diaperjoys Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm looking for phonics supplements/ programs for these two boys: Our third son... - knows all capital letter names/sounds - knows many lower case letters/sounds - is beginning to decode cvc words...read his first Bob book to me today - wants to read - not ready for tons of writing - enjoys cutting, pasting, & tiny bits of coloring - just beginning ETC primers; enjoys it, but it will be too much writing for these to be his exclusive learn-to-read program - turned 4 earlier this month Our second son... - easily handles the concepts in ETC 1, but dislikes the work - almost finished with box 1 of Bob books - almost finished with set one of Primary Phonics readers - reading isn't fluent, but he's decoding words well - likes coloring - is 5.5yo, very bright, but something about him gives me warning that it is best to go slowly & make sure the reading roots go deep lest he become discouraged and frustrated later. Any ideas? I'm wondering about McRuffy K for the 4yo, or maybe Hooked on Phonics. No clue for the 5yo, except to keep plugging away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartingOver Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) I love OPGTR, I never do anything in the book, we use anything but, chalk, paints, blocks, magnets, etc. WE have HOP K -2, Sonlight K readers, Leap Frog DVDs, TAG reading system ( both reg and jr. ), Super Why computers, Click N Read, Progressive phonics, I See Sam books, and tons of other kinds of readers.

daisychics Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I use OPGTTR with my dd. We're on lesson 89 and she's reading so well already. :D She just read Sam and the Firefly and The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat. We also have the MCP readers.

Terabith Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm a big fan of Headsprout. I like Reading Eggs, but the further we got in the program, I liked those lessons less, so I might get a free trial of Reading Eggs and see what can get done in a month. (See if you can find a coupon for a month long trial.) I can't do that for an entire program, but it was a great start. We supplement with I See Sam and Progressive Phonics readers.

kmacnchs Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 OPG all the way :) For those that are not writers but want to learn how to read, this is definitely the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
