 Excellent! May 15, 2008
I had this book once before for my oldest and then had sold it only to realize I still wanted to use it for my other children.
Excellent condition and showed up at our door in a timely manner.
Very happy!

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons
If you can read and follow simple directions you can teach your child to read. Schools spend a lot of energy trying to tell you how complicated it is. Mr. Engelmann shows how simple it can be to do it right. And it is researched and trialled. If you have an IQ over 80, you can do it yourself.

Wonderful teaching tool May 11, 2008
Excellent teaching tool, but requires time & patience. I started this with my daughter when she was 3 and 1/2, and it took us 7 months to finish! After the first 4 weeks, she was not interested in do a lesson EVERY day, so we took days off, then as the lessons became longer, we ended up only doing half a lesson each session. Maybe your child has enough concentration to get through those longer lessons quicker, but for us it was like pulling teeth sometimes just to finish half. But it was definitely worth it. Towards the end of the book, her concentration was better, and she became interested in the actual story rather than figuring out the words. Now she's reading menus in restaurants, reading signs on the road--it's really cool. My plan now is to have her read her bed time books to me rather than the other way around. Definitely give this book a try if you're planning to teach your child to read.
It Works! May 8, 2008
This book is great! It was recommended to me by a teacher who uses it for her own children. We began using this book when my child was 3.5 yrs old and finished 12 months later. We took our time finishing the book and took last summer off from doing the lessons. It is time consuming but teaching a child to read does take time. Now my child is 4.5 yrs old and is reading her sister's 2nd grade books and decoding words like interrupted. I recommend this phonics based program to everyone.
 Successful For Us, But... May 5, 2008
My son and I began the DISTAR program approximately ten weeks ago and expect to complete the final lesson this week. Ten weeks ago my son's teacher told me that he was failing kindergarten and possibly had an undiagnosed learning disability. After completing most of this program, he has become one of the top readers in the class. Sounds like a ringing endorsement of the DISTAR program, doesn't it?
Not quite.
This book has worked for my son, but I am forced to agree with the other parents who claim the material is dry as dust. As an adult I have been bored almost to the point of tears by the lessons--they really are about as stimulating as reading through the federal tax manual. I doubt I could have persevered if not for the threat of my son failing kindergaten. If a parent has that level of motivation, the DISTAR method will work. If your child MUST learn to read in a specific time frame, the DISTAR method will work. For everyone else I'd recommend trying some other system first.
