 Taught my 5 year old to read November 11, 2009
P. York (Minneapolis, MN)
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!

I bought the Your Baby Can Read package and I was surprise to learn that it does not teach children phonics... This book actually teach children to read. It's just realy dry reading. I have enjoyed reading it. Now, I will need to practice the teaching techniques that's described in this book--that's the hard part.
Highly Recommend This Book!!! November 2, 2009

This was the first purchase we made when we decided to homeschool our daughter. We began this book when she was 3 yrs old and she was reading way before we were completely through the lessons. Her reading level was tested at a 6th grade level when she was in Kindergarten! I recommend this book to everyone when asked what to use to teach reading. It was not only easy to use but fun as well!
It worked for us! October 29, 2009

We worked with our 5 years old on it. After two months she started reading.
Great book! October 25, 2009

Borrowed from a friend and lessons went well so we bought the book. Lessons are short and, so far, easy for both the parent and the child. If you want to teach your child to read because you're homeschooling or because they are ready to read before they can begin kindergarten, then this is an excellent option. No materials needed except this book, pencil and paper. This is also good for getting kids to really listen to the sounds that make up words.
