- Still Reaping Benefits Five Years Later
This was the only book/tool I purchased to teach my daughter to read. We began when she was 2, and she was proficient enough by age three to navigate her own computer. She continued to progress and was reading chapter books by age 4.
The most remarkable thing about being an advanced early reader is that learning becomes a geometric, rather than linear, progression. The more she read, the more she wanted to read, and absorption and retention became nearly second nature. Her reading & comprehension proficiency enabled her to learn every subject at an astonishingly accelerated pace. Whether she was reading about the habitats of certain animals, math word problems, or a story, learning came easily.
My little girl is, from a completely unbiased assessment, extremely bright; she is not a genius. She is now 8, and has remained far above grade level while attending Montessori and Parochial schools. ... Read More

- It works
I'll admit when I first got this book, I looked through it and said no way are we going through this. It looks cluttered and maybe a little confusing. I have a 4 year old and started off on my own to teach letter sounds and sight words (rather haphazardly). With limited time, she just wasn't learning very much. Finally I got the book back out and thought we would give it a try - what could it hurt (only 15 minutes). We are up to Lesson 37.

I have begun to really appreciate the system it uses. There is a lot of repetition in the beginning which she needed. After the first lesson, I didn't read the parental stuff and I don't go as slow as the book suggests on each lesson. My daughter whips right through the sounds and then we struggle with figuring out the words. We do go back over the previous lesson each time we sit down with it again. She has really gained reading skills very quickly and can ... Read More

- Excellent if you are willing to use it daily for 100 days!
Using this book helped me teach my son how to read! It does as some critics have said on this site seem a bit goofy approach but it does work. I find it exercises your child's vision to read left and right and it helps with sounding sounds out. I used it everyday skipping only a few days and I feel that it is key to be consistent at progressing through it. I used a sheet of paper and wrote the lesson numbers 1-100 and next to each lesson number we wrote the date and put a sticker of my child's choice next to it each day. And it really gave my son a visual of how far along he was and he liked that he was getting quite a collection of various stickers on his sheet. When he was done the sheet was like a badge of honor of how hard he worked. It still hangs on our wall. Invest in the book as well as your time (15min a day for 100 days)

- A good place to start!
I didn't realize that reading is hard and how much work it takes to learn how to do it until I started teaching. As an adult, I took it for granted and didn't realize how many connections children have to make in order to learn how to read. I am now teaching my oldest daughter to read. I started with this book, but didn't understand its approach. I switched to another book (The ordinary parent's guide to reading) and it packed way too much in a lesson for my little girl. I spent two weeks on 1 lesson and couldn't move on (from the section which begins teaching them to read after learning the letters). So, then I switched back. And then I understood the approach the author is taking. It made a lot more sense for us and it is working.

My daughter learned her letters from the leapfrog letter factory video. This helped set the stage so she was ready to start learning to read. Knowing the sounds of ... Read More
