Bonkers247 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I've never had a child quite like my rising kindergartner. The programs I have used for the older three children are not going to work for him. He learns best by doing so I need a program that is more than just a workbook. He needs lots of hands on materials and activities to help him learn. What is the best reading program for a curious, busy 5 year old boy? He already knows his letters but not many of the sounds associated with them. He has a small grasp on rhyming words and definitely needs some more work in this area. Thanks in advance for your help! Quote

908874 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 :Have you looked into all about reading? :) This is what I was going to say :) They have samples on the website and placement tests. I just started pre-reading with DD. First lesson's craft was my kind of craft (color, glue googly eyes on alligator) and a very fun rhyming game. Pre-reading is heavy on the rhyming and learning letters. AAR1 is more phonics which sounds that it is what you need good luck. Quote
MerryAtHope Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 AAR Pre-reading would be a good fit--some review with learning the letters, but lots of focus on rhyming and other phonological awareness skills, letter sounds, and so on. Here's the placement test if you aren't sure whether that would be better or AAR 1. Quote
TriciaT Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Logic of English foundations would be another super hands on curriculum for reading. My super active dd has loved it. So many games and hitting the same material in such a variety of ways that she is never bored with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
My4arrows Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I would also recommend AAR- either the pre-reading or level 1 Quote
mamachanse Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I love Reading Reflex. It is inexpensive, fun, easy to implement, and it does the job. Quote
Jadde32 Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I love alpha phonics its less than 30 dollars and its the only book you will need to teach phonics. It teaches all 144 sounds of the English language. No colors, not fun just hard core phonics that works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
