The Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading
by: Jessie Wise, Sara Buffington


Editorial Review:

A plain-English guide to teaching phonics. Every parent can teach reading--no experts need apply!

Too many parents watch their children struggle with early reading skills--and don't know how to help. Phonics programs are too often complicated, overpriced, gimmicky, and filled with obscure educationalese. The Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading cuts through the confusion, giving parents a simple, direct, scripted guide to teaching reading--from short vowels through supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. This one book supplies parents with all the tools they need.

Over the years of her teaching career, Jessie Wise has seen good reading instruction fall prey to trendy philosophies and political infighting. Now she has teamed with dynamic coauthor Sara Buffington to supply parents with a clear, direct phonics program--a program that gives them the know-how and confidence to take matters into their own hands.

fantastic resource:

I've watched them grow to love books, and naturally begin to develop language & reading readiness in these early years.
I'm a public school parent, not a homeschooler, but I believed that my kids would love reading if they knew how to do it. So, I invested in this book, and have been very pleased. I... more info

Great book:

This book came highly recommended, and it has lived up to all the praise. My four year old picked up on the short vowel sounds (first five lessons) very quickly, thanks to her techniques. Great teaching guide.

Homeschool material:

An excellent book. It was so much fun to see my grandson's eyes light up when he realized he was reading. Be sure to read through the book. There are many helpful suggestions.
