“School boards should be pressured as much as possible to teach
reading via the Direct Instruction method of phonics. And if they
won’t, there’s what I call the magical book: Teach Your Child to
Read in 100 Easy Lessons, by Englemann with Phyllis Haddox and
Elaine Bruner. I’ve seen this method work in my own home, having
used it with both of my children and watched that light go
on.” —John McWhorter, The New York Times
"With its short lessons, intuitive alphabet, clear lessons and
hands-on learning component, Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy
Lessons can be an easy, compact and affordable way for parents to
get children reading quickly." —Anne Miller, The Smarter Learning
Guide
"Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons is incredible. I owe
this book, author and method a huge thank you—my daughter can read
now, and more importantly, reads for fun. Plus, it's an interesting
way to teach phonics I hadn't seen before." —David Weller, The
Barefoot TEFL Teacher
“While working within a university-school partnership, I trained,
supervised, and guided my teacher candidates as they implemented
Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons with the lowest
performing first grade readers at a large urban elementary school.
Semester after semester, I witnessed children who were considered
'nonreaders' or poor readers advance to reading with joy and
confidence and candidates who became skilled and proud of their
newfound craft.” —Dr. Susan Syverud, Ph.D
"I have spent years of my life being passionate about literacy and
reading... In college I took a path that led me to keep teaching
younger and younger children, trying to figure out why they were
not prepared until I began directing childcare centers in 2015. I
keep hearing/finding the same things. Children are not being taught
to read! And parent/teachers have no idea this is happening until
about 2nd or 3rd grade. The main reading curriculum is not
scientifically researched or backed! Being an educator in this
work, I recognize all the care, thought and research it takes to
create a resource like this that is so easy for children and
facilitators to understand and teach!” —Brittany Lemons, Family and
Community Engagement Specialist–Birth to Five Illinois
"Teach Your Child to Read In 100 Easy Lessons has been endorsed by
the National Right to Read Foundation as an exemplary instructional
program for teaching children to read...The program is academically
sound--the results speak for themselves. The continued problem of
illiteracy is an enormous one, but [this book has] made a very
significant contribution to solving one of American’s greatest
needs.” —Robert W. Sweet, Co-founder and Former President, National
Right to Read Foundation
