Customer Reviews

Children love to learn!

I've used this book for several weeks while teaching my daycare children their letters and sounds. The children have caught on very quickly and have fun learning! This is an awesome book to use! EVERY teacher should have this book!

A wonderful tool for teachers and parents alike

I used this book to teach phonics to my 3-year-old, and she loved all the activities and picked up the sounds immediately. She also retained what she learned and is able to apply the sounds to new words. This book has so many fun activities that it is hard to choose which ones to do! All preschool teachers should have a copy of this book! So many educators rely on vague theories, but this book gives concrete, how-to advice.

Primarily designed for traditional classroom instructors

Explained techniques include word walls, personal flashcards, drawings, word books, and other parallel extension activities in this superb guide for teaching young ones preschool through third grade to read well and love it. Although primarily designed for traditional classroom instructors, Ready, Set, Read is also very highly recommended (and "user friendly") for homeschooling parents as well.
