I would recommend this book because I know it works. Maybe there are better ways to teach children to read, I don't know... but I do know that my son did learn everything we went over fairly easily. I tried to keep it fun, and had a lot of positive feedback to offer him to keep him going. Maybe we'll be picking it up when he's a little older. We'll see.

If you are going to use this book, just be encouraging, and have patience. I think this is the number one thing I see from parents/teachers/etc. who say they don't think their children like it. Don't focus on the mistakes. Allow your children to love reading. I would hate reading too if my parents were losing their patience while teaching me this science that will be with me for life.]]>
