5.0 out of 5 stars Your kindergartener can read, November 7, 2003

This review is from: Phonics Practice Readers, Series A, Set 1: Short Vowels [With Teacher's Guide] (Paperback)

My daughter's school uses series A for the kindergarteners (series B is for 1st grade and series C is for 2nd grade). As soon as the children know 22 sounds, especially the short vowels, they get to start taking these books home to practice. They bring them back and get a prize when they can read one, and then they get the next one. I am stunned at how quickly my daughter is learning to read. By the end of October, 15 of her classmates were already reading these little books. It's a great program.

4.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS!, February 7, 2005

This review is from: Phonics Practice Readers, Series A, Set 1: Short Vowels [With Teacher's Guide] (Paperback)

I first purchased the first series with "Max the Cat", in 1982, when the school system decided to utilize a new approach to reading WITHOUT using phonics, a sight word memorizing technique. That's when I decided to teach my son how to read. I purchased all four series, and susequently taught all four of my sons how to read prior to entering kindergarten. Knowing how to sound words out, helped them become better spellers as well as readers. I am presently purchasing these series again for my grandchildren. You can't go wrong, once children know their alphabet by recognition they can easily read with this phonetic series. The questions at the end of each booklet, helps them with comprehension also.

When I started my son on these readers, he could barely read and had little interest in learning. He quickly worked his way through these books and would ask to read them over and over again. I appreciated the teachers manual that included vocab words to practice and questions to ask while reading.
