Product Description

Three resources in one READING, WRITING, and ARITHMETIC! Learn how to take the mystery out of teaching the early grades with this practical, down-to-earth guidebook from Ruth Beechick. The book is divided into three sections that are tabbed for easy reference. The READING section tells how and when to begin phonics, and how to develop comprehension skills. The LANGUAGE section shows how to develop written language skills naturally, in the same way children learn oral language. The ARITHMETIC section explains how to teach understanding of math concepts, and not just memorization of facts. Bonus: A removable 2-sided wall chart for phonics and arithmetic.


About the Author

Dr. Ruth Beechick has spent a lifetime teaching and writing curriculum. She understands how children learn. To follow this book, for fourth grade and older, use "You can Teach Your Child Successfully," also by Beechick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource...and Filled With Wisdom, February 15, 2002
By Cris LaRue "loves to read" (Long island, NY) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: The Three R's (Paperback)
The great thing about these little (28-30 pages) guides is that they truly give you all you need to start successfully homeschooling your K-3rd Grader in 3 core areas: reading, Language (Grammar) and Math. They are jammed packed with details and wonderful "how-tos", not rhetoric. I imagine that you can design a whole year's curriculum with just this packet, and a collection of very good books. Do yourself a favor, ditch the urge to buy those expensive curriculums with bells and whistles. Buy this first. I just wish I found this series BEFORE I spent hundreds of dollars on buying and selling things I didn't want or need. When you have finished this, I suggest you read Beechick's You Can Teach Your Child Successfully for more wisdom on schooling 4th-8th Grade.

Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't say enough good things!, January 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Three R's (Paperback)
Short, simple, easy to use, user-friendly, to the point. Everything I've ever wanted in early elementary education for my children. The perfect introduction to reading, writing and math. Uses simple techniques and inexpensive objects found around the house. Not a full curriculum for ALL school subjects by any means, but an excellent method for getting your children off to a great start in the 3R's. And the price is definitely right on the money! :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars To Start Your Child Off Right..., April 17, 2002
By Mark A. Zampino, Sr. (LIBERTYTOWN, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Three R's (Paperback)
...get these books! It is a very small investment, but a wealth of information. The approach is totally different from most curriculums and "workbooks."

I had a hard time in school. While I am bright, I am also dyslexic. Therefore, I had to find ways where I could learn, not in the (what has become) traditional way. This "traditional way" of mass education has only been around for a couple hundred years. Before that, people were taught from life and life examples; the "hands on" approach.

This small set of books is brining us back to the concept that all people do not learn the same way! This is not new, but it is totally politically incorrect.

We have been using the traditional workbooks with my son and he just has not gotten it. Inn addition, there has been a real lack of interest. Why? Most of them are boring! After reading these books and putting into practice the principles outlined in them, he started to be able to sound out simple words in a week! A coincidence? I think not.

Do not be stuck in the political agenda of the day or in what is familiar to you. Be willing to branch out for your kids. They will excel when they are taught in the way in which they can learn. You too will be excited when you see them learning more quickly and with enthusiasm.

Give this book a try. If you are truly willing, I do not think you will be disappointed!

My rating: A
