This book provides a commonsense, phonetic, step-by-step method for teaching any child, age 2 through age 10, how to read. Many parents don’t realize their preschooler is capable of learning this skill. Or you may be a parent whose grade-school-age child is struggling with reading in school. Or you may be a homeschooler. To all these parents, author Stephen Parker encourages you to take control of this vitally important aspect of your child’s self-esteem and future academic success.
Teaching a Preschooler to Read provides you with a complete phonics-based program that will make your child an independent reader in 12–18 months. Phonics-based instruction uses no “sight words.” Instead, you’ll teach your child to read unfamiliar words by decoding them: matching their letters with appropriate sounds and then blending those sounds together. Phonics makes reading and spelling logical for your child by revealing the code which underlies these skills. If you can read, you have the expertise to teach your child. Parker will guide you at each step along the way. Who better to perform this task than you?

Many “reading disabled” kids have nothing wrong with them other than the fact that they are victims of a faulty instructional method called Whole Word. From 1930-1975, Whole Word was known as the Look/Say method. From 1975-2000, it was called Whole Language. Since 2000, the newest version of Whole Word goes by the name “Balanced Literacy.” All Whole Word programs start reading instruction with memorized “sight words” and guessing strategies. Many of our kids, including some of our brightest, can’t learn to read in such a manner because it’s not logical - it makes no sense to them. Parents can solve this problem by teaching their child to read themselves, using the method recommended by the National Reading Panel: Synthetic Phonics. This book will guide you at each step along the way as you reclaim control of your child’s future.

This book is a stand-alone resource for K-2 reading teachers, teachers-in-training, and other reading professionals. It provides the theoretical and practical foundations for using Synthetic Phonics as a method for teaching both reading and spelling. The emphasis is on the Alphabetic Code and on reasoning rather than on sight words and guessing. The book includes a history of reading instruction, a critique of Balanced Literacy, and a full 17-stage program to guide actual instruction.

Reading Instruction and Phonics: Theory and Practice for Teachers

The ultimate stand-alone resource for parents of struggling readers, parents of children with dyslexia, and for Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs). The method used is Synthetic Phonics. This method does not employ "sight words" or guessing strategies. Rather, it approaches reading logically, emphasizing the full "sounding out" (decoding) of unknown words based upon their spellings. Suitable for use with children of all ages and, with some minor adaptations, illiterate adults as well.
