"Reading Made Easy combines the best of sound phonics mechanics with a contagious love of reading. I only wish this valuable tool had been available when I began homeschooling. Affordable, scripted, easy-to-use and effective; what more could anyone want? Reading Made Easy is a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to impart to children not only the information of 'how' we read but also the inspiration of 'why' we read." Jane Claire Lambert, author of Five in a Row

We are enjoying Reading Made Easy very much and I just wanted you to see us at work www.escuelitaaparicio.blogspot.com
It is amazing to teach your child to read!
Thanks for a great Guide,

For reading we use Reading Made Easy by Valerie Bendt, which I really, really like! However when I saw we had to create a sight worm I thought it was going to be very tedious and time-consuming. But guess what? It was a lot of fun for Samuel and a great way to review the sight words that we have learned so far.
