 a great program November 21, 2009
Heather A. Phillips (kingwood,texas)
as a homeschooling parent,I have tried several things to teach my little ones to read.This is the best way that I have found.I don't believe that teaching sight cards is the best way.This actually teaches them to read!They are able to sound out words on the 10th lesson.It's amazing and I am very satisfied in this program.I highly recommend it to anyone who has a child that has problems with reading or is just learning to read.I have started my 3 year old on this program and he's doing well.My 5 year old is doing really well as well.
This is the book my mom used to teach me to read at 3 November 12, 2009

Wow, the cover brings back memories! When I was three years old my mom taught me to read using this book. I have very fond memories of doing the exercises with her, and my excitement when the lessons finally started to click. I remember feeling so proud when I could read my own storybooks! Thanks to this book and my mom's help, I have been a lifelong reader. I also believe that the method of breaking up long words into short sounds is what helped me understand spelling and made learning other languages easier. I'm now the mother of a two-and-a-half-year-old and I am looking forward to revisiting these lessons with him!
Just started and my son is already reading! November 11, 2009

I bought this book a few weeks ago to help my 4.5 yr old son learn to read before he enters kindergarten next year. We just finished lesson 12 last night and he is already READING! I spent a few hours reading and re-reading the introduction to ensure that I knew how to teach the material and sound out the letters appropriately. My son really likes doing the reading lessons. I highly recommend this to anyone trying to teach a young child to read.
It is really awesome. November 11, 2009

My son 5yrs old has articulation problem, so his speech teacher recommended to use this book.
First time when I oder this book, I was still wonder how this book is great even though I read lots of good comments.
However comments were so right!!!
My son has just practiced with this book for 2 months, but he really improved.
We just spend 5 or 10 minutes three or four times a week, not everyday. Comparing with his sister, I thought he was
apparently too late to learn reading, but it was not still late to start reading book for 5 yrs old.
He can read any short sentences or words during only for 2 months.
It looks so boring and not interesting book for kids, but you can help your kid. Any adult can help your kid.

My 5 year old son and I are on lesson 84. I am happy with the previous reviewers. The only reason I chose this book is because of other parent's reviews.
I purchased the book one month before my son started Kindergarten. I was a little concerned that the lesson plans would conflict in some way with his Kindergarten teachers' lesson plans but there have been no issues (mainly because the book is teaching reading skills at a level that the school will not teach until Grade 1).
I would say each lesson takes us 20-30 minutes. We have been doing one lesson a day/7 days a week and only missed one day. We do each lesson before supper time on weeknights and in the morning on weekends.
I have mostly followed the instructions but deviate on a few things. The book uses the term "fast" and I just tell my son to read the word at "normal" speed instead. I also was not very good at following the hold/move quickly instructions for their bullets under the words. We also just read the story one time during our lesson and then we read the story a second time to my wife near bedtime. This makes it more of a game because my son gets to ask her the questions.
The Pronunciation Guide is great. The authors did a super job here. The number of possible pronunciations per letter are kept to a minimum. For example, e has two sounds. It is either pronounced as in "eagle" or as in "etch".
I also think that the stories and drawings are very helpful at keeping my son interested. We both make a big deal out of "covering" up each drawing so we do not see it before we are supposed to.
I noticed my son did struggle a bit with the transition to "normal" words at lesson 74 but he seems comfortable with the words/stories now.
Overall, a super resource to teach your child to read!
