that reading is hard and how much work it takes to learn how to do it until I started teaching. As an adult, I took it for granted and didn't realize how many connections children have to make in order to learn how to read. I am now teaching my oldest daughter to read. I started with this book, but didn't understand its approach. I switched to another book (The ordinary parent's guide to reading) and it packed way too much in a lesson for my little girl. I spent two weeks on 1 lesson ... Read More
Rating: - helped create two super readers
I just purchased a new copy of this to use with my third child. I used this book with my older two kids and really enjoyed it. I started when they were pretty young--about four, so we went a little slower. Sometimes I would break up a lesson over two or three days. I know a lot of parents worry that if they push their kids to read with formal lessons like this, their kids will consider reading a chore and hate it. That hasn't been the case with my kids. They absolutely love to read, and they are really ... Read More
