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.

These books provide excellent reading practice for a student with ADD since the pages do not distract.

I used these books to homeschool my daughters. The stories were character building and interesting at the same time. My daughters enjoyed them and when they enrolled in public school in 6th and 8th grade, respectively, each of their reading levels were ranked as top of their class.

I have been using the Pathway Readers since my daughter began reading, I love the simplicity of the stories and how easy it is to connect with some of the characters experiences and values. There is so much variety and knowledge in these books. The progression with respect to level of difficulty and study words were very well thought out and executed throughout the series. My daughter enjoys the stories and sometimes goes back to read them again. I also enjoy them, as she reads for me.

Charlotte C on May 10, 2019
We have read through all the previous books and this is the next one we haven't yet used; the kids enjoy these stories; they want to see what happens next and I like that the stories have good lessons in them beyond just getting them to read.
Heather L on May 7, 2018
Love the lessons that are taught through the kids lives in these stories!

The Pathway Workbooks and Readers that my son has been using for the last two years have been perfect for learning basic English, spelling, vocabulary and reading.

My second grader takes these to school as extra reading. She loves them and is about to finish the 3rd grade books. Should be enough to get us through Summer break as well.

A solid reading choice for learners
A good book for 4th or early 5th graders. Simple stories with clean family values. The coordinating workbook is helpful in teaching vocabulary, sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, etc. I highly recommend this. I have used Pathway readers in our homeschool for my kids since their kindergarten year and will continue.

Suggested by Dianne Craft for struggling readers
I am a Certified Learning Specialist for the Dianne Craft "Right Brain" Learning System. This book is recommended by Dianne Craft for struggling readers. This series of books is similar to Orton-Gillingham books in that it introduces sight words slowly. This allows the teacher to help a student "pre-read" words, as suggested by Dianne to help build reading skills successfully. To learn more please visit rightbrainconsult.com
