Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons : Revised and Updated Second Edition by Elaine Bruner, Phyllis Haddox and Siegfried Engelmann (1986, Trade Paperback)

Excellent book!

Does exactly what it says it does. I was struggling to teach my daughter how to read - even though she is a bright and eager learner - for all the reasons explained in the book's preface. We're less than 20 lessons into the book and my 4 year old is already reading words on her own! I couldn't have taught her without this book's guidance. It's easy to follow, but parents: you HAVE TO read the preface and do exactly what it says to do, in the way it says to do it. Just follow what they author instructs and everything falls into place. I will definitely be keeping this to help my son learn to read when he's old enough.Read full review

Great approach to early reading.

I found this book when my youngest child was 4 and I was starting with her reading. I have homeschooled all 9 of my children. She is now 25. I found this approach to reading kept her interest at a young age and also reinforced skills in her older brothers as they sat in on lessons.
We had used a variety of materials over the years and I must say that for beginning reading this is my favorite. We supplemented with Bob Books and then on to other advanced reading programs.Read full review

Simple and effective

I used this book over 20 years ago to teach my 4 year old son to read. Now I have a 4 year old granddaughter. I bought the book again (I think I gave away my first copy to a friend trying to teach their child). She's learning quickly and is happy to do her lesson everyday that I see her. I love that it is simple and quick. I love that it emphasizes lower case letters and not by their "name" but by their sound. Excellent!Read full review

Makes Reading Approachable

My 4 year old was resistant to learning to read before using this book. She already knew all her letters and sounds, but would get embarrassed trying to sound words out with me. She took to this book right away and finds it engaging. Now, she asks me to do extra lessons sometimes and we are only on lesson 14! It has definitely improved her confidence with the reading process and I look forward to using it with my other children as well.Read full review

The book is in great shape! My daughter ...

The book is in great shape! My daughter has used this method to teach her 4-year-old daughter to read, with great results. I've bought a couple of used ones over the last few months for her to give to other homeschooling moms.Read full review

using "teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons"

The book is a great tool. Just note, 100 lessons doesn't mean 100 days and easy is relative. It was somewhat frustrating, possible due to his age (he was 4 when we started). It took us 10 months to get thru the book. Once we finished the book and started reading regular books reading was so much easier. It's been 6 months since we finished the book and he now reads at the third grade level. So while it may not be so easy it certainly works well. It's a great start for young kids to start learning phonics. I HIGHLY recommend it.Read full review

Teach Your Child to Read Works!

We are only just over 10 lessons in and my son is already learned to sound out and say at least 8 words. It is very rewarding to see your child learning and to have something that is easy to follow and laid out for you. You might not be able to do a whole lesson in twenty minutes but what you can get done in twenty minutes is still very rewarding if you keep it up!Read full review

Easy Teaching Manual

I used this book to teach both of my sons to read over 20 years ago. I gave our copy to a local school that used it to help children with learning issues learn to read. Now I am buying another copy to teach a grandchild. It is so simple to teach from and learn from. Kids are reading whole sentences soon after starting, so they get really excited about reading.Read full review
