Customer Reviews

Not for every child, but still a great book and resource...

We've used this book for 35 plus years in our house, all the kids and grandkids started their reading with this... Although it's great for most kid's, it wasn't helpful for me when I was learning to read as a kid, but that's not the books fault... You see I have dyslexia and don't know until I was in my 20s...I tell you this so that if you notice your child struggling with things like getting the lowercase b & d mixed up, or having difficulty with the different sounds a or e make, then you might want to do two things, one download the dyslexia font for your child (believe me it really helps) and two, be patient with them, reading hurts their eyes and brain...

This book is WONDERFUL!

I'm so impressed with how this book was put together. The lessons are fool proof for the parent, as they are written with detailed directions. New sounds are gradually worked into previously mastered tasks so that the child is never given more than he/she can handle (this does wonders for my daughter's reading confidence). Before you know it, your child is reading three and four paragraphs, and the process of getting there wasn't painful at all!One note: I have read other reviews from parents using this book with 3 and 4 year olds. Certainly, if your preschooler shows an interest in reading, this book is an excellent choice. But NOTHING will work unless your child is READY to learn, not even "100 Lessons." Reading readiness happens at different ages (like every other milestone in childhood), and we as parents must respect our children's personal timetables (difficult to do sometimes, I know). Hey, remember when WE were in kindergarten? We spent our days playing, painting, napping (do they even nap anymore these days). Reading came along in first grade, and many of us may not have been ready to learn until then.That said, buy the book and use it when your particular family is ready ~ ENJOY! :o)
