Book Reviews of The Three R's
Book Review: A simple, straightforward plan for teaching your child
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems like the most effective ways to teach children are often the most easy to overlook. This wonderful book shows parents and teachers how to utilize simple, low-cost means to give their young children a strong start in learning.
This book has been most helpful in our homeschooling adventure and was key in pulling this over-achieving, by-the-book teaching mother away from the need to keep to a rigid schedule and actually enjoy teaching and learning with my children.
Highly recommended.
Book Review: Big Things, Little Package
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a well written, easy to use guide. It includes a handy phonics chart, and a math chart on the reverse side. You certainly get a lot of bang for your buck. The only downside, is that you need to have some familiarity with phonetic sounds, (i.e. the actual sound) that the dipthongs, digraphs, phonograms, etc. make. Otherwise, this book is spectacular.Book Review: Fundamental Homeschooling Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the fundamental homeschooling books -- useful for parents of children up to about age 8.Book Review: Great Investment
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was recommended to me for homeschooling my 4 year old daughter. It is a great reference and will guide the first few years of learning without the pressure of workbooks and textbooks. Learning is not only hands-on but also fun. We have just begun the first part of each section and as my daughter grows, we will move on to the more challenging parts. Most importantly, she has begun to read and sound out words! This is great for the busy mom since the book is very succinct and can be easily read in 1-2 sittings. Although I read the entire book, the first part of each section is all you need to read to get started with a 4-5 year old.Book Review: Must Have for Homeschooling Parents!
Summary: 5 Stars
I refer to this book often to help me stay on track. Its contents offer straight forward advice on teaching in the early grades. You'll even find it beneficial to read this book when you have a preschooler, to get an idea of what lies ahead and what to do when your child is ready. In addition, reading this book will help the homeschooling parent in choosing curriculum, not with specific suggestions, but by general ideas offered.
The included wall chart of phonics and numbers has been helpful, but leaves something to be desired in the way it was printed in only blue and yellow ink. It's just bonus material. The book is your investment.
