Learn to Read For Kids with Dyslexia, Volume 2: 125 More Games and Activities to Teach Your Child to Read (Phonics Makes Readers)

My daughter enjoys this workbook. It seems to be helpful and isn't like pulling teeth to complete.

My daughter is going into 2nd grade. She knows all of her letter sounds and tests well. However, she absolutely can't read a book - even a level 1 kindergarten reader. I was frustrated that teachers weren't seeing this because she was testing well (don't ask me how). Her first grade teacher suggested she may be dyslexic but didn't pursue it. I noticed my daughter starting to tick the boxes of symptoms, going way back to her delayed speech. So I bought this book as step 1 in an effort to help her "catch up".At first, I was afraid this book may be too basic, but as we progressed I noticed the way she thought about words started to change. The activities are very fun - from bowling letters to popping balloons to skiing slopes and mixing potions. And lots of coloring! It doesn't "feel" like work to her. And it's mess free! No cutting and gluing, thank God.I would write out the words for my daughter so that she could see how they were broken up, since she understood basic phonetics. That helped her to visually understand stretching a word to read it. And I would often have her read the words rather than reading them to her. By breaking the words up, she was usually able to read them herself.The book goes from 3 letter words to 4 and then introduces digraphs and blends. It very slowly encourages kids to write more of their own letters. I've been very happy with it and the progress we've made. She's finally understanding that words that have the same ending often sound the same at the end, so all she has to change is the beginning sound, and she's getting the concept of rhymes.And if you're ever unsure of what a picture represents, there's a teacher's reference in the back. But I never found this to be a problem, as I sat next to my daughter and went over the work with her.We're about 3/4 of the way through the book now, and I'm not ready to try readers just yet, but I DO feel like we can start progressing to incorporating sight words and building back up those foundations of reading.I would definitely recommend this book for any struggling reader, though I do feel that any child mentally older than 9 would probably find this book too babyish.

This is a great book. My daughter (5-years) likes the games. I also really like the games and appreciate the instructions. I really wish I had this book as a kid. We both feel successful doing the exercises.I do wish the book moved slower (had many more skill practice sheets)- it advances in skill too fast (even for a typically developing child).

This book has been a fun twist on learning to read for my dyslexic child. She has APD and this has helped boost her confidence. I would recommend to others with the same issues.

My son likes to do 3 pages a day and reminds me to do them together. I've tried other work books and he has lost interest in those. But enjoys doing these together.

Gave me tricks to apply while teaching, as am home schooling. Example the word "bed" used good colorful pictures as a bed with the b as the pillow.

Basic phonics. I got this for my second grader and seemed a little too easy for her. I would recommend for kindergarten and 1st grade. Very easy to follow along for both the parent and student.

This is exactly what we were looking for! So many different activities in the book and my daughter is looking forward to start working in the book! Thanks!

Great book to have.

My daughter loved these exercises! Amazing!
