The Learn to Read at Home Course
This comprehensive, easy-to-use Learn to Read Course can be used with students of school age (or earlier, if they become VERY keen to learn to read) and above. The Course is phonics-based, step-by-step, and cumulative. This means that students are required to sound out and blend words, and that later work builds on earlier work. Parents and students never need to invent work, or guess.
The Learn to Read at Home Course sticks to the essentials, so that students learn what they need to know, and don’t learn non-essential “fluff”. They learn to read what is on the page in front of them.
The material in this Course is written in a way that makes sense. (English doesn’t always appear to make sense, so a few historical details are given at times – so students can understand WHY English is sometimes weird.)
Instructions for parents are given in the Introduction. The first part of the Introduction for Students explains How English Works. It shows why we need to sound out and blend.
Then, students are taught the letters, and the sound related to each letter (or letter team - such as Letters th,) in a way that helps them remember that sound/letter relationship, and reduces confusion. This means that the number of difficulties, such as the tendency to confuse letters b and d, are reduced.
I use the term student, because many of the people who use this Course are older teens and adults. I have used the Course with people aged 4 to 64.
The Course can be printed onto A4 paper, or it can be taught directly from the screen, depending on what suits you and your student. The Course is not set up to be taught on a small screen, such as a phone.
A FREE Sample is provided so that parents and students can try out the Course, to see if it suits them. The Sample provides everything you need to teach your student the first 90 words in the Course.
If you both work through the Sample, but decide against purchasing, you will still find that you have benefitted from doing that work. The major benefits will be that you will have become a more skilled teacher of reading, and your student will have learned how to sound out a number of the sounds, and will be better at blending.
