Book Reviews of Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons
Book Review: Truly Effective Instruction!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a special ed. teacher who uses the DI method with my LD kids. I bought this book to use with my own son. He learned to read fluently using this book. He is way ahead of his classmates. So much so, that he goes to a higher grade for reading instruction. Those who think that reading is taught by the whole lang. method have failed to produce any scientific studies to substantiate their claims of its superiority. The method employed in this book has proven itself time again for years. Just try it and you'll be amazed!Book Review: We Taught Our Four Year Old How to Read
Summary: 5 Stars
We are half way through the book with my four year old daughter. I'm amazed at what she has learned. I whole-heartedly recommend this for any parent.Book Review: Great Book and a must for a caring parent.
Summary: 5 Stars
I taught both my girls to read with this book. It put them well ahead of their classmates. You can see them change and their curiosity explode. I modified the program, depending on their interest level, just a little to keep them interested and it worked out fine. A small price to pay for such a wonderful gift.Book Review: GO GET IT!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book works! We taught our 6 year old to read when she was 4. Now she is in 1st grade and her reading skills are off the charts for a first grader. She has no problem reading the way her teacher is teaching the other students and enjoys helping and reading to her classmates.We are now on lesson 25 with our second child, she is 4 also and progressing well. She had a harder time getting started, but once she realized she could learn to read, each lesson has been easier to complete.
This is the best method of teaching your child how to read. The SRA system of learning has been around for years and has been a poven method of teaching children.
It's also a great way to spend some QUALITY time with your child.
Book Review: This book short-changes the reading process.
Summary: 1 Stars
This book instructs you to use distorted print and contrived stories to teach your child to read phonetically. According to current research on reading acquisition, this method is not appropriate! Yes, children need to learn phonics. But do not short-change your children by using phonics-only driven text, such as this book recommends. Using phonics alone is like playing a game of baseball with only homerun potential. (Yes, McGuire can hit homeruns...but how valuable would he be to his team if that was all that he could do? Or, how successful would Pete Sampras be if all he could do is hit backhands?) Children need to learn phonics in the context of real reading. Use environmental print (store signs, street signs, labels, etc.) and beautifully illustrated, rhyming, repetitious children's books to expose young children to written language. Through the use of high-interest children's books, children will begin to understand phonics. In addition to phonics, they will begin to understand ALL of the clues used to decode print (sentence meaning, sentence structure, picture clues, parts of words and background knowledge.
If you have questions about appropriate ways to help your children learn to read, ask a teacher, a reading specialist or send yiour questions to me via e-mail. (I work with educators and parents throughout the USA on the topics of parent involvement and family literacy.)
Learning to read goes far beyond phonics, contrived stories and distorted print as this books recommends.
