"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?

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.
