Description
Four years after using this book to learn to read at age 4, our twins would still take this book off the shelf and re-read the silly stories that made learning to read immediately rewarding. It is a phonics-based, non-consumable book authored by Siegfried Engelmann using the DISTAR method. Faced with two small children eager to read like their older sisters, but who were not ready for the more intensive writing and spelling drills that accompany most other reading programs, I was at a loss. All they needed at this tender age were enough decoding skills to enable them to read. We had already covered letter sounds (via song), so the twins literally zipped through the early lessons and quickly digested blends, vowel sounds, and digraphs, thoroughly enjoying every lesson. In fact, they begged for "extra" lessons, anxious to get to the next story! The large and bold type of the text material also encouraged them to keep learning because they experienced little eye strain. This volume filled a need in our own family, and judging from the numerous requests/recommendations by our customers, it has done so for others as well.
Recently revised and expanded, this popular phonics program is now even better! While most lessons are essentially unchanged, some lessons have been updated to put a greater emphasis on the pre-reading skills of blending and fluency or reading with expression. Parents will appreciate the revised Practice Guide that offers more background teaching support and teaching strategies. The Practice Guide section concludes with a key exercise checklist for parents to review the vital teaching strategies before applicable lessons. The book concludes with helps to teach additional decoding skills and supplemental materials that includes a Lesson Progress Chart, Template for Sounds-letter writing paper, game ideas, and more. Making a solid, homeschool phonics program easier to teach and more effective, this revised edition of Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons will help your child develop important reading skills with the love and support they need.
