ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

A helpful tool
~ Written on Apr 27, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

Of the several resources I gathered to help me and my first grade granddaughter, this is the one I saved. There are helpful tests provided to determine current reading level and to assist with developing a strategy. It also covers the behaviors to expect from a struggling reader. No they aren't lazy, or necessarily hyper. Trying to read is somewhat punishing and they'll do almost anything to avoid it, including multiple trips to the restroom. An excellent reference. Time for me to review it again myself.

Help for parents

My six year old son is in the first grade and is having a lot of trouble with reading. I was hoping that this book was going to help, however my son has a visual processing disorder that I did not know about until after I purchased the book. Although I do believe this book will make a world of difference for some children that are having a hard time with reading, it will also provide great insight for the parents. I am not a teacher nor do I know how to teach a child to read but this book let me in on simple things I could do to help him. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to help their child learn to read, but follow the advice in the book, have the child's hearing and sight checked. Visual processing can not be diagnosed with the vision chart used at school, they need to be tested by pediatric optometrist.

This book is wonderful! My child can hardly wait to do the next lesson! This book is a must have tool for parents and educators to help struggling children achieve reading success. I like how simple everything is explained, and my child loves the games and actually reminds me that it is time to do the work!

Helped a Pre-K 4 Student

I used this book to begin teaching my 4 year old to read in September '06. I used its easy test to determine her reading level was at 1. We worked for several weeks doing 15 minutes or so a day. We first worked on the letter sounds she didn't know and rhyming as they were her weak points. Soon she was reading short three letter books to me. After she was on her way, I went for a parent/teacher conference and let them know what we had been doing at home. The teachers were wonderful and began working with her immediately. I just retested her to see what level she was at and she was beyond the book's levels. Hooray. While this might not be the saving grace for everyone, it certainly did what I wanted. It helped me teach my child to read!

Very good book for children at all grade school levels. This book has some very nice activities that kept my little girl interested for much longer than most other teaching aids and her reading skills have improved! She's just in kindergarten but this book can help her for several more grades.
