5.0 out of 5 stars Finally the help my son needed!
My son was diagnosed with dyslexia and learning disabilities in reading and writing. We struggled trying to get him to read, using many curriculums and books. We started using this book 2 years ago. He moves very slow, often taking many days to complete a page. But his reading has improved dramatically, and his spelling is much better than expected for his diagnosis. The Dr. actually commented that what they usually see in dyslexia is that the sounding out of words is worse than sight word reading, but my son actually showed the opposite and did great on the phonics! We are still only about half way through the book, but it is very thorough and follows a sequence that makes sense for struggling readers. My son still doesn't enjoy reading lessons, but he doesn't hate them as much. He likes the little caterpillar in the lessons that gives lines of encouragement. Also a huge positive with this book is that it doesn't separate into age or grade levels anywhere on the book, and my son is very sensitive about that, so seeing that a curriculum say level "1" or whatever it is, is very triggering to him and causes him to shut down completely. That problem is non-existent with Phonics Pathways. I really can't say enough good things about this book. I strongly recommend this to ANYONE struggling with reading OR spelling! A suggestion I have for kids who are having a hard time moving through lessons: I make a chart with 20 or 30 boxes (adjust for your student) and let him color one in for each page he completes. Once the boxes are all filled in, we go out for an ice cream "party" to celebrate his accomplishment. He really looks forward to these and likes to look at his chart and count to see how many more boxes he needs to get his party.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great supplement to virtual learning.
I bought Phonics Pathways and Reading Pathways when two things became clear: 1) my son's kindergarten experience was woefully short on foundational skills for reading, and 2) the school shutdowns for the pandemic would mean I'd need to become his primary teacher for first grade. Despite his teacher's best efforts at the start of the 2020-21 school year (at a new school), the virtual learning model was ineffective at delivering consistent instruction in core areas. Sometimes they'd have a day or two of phonics, but then it'd be dropped for something else. There was no rhyme or reason to anything.So, we started by working through Phonics Pathways a page or two at a time for about 15 minutes a day. Some of the early stuff was easy and went quickly, but it helped him learn the methods and start off with positive experience. Once we got to page 50 or so I added in some pyramids from Reading Pathways and that's when I really started to notice some jumps in his reading. I think the pyramids helped with his eye tracking and ability to read longer and longer phrases and sentences. Not long after, he was reading on grade level (after having started the first grade year considerably behind).We're going to continue working through both books over the summer in preparation for second grade. I have no complaints about Phonics Pathways - just do a little work each day with this book and you're almost certain to see improvements.
5.0 out of 5 stars Pronounce it right,
This easy book is filled with the wisdom of our collective past. A past that is no longer taught. Ever notice how many of your favorite newscasters on tv cannot pronounce words? How they struggle to say a word correctly? Well, if only they read and filled this little book they would understand the centuries long tradition that used to be passed down on the rules of pronunciation. Additionally, this book has little quotes of good behavior and encouraged a hard work ethic. Franklin used to call this being industrious. Even as an adult, I found this book immensely helpful. I would certainly teach it to my kids if they were young again. And no, I did not homeschool them, though if this is the type of education a homeschooled kids might have I would now consider such a method. Regardless, this is a wonderful book, well organized, easy enough to follow. It builds on the previous lessons learned.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good tool but Monotonous
I used the book 100 Easy Lessons to initially teach my son to read and he loved it and was very successful with it. It kept him interested, because it presented fun little stories with the learning concepts. The thing I don't love about that book is it doesn't teach long vowels, digraphs and blends, although it does give you ideas at the end of the book for teaching those things yourself. I did some research to see what I could use to teach him those things and read a review someone left on-line, about ordering this book as a follow up and starting around page 50, which is what we did. My son is learning a lot and it is helpful in teaching him long vowels and the other things 100 easy lessons doesnt teach, but oh so boring. It's boring for me and its super boring for him. We could handle it at fist but my son is slowly starting to dread it. The book is just page after page of reciting words (that mostly don't make sense together) and then having a little "spelling test" at the end of each page. I do feel like he has become a better reader because of this book I just wish it wasn't so monotonous. If you have a hesitant reader, I would either take it really slow in this book or find something a little more captivating.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
This is working so much better than the previous curriculum I've tried with my children.
Great!
This is an excellent book, and I would highly recommend it for anyone assisting someone who’s struggling with reading or spelling!
It's been worthy to go back to basics.
Very interesting for non English speakers like me , who want to go back to basic knowledge. It takes time but you feel more and more self confident and willing to keep learning. I'm glad I purchased it.
Overall very good book
Excellent book. I am using it to teach adults to read and spell and its excellent. it is not as patronising as some of the other books I have seen can be, and so adults enjoy using it to help them with learning to read. Step by step exercises to follow which gives a lot of structure to what you are trying to teach. I also use it with students to help them to become better spellers. I would highly recommend this book.
Excellent
I found it really easy with my kids my son find every book hard but This one he found easy to read the word I would recommend it to all my friends and family
I absolutely love this book
I absolutely love this book! It is the best homeschooling resource for 'easy reading and perfect spelling' that I have ever found! Excellent lay-flat binding. I highly recommend this book to homeschooling families, and anyone else interested in learning the fascinating 'logistics' of vowels and consonants.
