Children Learning Reading Review

Children Learning Reading is every parent’s and teacher’s guide to teaching children how to actually read – and how to do so with incredible skill. It forgoes the common teaching methods that require children to memorize sight words and instead, it focuses on teaching children the 44 sounds of the English language. But that sounds complicated, right? It’s actually much easier than memorizing and learning over 170,000 words that make up the English language. Not only that but the lessons provided to you in this program are fun, easy and enjoyable for everyone involved. Your child may even begin to love reading because it will no longer be this difficult struggle – and guessing game of words such as “hat” that looks like bat, bad, cat, mad, sad, lad, etc. So, if you’re reading to increase your child’s reading skills by teaching them how to actually read, here’s what you can expect from Children Learning Reading.

What is Children Learning Reading About?

Times have changed yet the curriculum has stayed the same. It’s no wonder so many children across the world have difficulties reading. It isn’t necessarily the child that’s the concern but rather, it’s the teaching method that’s being used that is the biggest problem.

Children Learning Reading forgoes the traditional reading methods and focuses on teaching children the 44 sounds of the English language instead of teaching them sight words that they memorize. Not only are sight words confusing (bad looks like cat, had, mad, bat, lab, etc.) but also, they don’t teach the child how to read the word but rather, how to recognize the word shape. This is why every child mistakes words for others that look the same. So, forget the flash cards.

Children Learning Reading is a comprehensive system that provides teachers and parents with detailed, step-by-step guides on teaching children how to learn the 44 sounds of the English language and of course, how to implement this into the household or classroom to teach them how to read. It comes with two progressive guides for the basics and the advanced phonics, as well as printable lesson plans, audio files, games, activities and much more. Here’s a look at what you receive when you get started, as well as the five-step process that the entire system is based on:

  • Step 1 Manual: Phonics Foundations
  • Step 2 Manual: Advanced Phonics Manual
  • Step 3: Fun To Read Lesson Stories
  • Step 4: Phonics Sounds – Letter Sound MP3 Audios
  • Step 5: Common Sight Words and Children’s Rhymes Book

how to teach a child to read

Advantages of the Program

One of the greatest advantages of Children Learning Reading is that it actually works. The English language is complicated and with so many words looking and sounding the same, or sounding the same yet being spelled completely differently, it’s no surprise that the new studies have found children’s reading skills to be far below the basic level.

I also really enjoyed how enjoyable it was to not only learn the method myself but also, to teach it to the little ones in my life. They were actually excited to learn how to read; to read and to, of course, play the fun printable games provided in this system.

Having the program in digital form is also a huge benefit, as it allowed me to bring the lessons and activities with me whenever my day took me, whether it was to a different class, to supply, to daycare or back home to my own children.

The 60 Day Money Back Guarantee is also a great feature as it gives you ample time to try the new teaching method out. Chances are, you’ll see that the “slow learner” isn’t so “slow” after all.

Disadvantages of the Program

I really cannot think of a disadvantage to this program. If I had to pick something, perhaps it would be that you have to be willing to put in the time and work. You cannot hand the activities over to your children and expect them to become a better reader. Though, teaching children anything requires your time and effort, so I wouldn’t say this is really a disadvantage and if it is, at least the time and effort pays off with this method as you’re able to see the gears turning and the words processing in the childrens’ brains.

The Verdict

Children Learning Reading is a comprehensive system that provides teachers, parents and children with the information needed for easy, enjoyable and effective reading. It makes the entire process for everyone involved and most important of all, it actually teaches children how to read instead of teaching them how to memorize word shapes like the current methods. And you get two months to see how your children like it with the 60 Day Money Back Guarantee. This is more than enough time to see that the problem isn’t with the child but rather, with the reading teaching method that has been used up until this point.
