A Home Start in Reading

by Dr. Ruth Beechick

Mott Media

A Home Start in Reading is only one of three books in the Three R's set. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how valuable this little set of books is for all homeschooling parents with young children.

With just a little confidence in your ability to shed your dependency upon curriculum, you can actually teach your child how to read with only this book! This 28-page book has five sections covering the five essential stages of reading: prereading, beginning, blending, decoding, and fluency. Dr. Beechick includes charts of phonetic sounds (including combinations of letters) and lists of basic sight words. She also describes simple yet effective reading readiness activities that all children should experience. A small phonics chart also comes with the Three R's set.
