The Wise Learn To Read series (Volumes I to V) enables a parent or educator to easily teach a child to read at a first grade reading level; even one who has not yet learned the alphabet. The first reader 'Bees' will give most 4 and 5 year old children the experience of reading their first book within 15 minutes; leaving them with a feeling of achievement. Each book builds on the previous one and by book 20 the child will be ready to start reading at a second grade level. Book 1, Bees, starts by introducing a cartoon bee next to the big letter B and the letter I next to a cartoon eye. As the book progresses, letters are put next to each other to form words and the pictures are slowly removed until the child is only reading the words. The pictures are like training wheels for words and at the end of the book the child is reading! The experience is easy and magical. For over 30 years parents, educators and children are delighted by children's ability to read with this series. Have fun!

my three siblings and i learned to read with this series years and years ago. i have been frantically looking for them for my 3 (almost 4) year old son. this series makes it so easy to learn to read. i would have paid anything for them. i am so thankful to have found them. the pictures with the phonics make this a terrific way to teach children to read. Dr. Wise, thank you for your legacy.

This review is from: Wise Learn To Read (Volume I): Books 1-4 (Paperback)
I got this book based on a recommendation from a friend. The books (we've been through level 1 and level 2), are really good at helping a child to read. It takes a word like you and starts out with just "u" and the child can read it right away. Then on the next page, it adds the letters "yo" in an outline font and leaves the "u" in a dark font. The child just reads it without hesitation, then a few pages later the whole word "you" is written in the dark font and the child reads it. Being able to read without frustration gave my daughter, who's in Kindergarten, enthusiasm to read. She wants to read these books and feels great pride in being able to read to me. Prior to this, it was a struggle to get her to cooperate. The book also points out things for the parent/teacher to show the child about sounding out vowels and it gives an outline for practicing word endings. I truly love these books!! Unfortunately, I think they are WAY overpriced. There are many people who can't and won't spend that kind of money on a pretty small book. I never would have if my friend didn't highly recommend it. Because I've had success with the first two, I am going to get level 3--just wish is wasn't so much money. Money aside, I highly recommend this series of books.
