The Reading Lesson Book

The Reading Lesson Book - Now Spiralbound!

Some younger children are born with a passion for reading. In contrast, others are competitive and merely long to do what their older siblings do. The Reading Lesson's larger text and adorable line drawings will be very appealing to these younger children. 

The logical progression of using both phonics and developmentally appropriate sight words without all the rules makes this program more successful for these beginning readers.

The vocabulary of The Reading Lesson closely corresponds to the 500 most commonly used words. 

Special typography of symbols helps children see exceptions to standard pronunciation rules. As they gain competency, they are slowly weaned from these cues. 

Words, sentences, and short stories are interspersed throughout the lessons for reading practice. As the child progresses through the book, the type size is reduced. 

The twenty lessons mentioned on the book's cover are more akin to twenty chapters. The program will take many families four to seven months to complete.

The Reading Lesson was designed by a physician specializing in young children's behavioral, attentional, and learning problems. Any child struggling to master reading may find The Reading Lesson's slower pace and clean, distraction-free pages more suitable to his learning style. 

Used successfully with children with ADHD, autism, and Down syndrome, this may just be the program your family has been searching for.

Because The Reading Lesson is strictly a beginning reading program, we would encourage every family to finish their phonics journey with All About Reading.

”I think this book does go through reading at a good pace and goes over quite a bit.”
