Easy to Use, Highly Effective Resource for Improving Literacy!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

I am thrilled that I made this purchase and now have such a wonderful resource to add to my collection. I took my time reading this book cover to cover and have learned so much more about what I thought I already knew. This OG approach to reading instruction is highly effective because of the explicit teaching paired with a multisensory approach. The book is nicely organized with lessons ready to go. I love that each lesson is very clear, easy to follow, and that it provides you (as the instructor) with background information on the WHY behind different rules of our language. It's important for our students to know the WHY behind rules, too, so this part is very valuable to me. Other helpful pages found within this resource include assessments and letters to parents/families. The pages for parents are helpful for them to understand ways to promote literacy in their homes. I do a lot of intervention work with struggling readers, mostly K-2. I am excited to begin using this resource with them and see the growth they make. I know it will be very successful. This resource will help all of your readers who struggle with phonics, reading fluency, and spelling. The authors of this book also have supplemental materials that align well with this book. So happy with this purchase!

Good guide for struggling homeschooler

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

Some background: My oldest (almost 8 yrs old) is likely mildly dyslexic (no need for diagnosis at this point, so it's just a guess based on observation) so we put off formal reading lessons until we felt she was ready (waiting until after she turned 7) and then turned to this book as a guide for a systematic approach. She knew her letter sounds before beginning this program.

We finished the first (and longest) unit in approx 5 months with some breaks scattered in there. Overall this is a great book and could stand alone as a reading program or be used as a go-to resource in the classroom setting. I used some ideas from additional research to try and spice things up or keep the lessons interesting. For the most part, things are clearly laid out, it's very repetitive which is how OG lessons should be. There is built in review. It's really been just what we needed for our oldest. She is now reading diagraphs, cvc words, and plural words. And my younger daughter has benefited from it as well - at not even 6 yrs old she's reading on the same level as a first grader.
The only down side is that I've found two errors within the last lessons and review pages - the use of a sight word that was not taught and a typo where quotations were only partially used (not closed), nor were they ever explicitly taught within the lessons (thankfully I've addressed this with my kiddo so she knows quotes mean that someone is speaking).
We will continue with this book after a bit of a break and I expect it should get us through several grades of reading lessons. Overall, I'd buy this again because it's a straight forward, open and go lesson plan for an OG program without the outrageous cost of becoming certified to teach OG.

Update: we are a little over a year into our use of this book and I recently discovered that free digital resources are available from the authors. I've just emailed them and they promptly replied with a link to those resources. My two children are now solidly reading multi-syllable words thanks to this book. We intend to use this book as our sole source for a reading program in our homeschool.

Good first impression

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

I haven’t used this in my classroom yet, but I will update the review once I see how it goes with my students in the coming school year. I am excited to start using it!

First impressions:
-It does a nice job keeping explanations simple.
-It includes the vital components of the Orton-Gillingham instructional approach.
-I received OG training from IMSE, so the sequence of letters is different (IMSE uses Recipe for Reading).
-I feel like the sequence of instruction beyond the first unit (later skills like blends, syllabication, vowel teams, etc) is more clear in this book than in Recipe for Reading (which is why I purchased this book).
-The simple pretests and post tests for each unit seem like a helpful feature.
-I’ve already caught a couple small typos, which isn’t a huge deal, but not what you want to see in a published book.
-I would like to see some sentence dictation for students to practice writing complete sentences. In each lesson, there is a section for students to read sentences that utilize the featured concept. I might just use half the sentences for students to read and use other half for dictation sentences.
-I don’t see much for morphology (root words, affixes, etc). It’s a more advanced concept, so maybe (hopefully) the authors are planning on a second book with higher level/older grade skills.
-I like that there are short decodable texts included in each unit (as well as comprehension questions).
-This is very user-friendly! You don’t have to sift through long explanations...it’s short, to the point, and ready to use with students. :)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 16, 2021

This book provided a step-by-step outline of introductory lessons for teaching beginning phonics. It did include pre- and post-tests for each unit and decodable stories after each unit. However, I was hoping the book would have outlined more of the strategies and activities used in the Orton-Gillingham approach (it mentions a few but doesn't give a detailed explanation of how each works). It is a good resource book for different types of syllables and how each can be taught. It also includes spelling rules to cover each syllable type.

Excellent resource for intervention

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

I am using this book to guide intervention in my 1st grade classroom, but as a former home schooling mom it would be great for that use too. Each lesson is clear and systematic and includes opportunities to read and write each letter as well as multisensory activities. Each lesson builds on earlier lessons and there are periodic mini assessments and progress checks.
My students appreciate the variety of activities and I appreciate the word lists that accompany each lesson, no more thinking on the spot of words to match a specific sound!
Over all it's a good value book and a useful tool to be able to draw on.
