Category Description for Pathway Reading:

An Amish reading program which portrays a lifestyle in which people cherish Christian traits, and in which children gain insights into how to behave! Families are large and stories are centered around the family and farm. The stories are interesting to children if our kids are any indicator! One of my favorites is a story from First Steps in which little Rachel discovers, after attempting to help mother shell peas, that watching baby Miriam really is a good way to help mother with meal preparations!

Although many of our customers use the readers as a standalone, we carry the complete reading program, including teacher's manuals, workbooks, and tests or quizzes where available. Instruction is plain and effective, with minimalistic black and white illustrations, which makes this series affordable and user-friendly. Please note that the Teacher's Manuals are necessary for Before We Read, First Steps, and Learning Through Sounds 1 and 2.

Package content varies. Each package includes the Student Text, Student Workbook, and Workbook Teacher Manual. Where available, packages also include the Tests and Test Answer Sheet and/or Quizzes and Answer Sheet. While these tests and answers are not part of the original Amish reading program, they were created to meet the needs of homeschooling parents outside the Amish classroom. Flashcards are included in the Grade 1 package. See individual packages for more information. Consumables are not reproducible, so each student will need his/her own workbook, tests, and quizzes.

Packages include the student text, student workbook, teacher edition of the workbook, test, and the test answer sheet.

We used Pathway readers as our main readers as our children grew up. The Pathway readers have good moral stories about children and their families that kids can consider, as they work through the series grade by grade building their reading level and vocabulary. (There aren't any creepy occult subjects in the stories either, which was important to me.) I am purchasing a second set of these Pathway readers so that I can loan them to our grandchildren.

My struggling reader middle child finally, after much prayer and many days of diagraphs and phonics workbooks, started to read more fluently. He presently is in first grade, and I noticed he loves reading the Days Go By book more than other book in the house. It is simple enough to bolster his reading beyond the BOB books, and I like the clean content and beautiful simplicity of the Pathway Series.

We love this series of readers. There are Christian values being taught and solid character is being built. The workbooks that accompany them are great for teaching vocabulary, phonetic rules, and checking comprehension. A great all inclusive curriculum that is simple and complete.

I've used Pathway Readers for decades! I love how they depict values such as hard work, honesty, and mercy. Their hardcover binding is very pleasant in the hand.

The Pathways readers are my second grade son's favorite early readers, we have tried several different companies and styles of readers, and these are the ones that my son requests next. so, I am not even bothering with others anymore. They are lovely and innocent, yet the children in the stories have problems that are realistic with a good resolution and lesson. Good values and morals all around.

We have been using this reading curriculum since we started Homeschooling in 1st grade I really like the way this book and workbooks review phonics introduce new words to add to their vocabulary the stories are easy to read and not boring and then they have a thinking about the story page for reading comprehension My son is doing excellent at reading and I really think it is this easy but thorough program I recommend it all the time to fellow homeschool moms You can not beat the price of the books period but Rainbow Resource always has them at an even better price Thank you!

These readers are amazing My daughter is interested in reading them and she is now reading fluently The stories are interesting and there are new words listed at the bottom of each page so that you can discuss them before a child tries to read them Also the companion workbook is great It reinforces spelling skills as well as reading comprehension This is an extremely well done set and I expect us to continue using it up through the last one
