I purchased the ETC Primers A, B and C for homeschooling my 4 year-old. He loves the Get Ready for the Code books! We do about 6 pages a day and the activities on each page keep his attention. No boredom here! In fact if he had his way we would finish the book in about a week!
Primer B teaches the consonants p, j, h, s, n, d. Each letter has 12 pages dedicated to it. Your child will practice the shape of the letters, first by tracing the letter with their finger and then writing the letter in lowercase. Mixed in are pages with matching, same/different and coloring. There is one page for each letter that you will need the teacher's manual for the instructions. This series is excellent for children just learning the alphabet and letter sounds.

I love the A,B, and C books of Explode the code. My daughter felt such a sense of accomplishment when she finished book A and now looks forward to Book B every day when we homeschool. Although I am a certified Elementary teacher, teaching phonics is one of my weak areas and these books are really reinforcing the letter sounds for my daughter. I highly recommend these for PreK 4 or K. You do need the Teacher's guide for about 5 pages in each of the books. I bought an older version of book A and so I didn't need it. But, the newer versions omit the directions on 5 pages, unfortunately. For books 1,2, and 3, you don't really need the teacher's guide except for the Post Tests (or you could make up your own sentences for them to write down and pick one of the words for them to circle).

Save $$! You don't need to spend a ton on expensive reading programs to teach your children to read!
I have a degree in Elementary Education and have used the Explode the Code series to teach my three oldest children how to read and am now getting ready to start it with my fourth. My three oldest children were reading at the age of three years old. I was not pushing them... just working through the explode the code books with them and they took off reading.
I really like the way the series focuses on lower-case letters and small motor skills, in addition to providing a phonics foundation.
I highly recommend the series to everyone I know who is searching for something to help them teach their children how to read.

Excellent series of books
We loved these books and will continue to purchase all of them as my son's reading progresses. It has really helped his confidence to be able to do the books mostly by himself. Read more

Love it!
It's repetitive enough that my kid really learns and understands everything. It's not so repetitive that it bores her. We both love it!
