Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons: Revised and Updated Second Edition Paperback – 15 June 1986

I have completed 10 lessons from the book and my daughter (4.3 years old) has already started reading small words (like mat, am, seat etc based on the sounds she has learnt so far). I am excited to see the progress and look forward for more learning. The lessons are simple and short. All the chapters have sound writing practice and revisions for all previous sounds that have been learnt by your child. This is a great resource and I would recommend to all parents who want their kids to develop love for reading from early childhood. I do one chapter each day and if my daughter is not in mood I skip a day in between but not more than that. You will find first few lessons to be very simple but I would suggest not to do more than 1 lesson a day and also do not rush finishing the lessons. Each lesson takes around 20 mins and should be done that way for your child to remember each sound. My daughter always remember the sounds when we do new lesson so time spent on each lesson is important although you may feel like finishing it quickly. I am planning to finish all lesson in next 6 months (given the later chapters may need some revision and also the breaks that you may have to give your child). Please try this book and I am sure you will not regret it. Another important point that I want to bring into notice that you practice the sounds yourself first before teaching your kids. It is essential that we tell then the right way of pronouncing the sound. It matters a lot. There are guidelines and suggestion on those things in the beginning of the book. If you are still confused please do check some videos on Phonics on you tube. I wish the book included some CD with all the sounds in it.

As a parent, this has to be one of the tools for a child's literacy journey. The simple, bite-sized lessons have been designed remarkably such that my 4 year old daughter has jumped leaps and bounds in her reading abilities and has since been trying to read any word that she sees anywhere. One of the best investment ever!

I cannot thank this book enough. My son is five, and he knew the alphabet. But he did not understand how to blend the sounds. This book has a very step by step process. But if you are sticking to the book, follow it till the end, as it has its own method of teaching. We are on lesson 30, and he is able to read 3 letter words and small sentences.One thing that we did extra was made flash cards of all the sounds mentioned in the book. So we practice putting the cards together to make words. There are small black and white illustrations for comprehension. Overall I totally love it, and so happy that we got it.

Useful

Just buy this if your kids need help with reading or blending. It's not for quick results.First of all it's all up to you and your dedication to make this work.It has all the instructions provided on each line on how to talk to kids ,how to explain,in simple ways ,so easy for them them to grasp.I have tried many phonics classes and materials,but this beats it. For me and my kid this felt more natural way to read.Go slow, 1 lesson a day, don't skip any,repeat if needed, it will take time like 100+/- days, but it sticks with them.

I'm teaching my 7year old to read, she was finally ready and she's been racing through the book. I'm on lesson 50 and doing well. Things to remember, you can do a lesson everyday and finish in about four months but don't, take your time, go back back and forth between the lessons for phonic fluency. Allow your child to lead the way. There's absolutely no hurry or pressure in learning well. What I really like is that every word you need to say is scripted and helps take the burden of you to prep before each lesson. All the best 👍🏽

Good

It's help parents to teach children English very well.must buy.dont give up continue after some days you can find out differece. But do not teach some words how to sound out and long vowels clearly.but afterall its a mind blowing book. Must must buy book.
