We are excited for Kate.
We started the Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Easy Lessons book at the beginning of this school year and she just finished it. She did every lesson and it was such a joy to do it with her.
We skipped days, no doubt. Maybe even a week here and there. But she was persistent and didn't complain when we pushed through!
If your child is interested in learning how to read, I highly recommend this book. It's easy to follow and there's no preparation...just sit down for 10 or 15 minutes with them each day and it just happens!
I did offer a prize for every 10 lessons and that worked well.
Toward the end of the lessons, I could tell she was beginning to lose steam. So I told her we would plan to have a party for her 100th lesson. This was great motivation for her...
Here's a short video to see how the evening went, but the battery died so it's not a good sample of the reading itself.
She did the last lesson in front of everyone, and then we gave her a small gift: a library card in her own name.
We had pizza and chips, and cupcakes that we made to look like apples with worms in it..bookworms ;)
