Most coherent and methodical book for teaching your child to read
For the past few months I have been searching for a decent (reasonably priced) activity book that will teach my four year old how to read, but I wasn’t satisfied with any until I found this one! I find that most of the activity books out there do not follow any logical order, it’s become increasingly common to just throw together a hodgepodge of sight words and vowels in one book, and make believe that the child will magically start reading without building on concepts and giving him the tools he needs to master the art of reading. Another thing that annoyed me was that a lot of activity books would start with four letter words before introducing to the child simpler words like “cat” and “hot”. Like why on earth would you teach your child the words “door” “duck” “have” before teaching him simple word families like “at” “ug” “ot” and so forth before moving forward. Even three letter words like “see” “are” “you” that don’t follow the normal rules of english grammar should not be taught to a child before they can master the words that do follow the rules like “cat” “log” and “pig”. I felt that just bombarding my child with sight words would never work, since there is that many words he can memorize before he forgets everything. This book is the only book that actually builds on concepts and does not confuse the child by introducing myriads of sight words to memorize. This book is extremely methodical and systematic and follows a very logical order, it starts by introducing single letters, then goes on to introduce your child to word families like “at” “ot” “it” and so forth. Your child will only encounter three letter words until lesson 41 where simple sight words like “I” and “A” are first introduced. The activities are quite exciting, the letters and pictures are sharp and big so your child has no problem reading them and stringing vowels and words together. Sight words are only introduced occasionally but the bulk of the book focuses on regular three letter words that your child alone can put together after he’s given the tools and taught all the vowel sounds. Four letter words which the author calls blend words like “clip” and “club” are first introduced in lesson 49!Note: this book does not teach the long vowel sounds, only the short vowel sounds. So if you’re looking for long vowel sounds this book is not for you.I cannot promise that your child will learn to read from this book alone. By the time I found this book I already taught my four-year old how to recognize basic word families like “at” and “ot”, so he was already familiar with these words and was able to apply these concepts, more or less, to unfamiliar word families like “ug” and “ip”. Introducing word families to your child can be a very challenging task, and I wonder if my experience with this book would have been the same if I had to teach him all that from scratch (for example the author doesn’t have a page about beginning and ending sounds, concepts which I taught my child way before I got this book). As for the ability of this book to keep my child’s attention and focus, it’s also hard to say, my child is academically inclined and would do even not-such exciting activities if it’s challenging enough for him and stimulates his brain, and this is one thing he does not struggle with, so I can’t say with certainty, but compared to other books we had in the past the activities in this book do not disappoint.Here are couple of pros that I summarized for you:

Fun and effective for early readers
This activity book has been a great addition to our at-home learning. The phonics lessons are broken down into small, manageable steps that keep my child from feeling overwhelmed. Each page has fun illustrations and interactive exercises that make practicing letters, sounds, and sight words feel like a game instead of schoolwork.It’s perfect for kids who are just starting to sound out words or need extra practice with early reading skills. The spiral binding makes it easy to use at a table or on the go.

Special Ed Teacher approved
First, the money, great value for the price, hands down.Second, I’m a special education teacher and my 7yo son has ADHD, dyslexia, and a speech-language disorder. And these skill tasks were right on his level and helped fill those gaps in. It won’t fully teach every kid to read, but it’s a fantastic support. It’s the only reason skill tool that he ASKS for. ‘Mom I’ll do five pages!’ It gives him so much confidence. Can’t wait to get the version for kids with dyslexia next. Given all his struggles in school, he was so against doing any reading practice, but he loves this book. From an educator viewpoint, a lot of the curriculums in different schools neglect the basics, this presents them in an easy-to-follow way building on previous lessons as you go. It’s not tedious or boring. The pictures and little games are simple (we never bothered with the paper clip spinners and he loves it anyway) but fun. Hope this author has more coming.

Perfect Learn to Read Activities!
Super Duper Book! This is a progressive ,sequential learning to read book. The activities start with letters ..recognizing the letter, and then knowing the sounds of the letters, blending known letters for words,sight words. We just started the book, and so far ,my granddaughter is very interested and this book keeps her attention span. She is not quite five yet, but is very interested in learning to read before she even starts kindergarten. As a retired teacher, I am particular about books I buy, and this one was a perfect score!

Beginners
This is great for beginners who are still learning their letter sounds, my son however was already past this so it was a little too easy for him but great for those introducing sounds and beginning to blend word concepts. If you want something more challlenging definitely would recommend another book.

Fun, engaging, and highly effective phonics workbook for early readers
This activity book has been an incredible resource for helping my child learn to read. The 101 phonics lessons are structured in a very logical, sequential order, starting with letters, then moving to word families, sight words, and finally simple blends. This methodical approach makes it easy for young learners to grasp reading concepts without feeling overwhelmed.The lessons are short, engaging, and filled with fun activities like coloring, mazes, and word games. The letters and words are big and easy to see, and the pictures are vibrant, which really helps maintain my child’s attention. I also appreciate the clear instructions for parents or teachers, guiding exactly how to teach each concept and how to support children through the exercises.While the book focuses only on short vowel sounds, it provides a strong foundation for early reading. My child, who is just four years old, has already started sounding out words and reading simple sentences independently. It’s interactive, enjoyable, and builds confidence as kids see their own progress.This workbook is perfect for preschoolers, kindergartners, and even early readers who need extra practice. I would absolutely recommend it.

Great for learning. My son finds it fun and it is helping him with his letters and words. He has even asked to take it to school and complete modules at school. Very happy with this book.

This is an attractive, well crafted book with cute illustrations and a range of engaging activities for young children. Is it by itself sufficient to teach your child to read? Of course not, as no single book could achieve that unless it was incredibly thick and a lot of practice and repetition is required for a child to become a proficient reader. But it is a useful and worthwhile supplement to whatever reading program your child is doing, for example at their school.However, parents who are not American should be aware that the English in this book is American – not only the spelling, but also the vocabulary (e.g. ‘flashlight’ instead of ‘torch’, ‘crib’ instead of ‘cot’, ‘check’ instead of ‘tick’). And I just know that my Australian granddaughter will look at the book’s cute illustration of an alligator (used to illustrate the sound made by the letter ‘a’) and see a crocodile. None of this is an insurmountable problem, but it does mean to use this book non-American parents will have to teach their children the American names for some items if the children are to successfully complete some of the activities.

A useful book for the kids who just started to read. Please note that this isn’t a kid’s activity book which they can do it their own. Also not for those who just started with ABCs. Parents’/Elders’ guidance is a must for this. My kid loves to read and do the activities in this!

I was homeschooling when I bought this for my daughter, it taught her to read. It’s simple, fun and she loved doing it. I am now buying one for my son, as we live in France now and I have to teach them English.
