Reading


Explode the Code

This was a FUN simple workbook series that starts with the basics of learning letter sounds and goes all the way! There is lots of repetition for children that need that. I found myself skipping pages on some sounds and on other sounds, using every lesson page. Plus, the lessons were easily modified for those days that my child just didn't want to write but still was ready to learn reading. This book series is incredibly cheap! -- Tricia Morin, Speechville Board Member


Phonics Pathways:Clear Steps to Easy Reading and Perfect Spelling
by Dolores Hiskes

I have read and reviewed many phonics programs and this was by far the easiest program to follow for both me and my child. Each sound is learned in a simple lesson. There is a little worm that shows up in all the lessons that makes it a little more kid-friendly. --Tricia Morin, Speechville Board Member
