Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons

Amy has finished using 100 Easy lessons! At first, I was just thrilled that we were done. Then it hit me. I have had three different copies of this book. This book has been a staple of some one's curriculum for the last four years!

I wish that I had take a picture of my last copy before I threw it away. The front cover was gone, as was the back. There were several stickers, notes, and hand drawn pictures through out the pages.

My first copy of this book has become a world traveler. When visiting Wycliffe's sister program Summer Institute of Linguistics, I had the pleasure of getting to meet several Wycliffe missionary families. Education of their children was a topic I could actively participate in. It was a great pleasure for me to be able to provide information on homeschool curriculum. In the end I gave my copy of this book to a family who is serving the Lord in Thailand.

My second copy sprouted legs and walked off. I'm not sure where. I probably let someone borrow it and forgot who I loaned it to. If it was you, keep it, or pass it on to another family.

My third copy has traveled to Victoria, Yellowstone, and many place between. It has been stepped on, dropped, slept on and read. If it was the velveteen rabbit it would be very close to being real!

If you are looking for a phonics based program to teach your children to read I would give this book five stars! After finishing a lesson I let the Miss Marches enjoy http://www.starfall.com/

Now that all of the March girls are literate, what shall we conquer next?
