I tried with my son when he was 4.5 years old, he too was bored. Now he’s in kindergarten and it’s sight words and cvc. I’m going to try this book again along with Kumon. Thanks for the tips on keeping the reading journey a fun experience.
April! Thank you for sharing your experience with this book! I want to ask what program or book did you move onto for your son & how is he responding to it? Thx for your help!
Hi Tonika! I basically pieced together a curriculum for him and did the following: 1. Learned letter sounds through Jolly Phonics videos 2. Practiced one letter sound a lesson with a hands on activity (if he needed more practice we spent more than one lesson on a letter) 3. Phonemic awareness: - isolating beginning sound - isolating each sound in a 2-3 sound word - blending isolated sounds in 2-3 sound words 4. Reading 2 sound words (ex: in, at, on) 5. Reading cvc words (this is where we are right now) I hope my explanation is helpful. I might make a video on how exactly if there’s interest.
This is my 1st time using this. Is there support materials, manipulates etc. ANYTHING? I've been teaching for over 30 years. I can make them, but time is at a premium
@@poodlegirl56hi I’m so sorry I’m just responding to this. Currently there is no supplemental resources that go hand in hand with this curriculum. My son needed more than just the book so I had to piece it together myself
Hope the reading is going well! I don't have a specific curriculum to recommend, but I do have some tips. Once you finish with this "Teach Your child to read in 100 lessons," I would suggest getting her into real books that she would like to read independently. Also supplement with phonics activities that support teaching multisyllabic words.
Honestly, I currently don’t have another book- more so steps when teaching learners how to read: 1. Phonemic awareness 2. Letter sounds (I used jolly phonics to help with this 3. Blending vowel consonant words (ex: in, it, an) 4. Blending consonant vowel consonant words (cvc words like sit, cat, man) 5. Decodable sight words 6. Reading phrases 7. Reading sentences You can also use the book as a guide to come up with activities that are more engaging.
Have you tried this book? Let me know how it went!

So glad this was helpful! So exciting he’s reading cvc words! I would look into decodable sight words or heart words when teaching him sight words.

I got this. Ok and am going to work with my daughter over the summer with it. My question is what comes after this. What curriculum do you recommend?
