Curriculum Comparison || Kindergarten Reading Curriculum || Teach Your Child to Read ...

Awesome review and comparison, Tanya!! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole video. Reading lessons looks like a book I would like. We have Susan's book and used it for two kids. This time around, I'm going to try our Waldorf curriculum as closely as possible. My first two were late readers. My third almost taught himself, though we did begin Susan's book. He was 8 though, so late according to most educators. I think the 'easy' part of the lesson would be if you did these books when the child was older versus younger. But it seems like these books are marketed for 4-5 year olds. -Hana

This can be so helpful for those needing to see inside! I taught my kids to read for free, but I love to hear a parent say she hoards thrifted phonics books :)

I know this video is old but it’s so good! Great finds at a thrift shop. I love that we have so many options but sometimes it’s so hard because I have so many options 😂

I know this is an older vid of yours but I just found it and am so glad I did! This is exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply tanya

This has been so helpful as I start picking out things for my newly turned 4 year old, thank you!

Thank you! I was considering a couple of these and already own one, but after watching this I am going to stick with that we have.

Thank you so much. Amazing video.

Thank you. Loved seeing the differences between the books. :)

We love OPGTR it is very thorough in teaching all the phonetic sounds of the English language and that it doesn't have any pictures or colorful distractions and when your child has completed the book he/she is around a 4 grade reading level or more in my opinion. It is differently a big book and should be worked through slowly and in short about of time. We don't do as much of the activity at the end of some of the lesson because use have a spelling program that we for that and it makes the lessons a bit long. We started using this book when my son was a few months after he turned 5 and it worked great for a long while, but I wish I would've known then to take it slower and not expect so much out of him. He was doing great and ready, but I just for some reason thought he should more faster. So I got a cheap version of hooked and phonics and now we switch between to two using HOP has a review and confidence booster. I love that OPGTR doesn't leave anything out, it goes all the way through all the phonics you need to know to read, it very helpful to have the next step all in one place. Thanks for reviewing all of theses! I have looked over them in a scanning fashion over the years my I feel like my boys are struggling wondering if I need to try something different, but now I know for sure we are using just what we need to be using! I'm thinking of grabbing phonics pathways from the library and making copies of the games just for fun. Ps I had some many people in my circle recommend 100 easy lessons and every time I went to look at it in the store and opened the book my brain went crazy and I couldn't stand the layout of the pages, honestly I still can't, but I glad to have and understanding of how it works. So I know what you mean about it has to fit the teacher first. If I could find these at a thrift store I would have no problem having a ton of phonics programs available, in fact I have had to refrain myself from buying every phonics program on the market, but space and budget will not allow it. Thanks again! God Bless and I'm sure this will be very helpful to a lot of new homeschooling moms!

I'm totally intimidated by teaching reading to my little one next year (in two languages eventually!) so this was so great! I've heard a lot about the 100 Easy Lessons book and this was a great look at it and the other options, thanks!

great comparison video!

I love TYCTR in 100 ☺️ thanks for this informative video and sharing your thoughts

You went through great comparison.

I am using the ordinary patents guide and like it. My son likes the rhymes. But I only follow it loosely because it is quite repetitive and I can't follow a script to save my life. Great review.

I tried READ with my son and he disliked it so much that we decided to try Teach your child to read in 20 easy lessons and he LOVES it! We also have Alpha Phonics by Samuel L Blumenfeld which we might go through when we are finished 20 easy lessons. Thanks for sharing with us. So glad I found your channel. I was worried my adhd son would struggle with reading but he is doing great. Did you underline words when reading to your son when he taught himself to read? That's amazing that he figured it out himself.

Excelent move. ❤🥰❤🍀👏💫

We love the reading lesson book best! Like you said not intimidating. Nice video.

Thank you, very helpful video

I love this! I love Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, but I love seeing the different options and the pros and cons of each.
