14,000 positive reviews. Worked on every kid I ever taught reading (English). Bi-lingual kids too. As early as 4 years old. In miracle time. Recommended to me by an old teacher, who said “they stopped teaching it, I have been trying to tell parents to get this book, the school system is hurting children.”

If you have kids or like to teach them how to read, get this book. You won’t regret it.

I taught my kids to read at 3.5 with this book. They all reached a 1st grade reading level by the age of 4.5.
My mother taught me to read on her magazines. The first words I read were "Sole Piatti", from a dish soap advertising.
Yup, the Engelmann book. Does exactly what it says on the title: "teach kids to read".
is this related to the new curriculum from this submission, or is it a different approach?
Thank you! I’ve been looking for a good phonics book.
Get it before it's banned!
