Does Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons work? Yes it does, and in this video I flip through and review what I did to make it work in our home.
**I was just reviewing this video to put up time stamps, and realized my mic picked up music unintentionally. I apologize, and I can't believe I missed that in editing. I have a radio tower near my house, and recently my mic has picked up radio stations. Super annoying and has to do with the audio cable I used when filming this.

This was a good video! I laminated the front and back covers and spiral bound the rest! Best decision Ever. We are on lesson 51 and since it’s all contained, we can do a lesson cuddled up on the couch and my boy LOVES reading lessons for that reason. We use this with the logic of English phonogram songs on KZfaq and their fun phonogram books (at a separate time than when we do this book), and the LOE quick reference guide to answer my son’s questions that 100 ez lessons doesn’t cover (he has an exhausting amount of questions so these LOE resources have been so helpful for me). We will continue with LOE for the rest of language arts but I really like going with 100ez lessons 1st because it manages to teach phonics without feeling “rule based” which I think is great for fluency… I don’t actually know how that works though but it feels right 😂

That's so smart!! Laminate it first, then spiral! I'm going to pin your comment, if that's okay so other mama's can see that. I need to take a closer look at Logic of English, because the way you describe it sounds really helpful. I agree, rule based phonics sounds cumbersome when you're trying to learn how to read. Trust that gut! ❤️❤️

I used this with my niece when the lockdowns happened in 2020. She was in first grade. She had the actual book at her house and I had a PDF copy on my phone. We did video lessons every day for 20 minutes and coupled it with Spelling you see level B for 10 minutes. She was reading at grade level when she went to second grade and could do both decode and encode words. GREAT book.

Or going quick over some lessons or parts I know she has. Love that flexibility with homeschooling!

Thank you so much for this! We had tried this program for my kindergartener last year, and it just didn't work for us. I had to put it aside thinking, he's not ready. He hated it, and would cry. We only did a few lessons. He probably wasn't ready. But I think also that I just didn't understand what I was doing. 😞 It's scripted! I should have understood. I saw another video recently discussing how to teach reading using the method in this book. It dawned on me that I hadn't understood. I told my daughter (in her 20s who was the one who purchased the book) "I was doing it wrong." This summer we're trying again with Explode the Code. He really likes it and is doing well. But I'm definitely going to bring in 100 Lessons as a supplement. Thank you. I always appreciate the thoroughness of your videos.

It is definitely the most affordable option with teaching to read.

@kayleighjohnson3612 2 жыл бұрын

First- thank you SO MUCH for your video. It's exactly the depth I was looking for to look into this program. I'm considering pursuing this approach after I finish AAR Pre-Reading with my almost 5yo (we're about 1/4 through). I want something that is solid on blending the letters together into words- I know that without this "Ah-ha!" leap reading doesn't happen. It seems like 100 Easy Lessons does this well. I do wonder about that transition you mentioned though, of changing the specially marked letters in words to regular print ( I think you said they put it in Times New Roman font?). I am wondering if it may help the transitioning period down the road if, from the beginning, I mention it every few lessons that these special marks and different sizes are helpful "clues" (like Blues Clues haha) to help us remember how to read them, and give examples of those word examples in how they are written normally. Then again this might be just too much and totally overboard, and be zero help. What are your thoughts since you have gone through the program?

@SummerMeyers 2 жыл бұрын

🥰 I'm glad this video helped! Since I've filmed this, I've read a few different things about letter recognition. It's important to expose new readers to different font types, because we don't really have a standard font across the board. Every book you pick up, including early readers, are going to have different ways they print "a" or "g" etc. I'm about to start experimenting with this, but I think it's mostly just taking time (once reading has clicked) to expose them to different ways words are presented in books. Knowing that they are processing the ways letters are shaped will help me as a parent to not panic. Their reading isn't necessarily regressing, it's just that they are now processing different letter shapes in addition to sounding out words which is going to slow their reading down again. Does that make sense? So it's adding a new skill to their reading. Basically. I've heard great things with AAR. Is there a reason in particular that you would like to change it up? Just curious. 🙂❤️

@kayleighjohnson3612 2 жыл бұрын

@@SummerMeyers that is such a good point! I’ve actually thought of this before, and have been collecting different fonts from newspapers and magazines to do a cut and paste activity, the idea being to expose him to the different ways a letter can be typed. What you said makes so much sense! We are doing good with AAR pre-reading, but like any curriculum it isn’t a custom fit. He actually knows all of his letters and most of their multiple sounds, funny enough this is just from watching preschool prep letter sounds, and listening to Doodling Dragons ABC Songs that Logic of English has put out on Apple Music. He has completely unintentionally memorized and can recite the multiple letter sounds of the alphabet!😂 because of this the pre-reading is half irrelevant, and we are only focusing on the second half of the lessons that touch on pre-reading skills. So far it’s been rhyming, noticing the links of sentences, noticing the amount of words in sentences, and we’re about to look at syllables now. Doing research I’ve just realized that after gaining some of these pre-Reading skills with AAR we might actually be a better fit for LOE. That’s what my plan was originally, but I did see some information on 100 Easy Lessons, and I like that it is a simpler, quicker, and straightforward way to get kids toes wet in reading, and stoke that fire by building confidence. Whether it’s because of his age or personality, he is a wigglier and attention span isn’t long so if I can do short and sweet it works best. I’ve also been nervous about teaching blending, and it just seems like this program does a really good job at that, where I’ve heard AAR and LOE Require the child to be able to make a little bit of a leap. Also, another factor, they’re not the most important, is the price tag of comparing the three.😂

@SummerMeyers 2 жыл бұрын

I LOVE that activity! That is such a brilliant idea!! Pasting different letters and matching them would be so beneficial! I'm going to steal that idea. ❤️❤️ My girl Mama Yaya does logic of English. You should check out her channel because she has a bunch of great pre-reading activities that are super smart and laid out. Blending sounds feels intimidating, but I do think that is something 100 easy lessons does well. And I see it all the time in homeschool consignment stores for cheap, so try it out and if doesn't work, you've got some other ideas in your back pocket! Success! 🥰❤️🎉

Hey! I’m brand new to homeschool, but have found sooo many useful tips on KZfaq! I wish I could’ve seen this video a few months ago. I bought this same book because of the great reviews and amazing price, but started flipping through and immediately shelved it because of the pages and pages of information I had to read beforehand 😂. The way it was laid out too just didn’t do it for me. I ended up spending way more money and bought All About Reading which is actually REALLY great, but I may go back and give it a second chance though after seeing this. Anywho I wanted to share a tip I do have even though I am a complete amateur in this area and that’s for removing the binding/spine off of books. I found a super helpful video demonstration and all they did was use a box blade and open the book halfway and flatten as much as possible. Then use the blade and cut through until you have two separate halves. (Usually about two full cuts.) Then continue doing the same with each section until you have small enough sections to use a paper cutter and cut off the gluey binding. Of course you need your own binding machine if you do this, but I’ve done it a bajillion times and it’s gotten easier every time. I also live in a tiny town though that doesn’t have a staples or anywhere like that to have the binding cut off so this is literally my best option 😆 Anyway just wanted to share. Love your videos and personality by the way 🙃
