Learn to Read Activity Book

The Learn to Read Activity Book allows a child to achieve almost immediate success reading simple words in just a few lessons. This progress will often spark their interest to continue to learn. The book is extremely methodical and systematic and follows a very logical order. It starts by introducing single letters, then goes on to introduce your child to word families like "at" "ot" "it" and so forth. Your child will only encounter three letter words until lesson 41 where simple sight words like "I" and "A" are first introduced. The activities are quite exciting, the letters and pictures are sharp and big, so your child has no problem reading them and stringing vowels and words together. Sight words are only introduced occasionally, but the bulk of the book focuses on regular three letter words that your child alone can put together after he's given the tools and taught all the vowel sounds. Four letter words which the author calls blends (words like "clip" and "club") are first introduced in lesson 49! The lessons are clear, concise, and easy to implement. Each lesson is two pages in length. One side is parental instruction (review, share the objective, demonstrate reading new words, and practice) the other side is the activity.

Note: this book does not teach the long vowel sounds, only the short vowel sounds. 206 pgs, pb. ~Amber
