This early reading primer, targeted for children ages 1-6, will give any young reader a head start. The book is designed ideally to cover one chapter per day such that the student will have acquired basic reading skills within about one month. Covering a total of 64 phonetic sounds, when gradually introduced in a specific order, they help the reader to grasp the concepts quickly. Although the book is crafted for children, the approach may appeal equally to older students, including those who are learning English as a second language. In addition to introducing reading basics, this primer emphasizes the importance of teacher involvement as a crucial step in the path to literacy.
"I used the Aardvark to Zucchini Phonetic Alphabet Book to teach my 5-year old son to read and would highly recommend it to parents and educators. The book uses a fun and logical approach to teach new readers to read. I was amazed how my son learned to read through the use of this book." - Mike Z. from Iowa; age 45
"I used this book with my 4-year old daughter to help prep her for pre-K reading class. It helped so much and now she is one of the first in her class to know sight words and read. I would highly recommend this book to help prepare children for reading. It's easy to use and your child will love it!" - Erica J. from Iowa
