Shellydon Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 without any problem, but she is really resistant so I want to try something else. Suggestions please and thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&Rs Mom Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Mine did well with Phonics Pathways - lessons are really short so you can go through a few in a day if they want more, and you can skip ahead to where they need to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyz Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I wonder if she is resistant because it's not really a challenge? Maybe move up to the point where it becomes a challenge? Also, you could try having her read one Bob Book or a phonics reader with pictures after each lesson as a reward. Some kids just want to read books with pictures. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Phonics Pathways similar to OPGTR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2scouts Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 We are using The Reading Lesson. It's very gentle and seems to be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladydusk Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) All three of my kids hated reading OPG out of the book. I used magnet letters, wrote on white boards, typed up the lessons with just the student part, made booklets for them to illustrate with the silly stories, and did other things so they didn't have to read out of that busy book in the beginning. It worked great! By the time we hit lesson 70 or so, all three were OK with reading out of the book with no complaints. I do give them an index card to hold under the words and sentences they're reading. My littlest one is around Lesson 160 and I'm kinda sad to be nearing the end. All three are strong readers and have thrived using OPG. ETA: Oh, yeah, and we use bribery, too. I made some charts like they use for summer reading program and she gets to put a sticker over the lesson number when she completes that lesson. Sometimes that sticker is the only way we get through the lesson. Edited August 21, 2012 by ladydusk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
