About this title

Synopsis

An updated, easier-to-use edition of the program that helped a million parents teach their children to read.

Parents can teach their children to read--no expertise required! Parents can take charge of their children’s literacy with this updated, easier-to-use edition of the classic jargon-free phonics guide. Too many parents watch their children struggle with early reading skills ― and don’t know how to help. Many phonics programs are too often complicated, overpriced, gimmicky, and filled with obscure educationalese. The Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading, Revised Edition cuts through the confusion, giving parents a simple, direct, scripted guide to teaching phonics and reading― from short vowels through supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. A new layout makes understanding and teaching the concepts even easier. With the accompanying Student Book, parents will have everything they need to take their children from the basics all the way to a fourth-grade reading level. Features a new introduction by Dr. Susan Wise Bauer.  none
