Great book, NOT SPIRAL BOUND

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 23, 2023

After teaching through this book with several youngsters, the convenience of a book that would lay flat got my heartrate up. I even considered cutting my book to pieces. However, when the book arrived, it was a conventional binding. I sent it back. Maybe I should have cut it up??

This book is well written and the lessons flow very nicely! I have to put some excitement into it and pretend the lessons are like games or fun competitions to keep my 4.5 year old engaged, but besides that, I can tell he's going to be able to read by the end of the 100 days no problem.

My one complaint is that the book was delivered damaged. The top right corner is water-damaged and crinkled, but I DID buy it second-hand for $15, so I can't complain too much. It's still easy to read and doesn't affect the quality of the lessons.

Used for kids aged 2-4, they hate the book but it works to teach them.

Painful and boring, but it worked.

We started working through this book with our 4-year-old boy at the beginning of the Covid lockdown (mid-March) and we just finished Lesson 100 today (mid-August). As others have said, you REALLY need to read the front-matter before you start. The first dozen lessons or so were SO painful that we had to bribe our son to do it... Each Lesson contains 8-9 Tasks, so after he finished each Task, we'd give him a chocolate chip. Yep. We were reduced to bribery. Once we were about halfway through the book, we promised we'd throw him a "Chocolate Party" if he finished. We even started referring to it as the "Chocolate Book" so that he wouldn't come to associate reading with how boring/difficult the book is. We hit a real low once the book switched from the special orthography into normal writing. Lessons were taking over an hour at that point. He'd be crying. We'd be crying. It was tough. But we reminded ourselves the Chocolate Party was coming and we endured. The last 10 lessons went faster since he pretty much knew how to read at that point. Sooo, did it work? Yes. He is a 4.5 year old who can read and is proud that he can read. Would I go through that again? Only if there's another Global Pandemic.

So Far so Good

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 13, 2021

I started working through this book with my 3 year old a few months ago. Since she is a bit young for the program we are taking it really slowly (we've made it to lesson 7 over the past 2 months). I go very slowly and spend less than 10 minutes each time so that it is still fun for her and never gets to be discouraging.

Today, at lesson seven she read the words "met" and "mat" and "me" and a few others and she was SO PROUD of herself. It encouraged both of us to keep at it. She then flipped through the rest of the book on her own sounding out any of the letters that she has learned so far and had the time of her life.

As the parent/teacher, the book felt a bit daunting to get started with. There are a lot of instructions to read, and some of the ideas are a little counterintuitive, but I'm confident that if I stick with their program, we will continue to make slow and steady progress.

It’s plain and simple but to learn to read things don’t need to be fancy.

This had my son reading in less than 10 lessons! It was recommended by an online mom’s group. I’m so thankful I found this book, it worked like a charm. My son grew in confidence and became very excited about reading. He went around the house sounding out every word he saw.

My Daughter is Learning to Read!!

My six year old daughter is building lifelong skills with this program. It’s easy for me to follow to teach her. It’s repetitive but that’s what she needs in order to build reading skills. I highly recommend.

If you follow the steps...Yes your child can read perfectly in 100 days

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 23, 2020

I have started using this book when my older son had only 3 years old...His teacher suggested to me to work extra on his reading as she thought he has the potential and he is very interested. I have started with this book and after 30 lessons he could read. He is 5.5 years old now and reads grade 3 books. The lessons were so easy to follow, however, as a suggestion to the author for new edition it would be great if they add some colour into this book and make the stories at the end a little more interesting. I am now practicing this with my other son again as his teacher suggested the same thing, maybe a little later than my first one though. He is 4.5 years old and I found that the story is a little less boring for him compared to my older son when he was reading the same thing in younger age so we can go through more lessons before he gets bored.

TWO SUGGESTIONs TO PARENT:

1-It is not important how many lessons you go through each day, BUT it is very important to have a little time allotted EVERY DAY constantly, preferably at the same time and same location.
Lessons are so easy to learn and so easy to forget if you don't practice them every day.
2_ DO NOT SKIP LESSONS...you might find your child is so advance to go through all the steps, but when you get to the later lessons, you find WHY it was so important to follow through all steps, and why the authors strongly suggest the same thing over and over. If you don't go through all the lessons, the later more advanced lessons won't go as smooth like the first ones.
and PLEASE take time and read the authors forward or the book INTRODUCTION before you start any lesson with your child.
GOOD LUCK!

I started my first 3 kids on this at age 3 and it worked on all of them, reading before their 5th birthday. (NOTE: they're too young to draw out the letters at that age so skipped that part, and only did a page a day, not a lesson). probably a little boring if your child is older than 3, but it works - just need to do something everyday at least a page so the kid gets the memory of it down.
