Success stories:
Success with a struggling first grade reader.
Donna Dressman, Indiana: "When my son was identified as one of the 5 weakest readers in his school's first grade, he was placed in a remedial reading pull-out program. (Here, he was taught the same things in the same manner--just more of it!) I started "100 Easy Lessons" with with him and, after only 68 lessons, we could not hold him back! He was reading anything and everything! At the end of second grade, he was the top reader in his class, scoring at 5.0 grade level in reading. His success, (as well as his LOVE of chapter books) can be credited to instruction in this systematic, explicit phonics approach."
Success teaching a 4 year- old to read before Kindergarten.
Jill Dardig: "Our 4-year-old son is curled up on the couch reading a story about snakes to his dad. After he is finished, he will be able to tell me and his little sister all about boa constrictors and red, spitting cobras. My son is a typical, active preschooler, who loves to play with his friends and transformer toys, ride his tricycle, and read. The skill of reading at an early age has added an exciting new dimension to his life...For us, the results have been exciting though certainly not magical. Intensive work was required, but it has been a great experience for us both." (From the published magazine article, Teaching Your Preschooler to Read.)
Phychologist and father has success teaching his children.
Caleb Burns: "I'm a psychologist in private practice in Portland, Oregon, and I recommend the book frequently to parents of young children (and especially to those parents who are concerned about the school system not focusing on phonics instruction). I used the book to teach both of our children to read, this when they were 4 years of age. The "Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons" worked very well, with the children learning to read quite complicated material by the end of that time. (I spent more than a hundred days going through the book, by the way, and it still worked very well.)"
Success for all types of children learning to read.
The Denver Post, May 1996: "A simple, inexpensive tool our company is using in a volunteer program to help non-readers in a local grade school is the book, TYC.... It is a highly structured format which leads the child step by step to a second grade reading level. It is effective with children from all social and economic backgrounds and they love it. I would be happy to share our experience with any parent, grandparent or volunteer who can spare 15-20 minutes per day to help a child learn to read." Norma Tabor, Denver.
