One of the hardest choices in selecting the best homeschool curriculum for your child(ren) is choosing the right reading program. [Read more…]
Complete Phonics-Based Reading Programs
Stand-Alone Phonics & Reading Programs
These reading programs are affordable and easy-to-use in one book. Each of these are taught by the teacher in a one-on-one setting for individual learning. They are basic and don’t have the extra components that are found in the reading kit programs. This may mean more work for the teacher; however, some children don’t need all the extras. Simplicity works better for them. They seem to grasp and understand quickly. These programs will work for that type of learner.
Choosing the Right Reading Program for Your Child
We recommend teaching your child to read with a phonics-based reading curriculum. For most children, it’s the best choice.
The exception would be when you have a child who has been diagnosed as not being able to learn to read with phonics. In that case, your evaluator or therapist should be able to direct you to a suitable reading program.
We’ve tried some of them with our children and grandchildren and talk about it in our product descriptions.

The Reading Lesson is an easy-to-use reading program. I like this one because it is plain and simple. Some phonics programs get so complicated, it’s like learning another language just to understand them. It is also visually pleasing.
Our daughter uses the Reading Lesson to teach her children to read. She thinks it is great. It works and makes it easy for a busy mom.

Based on SRA’s DISTAR reading program, Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons is appropriate for “preschool children (bright three-and-a-half-year-olds, average four- and five-year-olds).” It is also “appropriate for children who have been in school but who have not learned to read. The program is not recommended for ‘poor readers’ who have been taught how to read but who make frequent mistakes.”
It is non-consumable. In addition to the book, you will need some paper or a chalkboard.
The instructions are detailed–scripted–on each lesson page.
