Summary: Miracle Worker
Comment: Over two years ago "Maria" was stricken with bacterial meningitis. A college scholar, musician, and
artist could no longer read or write. After having worked with her for five or six months just
trying hit and miss methods, I purchased "Teach Your Child To Read In 100 Easy Lessons."
It
was clear, simple to use, and easily adaptable to my particular need. Maria now reads at the fourth
or fifth grade level, still struggling with the aftermath of her disease, but she is confident and
happy that she can read again. I could never have done it without this book. It is a miracle
worker! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Summary: Worked for us
Comment: I started this book when my twins turned 5. One of my twins tends to learn a bit quicker than the
other, so I decided to have an individual lesson with each of them. The lessons do start off with
very simple to teach and learn concepts. Initially the lessons do indeed only take 10-5 minutes
each. We are currently on lesson #86 and starting at around #60 or so, the lessons begin to take
longer. The stories get longer and more difficult to read. I would guesstimate they take about 25
minutes each and I am not falling the directions to a t because I am only having my kids read the
story one time. In my opinion, reading the stories twice is asking a lot! Especially in the later
lessons. That being said, this program has been excellent for my kids. I have twins and they
started Kindergarten in August. Both are in the "high" reading groups and have already completed
the testing sequence that kindergarteners are supposed to complete by year end. My twins are both
very different in their learning style, and my son, while bright is normally at average with his
peers. So for him to be in the "high" reading group for me was a nice feeling. My goal in doing
this program was to give the kids (my son especially) a head start and a confidence boost in regards
to their learning abilities. My son is not the most confident in general, but he is very proud that
he can read already!

The lessons are not necessarilly "fun". The stories are funny,
so that helps later on. But, to add incentive, I set it up so that one could play learning games on
the computer while the other did their lesson with me. This has worked very well for us! If they
want computer time, they have to do a reading lesson. There ARE days that they do not want to do
the lesson, but when told they can't have computer time if they don't do the lesson, they usually
change their mind and agree to do the lesson.

I do recommend this book. I am so
excited to see my kids reading!! My daughter reads the 150+ word stories without much sounding out
now. But on the parents end it does take time and commitment.

Hope this helps some
folks out there considering purchasing this book.

Summary: An Amazing Find!
Comment: This book was recomended to me awhile ago but I forgot about it. While browsing on Amazon one day I
saw it and decided to check it out. After reading all the wonderful reviews I knew I had to get it.
I didn't even know if my almost 4 year old son would be interested in it, but I thought if nothing
else it would be a good resource down the road. It has been amazing! Not only does my son love his
"reading game" time, he begs me to do it every day and proudly shows his Daddy all that he has been
learning. Based on the reviews here I didn't think we'd do much with the writing part. I thought
they started with letters that were too hard to learn to write and I wasn't sure my son would have
the fine motor skills needed to do it. Again I was happily surprized. My son did have trouble with
the letters but every day he has gotten better and had more control with his hand movements. It
really helps that they keep reviewing the letters every few days.
I will definately be
recommending this book to everyone I know!

Summary: Great Investment! If you are thinking about it....go ahead and buy it you WILL be GLAD you did!
Comment: My 4 1/2 year old daughter is on lesson 86 of 100. She's doing great. Her big brother, who is almost
7, completed this program by his 5th birthday. He's reading on a 4th grade level and excels with
reading. What's so wonderful is I bought 1 book. That's it. I spent maybe $20 a few years ago and by
the middle of next month I will have completed the program on 2 children. So, for $10/child I have
(with the help of this book, prayer, and patience) taught my children to read! Nothing fancy. Simple
reading. Buy the book and open up a world of reading to your child. They will read so much. Totally
worth it!

I will add that my son did this program in a years time...not 100 consecutive
days like they recommend. My daughter has taken a little less time....probably 7 months. But, don't
be afraid of going at your own pace!

Summary: Great start!
Comment: My daughter has showed signs of reading readiness so I bought this book with the Bob Books to get
her started. I must say, as a parent and a teacher this is a nice fit. The lessons are managable for
everyone. They are easy to follow, repitious enough but not too much and the perfect length of time.
My daughter didn't get bored and actually was asking for more - exactly what I wanted. One the same
day she started I noticed her pointed out "M" and "S" and saying the sounds presented. Therefore, it
showed me she had internalized what she had been introduced to. This book with the Bob Books in
combination make a nice package.
