easy way to teach my kid how to read. He is 4 years old. We are now about to finish the lessons and this book was the only book I used to help him read and it is so helpful. Now he can read. thank you.

My 5 year old was getting bored with his first set of reading books and needed something more interesting and challenging.  These are perfect.  They're colorful, humorous, and he finds the simple story lines interesting.  A great way to further his reading skills.

UPDATE 2017: I've now used this to successfully instruct two children how to read. It's perfect for us. Simple but effective. I recommend it to everyone.

We are currently using this to teach my kindergartener his phonics lessons. He is already reading, but I want him to have an understanding of how language works. I appreciate the teacher notes in the back and the simple, uncluttered lesson pages. Check out the publisher's website for multitudinous videos to convince you to go with their program. This is recommended by Laura Berquist in "Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum" as well.

I will update my review when we finish the book.

I used this with my son right after he turned 4 and not only is he now a great reader, he was begging to do the lessons!  Sometimes he would want to do 7 lessons in one day!  He is 5 and reads books that are geared toward 3rd graders.

I bought these for my 5 year old son who just started Kindergarten. He is now able to read all of the books with very little help. I would consider him an average student and these books really have made him excel in the reading department. Simple words, with accompanying drawings to match make them perfect for his age.

Perfect format for a beginning reader. Don't buy it for the content (it can be kind of random) but for the large type, bright illustrations and just the right level of challenge in the vocabulary.

There are only about 3 sentences on each left-hand page, and each right-hand page has a large comic book illustration. It sounds like a rip-off, but it was actually a huge confidence builder. My beginning reader loved the satisfaction of turning the page so often, and the books are quite thick (lots of pages!) Now that my reader has grown past this level, my little pre-schooler loves having the book read to him, and is starting to recognize the words by sight.

My son (just less than 4 yrs)was reciting books to me from memory and saying "look mommy I can read".  After explaining that what he was doing was memorizing which is wonderful, I said if he wants to be able to read any book he wants then I would teach him to read.  I went to our parent teacher section in our library and took out multiple books on teach your child to read.  I found that we kept coming back to this book and I kept renewing it, returning it and getting it out again.  Why?  Because it is laid out in order with the activities/worksheets in order that you can just open to where you left off and continue learning, no prep work for the parent.  As a mom of 2, Time spent on task versus Time spent prepping a lesson is important to me.  This book is great for pacing how to introduce phonics sounds.  Starting them to read with only 3 sounds to start and adding 3 more sounds with each lesson.  Takes the child from sounding out every word to recognizing words on sight. It can be done multiple pages a day or one page. We didn't use a set schedule, when he asked to read we did it.  I never pushed every day and he's doing very well with sounding out 3 and 4 letter words.  Love the set up, Love the results.  He's not quite 4 1/2 yrs now and asks daily to read in his book.  For parents with little time to prep but who want to do it this book is perfect.

The title says it all. I bought this for my "learning to read" grand daughter and she loves it. Great!

My grandson, who is in kindergarten, came home one day and announced that everyone  in his class could read except for him. I knew this wasn't true and wanted to find a way to show him that he could read. I ordered the first two sets of books and when they came we sat down to read. He was able to read the first book with very little difficulty. He was so pleased with himself!  It was easy going from there, we are now on the fourth set of books.

This book was a great start to getting him to read more. He reads below his grade level so anything that he will read is a blessing. He will never get better if he doesn't read.

Some of the words were a little harder for a first time reader but overall he liked reading the book! Very cute!

Our six-year-old grandson is learning to read, using The Reading Lesson interactive program. He needed to type in his responses to the written parts of the lessons, which are presented in lowercase letters. The colored keyboard stickers not only solved that problem, but has also helped him remember the letters easily. A color other than black would be a big plus for the letters q-a-z.

My son is in first grade and was able to read the whole thing with minimal help. It had enough words to challenge him and taught him a couple new ones.

My 4 yo grandson loves magnetic letters but is not that good about keeping them together.  This is perfect for that and also helping him to learn to spell and read.  I think the chalk side could be a little better but that's not what I bought it for.

This book has worked out great for my 5 year old who is struggling with learning to read. Other phonics programs were boring and the sentences didn't make much sense, but somehow this book manages to gently teach sounds and quickly your child will progress to reading mini-paragraphs, boosting their confidence.
