What Customers Say About Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons:

We are now going to try BOB books. I was wrong. I thought if I skipped through some of the begininng it would not be so boring to him.

The main reason, he can't read. After the first two days with it, he wants nothing to do with it. My son is going through kindergarden again.

It is sooo slow to begin. (Which he wanted to try in the first place). I thought this book would help.

He was easily bored with it.

I really love the way my son was able to comprehend and sound out words instead of relying on picture clues, he was able to use context clues for meaning. Writing daily in his journal. One of the main points I would like to make is the positive reinforcement that the book encourages.

Very satisfied. In the beginning he wrote or dictated and I would rewrite with correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. In addition to this program we wrote in a journal that had space for a picture and lines for the story.

I am thrilled with the outcome of this reading program. My son is ready to enter 1st grade and is testing on a teachable 3rd grade, independent 2nd grade level. By the middle of the year he was writing independently full sentence and at the end of the year he was able to write a paragraph.

Using the pictures as a reward and also as a tool for testing comprehension is such a valuable tool. One word of caution, some stories also add a chance to make moral lesson such as the teasing or stealing content in a few stories.we went to lesson 79 and then stopped the program and moved into short chapter books.

His 9th grade PSAT scores indicate that he may become a merit scholar in 11th grade. This was extremely fortunate because the vast majority of children entering this class knew how to read at a fairly high level. I was investigating various gifted private schools on behalf of my son who was going to be a first grader. At a few schools, I was told that my son would have to repeat kindergarten because he couldn't read and everyone entering first grade knew how to read. Three years later, I once again pulled out this book to teach my daughter to read as she was entering kindergarten at another gifted school. After a few more months, he exchanged places with a profoundly gifted child in the fast group. Lest anyone doubt that this product doesn't impact learning in the long-run, my son's 6th grade overall ACT score matched the average ACT score earned by seniors in our state.

Because of this, I simply set up an external reward system (M&Ms) to motivate my son. In our case, urgency rather than student interest led us to purchase this book.

After a month or two, she retested my son and he was assigned to the slower 1st grade group. is five points below mine and yet his 9th grade PSAT reading score is already 6 points above my 11th grade PSAT reading score.

During one tour, I started crying because the preschool class was learning the exact same thing being taught in my son's rural kindergarten class. His I.Q.

I encountered a master teacher at one school who told me to get this book.

I am indebted to this teacher who set my son on the right path.

(It's not one you just crack open and start, child at your side). The difference between reading levels of my little girl vs other (also very bright) kids in her preschool class is amazing.

I am stunned to think that the people in our nation who are functionally illiterate could have learned to read as four year olds--maybe five year olds--with this program. Every child should have the opportunity to have such early success with reading.

On lesson 38 with my 4.5 year old daughter. My child is in preschool, but homeschooling mamas recommended this book.

Astounding. Slow start with the lessons; in fact we had a false start and came back to it a bit later after I had done a better job educating myself on the program.

I had never heard of this or direct instruction before this.

I love this book. When my son was starting kindergarten he was having problems with the reading. I have recommend this book to a great deal of my friends. It's a must have in your collection. But at the end of the kindergarten he was improving so much that his teacher was very surprised. The teacher also ordered this book for her children.
