5.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Book of Phonics, November 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Book Of Phonics (The Complete Book Series) (Paperback)

I have searched a lot of phonic books in order to encourage my children how to read. I first tried this book about two years ago when my oldest child was four. At first she went through the pages one at a time, but within a short time she did a few pages a day. She had mastered reading books with more than one line on each page about half way through the book of phonics. It doesn't rush the child to learn the short vowel sounds and long vowel sounds at once. It first grounds them well in beginning, middle and ending sounds along with short vowels sounds. It pushes them ahead with enough repetion not to forget what has already been mastered. It also sections subjects and at the end of each section there is a review so one is able to tell what has trully been learnt. This book along with simple one liner books to read is all you'll ever need to help your child read. It also introduces them to story telling, sequencing and a bit of grammar. It is really complete. I am now going through it one more time with my second child (4yrs old) and have found the book has worked the same for her. As they learn they are more interested and happy to do the work in this book, and she is the least motivated out of my two children.

This book is great for many reasons. Lots of brightly colored, fun pictures, and the words are very large on the page. Each page presents one simple concept, and many of them involve cutting things out and taping or gluing them. Lots of fun.

The phonics concepts are presented in a correct order, step-by step. The pages tear out nicely, too.

I can't say enough for this book. We've had at least 25 different phonics books/programs/workbooks and now our various children, and this book is my favorite.

I first got this book a few years ago for my oldest daughter to teach her to read. It worked! The book is very step-by-step. It doesn't jump ahead before you are ready, etc. I purchased a second book last year for my younger daughter. She is now reading very well! The book contains phonics for grades Kindergarten through second grade, but both of my kids loved it so much, they finished the whole think in their Kindergarten year!!... My kids love them all and so do I!
