There is one aspect of the homeschooling journey that we all dread a bit. It causes a bit of sweat and tears, but in the end is so worth it. That is the task of teaching your child to read. Just when you feel like it is never going to work, it seems as if the skies open up and your child is a reading machine! I am now on to my third child that I am teaching to read. I started with a few different curriculums over the past two years, but after completing them I felt like we just needed something more. I was contacted by The Reading Lesson to review their product at the PERFECT time. I spent the last few months going through The Reading Lesson with my son Noah, and we love it! It is very simple to follow, not too overwhelming, and it works!

The program is used by thousands of homeschoolers and is 2nd Best selling reading program in the U.S. It’s popular because it’s simple and effective!
How does it work?
Each lesson begins with three to four sounds and introduces sight words as we go along. Word recognition skills develop through the use of key words. Once these key words are learned using Phonics, we encourage the child to read them as sight words to gain fluency. Certain words such as “you” and “do” are difficult to explain using the phonic principles. These and other such non-phonic words are presented as sight words.
The Reading Lesson works by first teaching the most common letters in the English language. This way, the child can begin reading words and simple stories from the very first lesson. There are no boring drills. All reading is context oriented. Simple sentences are read along with stories. Our goal is to give the children basic reading skills so they can begin to read independently.
The biggest reward is hearing your child say, “I can read!” after each lesson.
