"I have spent years of my life being passionate about literacy and reading... In college I took a path that led me to keep teaching younger and younger children, trying to figure out why they were not prepared until I began directing childcare centers in 2015. I keep hearing/finding the same things. Children are not being taught to read! And parent/teachers have no idea this is happening until about 2nd or 3rd grade. The main reading curriculum is not scientifically researched or backed! Being an educator in this work, I recognize all the care, thought and research it takes to create a resource like this that is so easy for children and facilitators to understand and teach!” —Brittany Lemons, Family and Community Engagement Specialist–Birth to Five Illinois

Reviews

Good learning book

"Easy to follow. Good lessons for learning to read."

Reader (4/5)

Takes patience and is rewarding

"Supportive in helping my son learn and navigate reading. Learning for adults too…need to do some prep work to make sure teaching the lessons as described. Make sure can carve out at least 20minutes a day."

1984Reader (5/5)

Prepares you well, easy to follow

"Very good for preparing to help a child learn to read. There is a great section on how to think about sounds and preparing yourself, it made me think about how I form sounds and proper enunciation before we began."

Annon (4/5)

Easy and organized.

"Simple and step by step. I bought it after several other homeschool moms recommended it. Takes a few minutes to learn how to use it as the teacher, but totally worth it."

Emily (5/5)

Perfect for parents and teachers

"This book breaks things down in perfect sized lessons and in a scientific Love you backed way. As a teacher I love this!"

Jess (5/5)

We like it

"The lessons are well designed and relatively short, so they are easy to do with a young child. I appreciated the extended explanation for parents."

LA C. (5/5)

Halfway in, I would recommend this 100%!

"Half way through with my 4 and 6 year old after about 2 months, their reading improvement has been incredible! Love how it's laid out with narration for the parents, the flow of the lessons becomes consistent after lesson 10, they know the routine and flow right through it now. It was hard to get started but glad we have stuck with it."

Laurenlh93 (5/5)

Quick Reading Lessons

"My granddaughter is autistic and this slow-paced formula for teaching a child to read is perfect. Having said that, this book is not specific for autistic children--it's for all children who may be lost in the public school system. For example, the units are only 15 minutes long and have a tactile element as well as verbal."

Susan C. (4/5)

Terrible

"Tedious, too long and drawn out. It oversimplifies things by repeating way too easy tasks like consonant sounds but at the same time makes it too complex by adding strange accents to the letters."

LAM. (1/5)

Helpful

"We haven’t finished the full book but it is definitely helping my children to be more confident readers."
