| Alpha-Phonics: A Primer For Beginning Readers by Paradigm Company Depends on your style |
| I bought Alpha-phonics with the hope that it would be a simple way to teach my five year old how to read. She thinks it is boring. I now use it as a tool. I use the words from each lesson to create my own games and activities. We've made our own books using the words from the lessons, created word sorts, played matching games with rhyming words, etc. My daughter has learned a lot but it is because I've made the lessons more hands on. I believe in a balanced literacy program when it comes to reading. The learner needs to see the words in text too. In summary, Alpha-phonics is a great tool but my daughter needs more then what it offered. |
| Alpha-Phonics: A Primer For Beginning Readers by Paradigm Company A great system that works! |
Simply great. My 5-year old asks to do "another lesson, please!" every day.
We only started a week ago and it's amazing to see my son's excitement as he reads his first sentences of 3-letter words.

| Alpha-Phonics: A Primer For Beginning Readers by Paradigm Company Effective . . . but boring |
| I used Alpha-Phonics to teach my daughter to read. It was effective, she is an excellent reader and I do think that Alpha-Phonics gave her a strong foundation. We both grew to dread the time we would sit down to use it. I am not using it for my second daughter, we will try the "Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Easy Lessons" instead as it came highly recommended. If that doesn't work, I would return to Alpha-Phonics because I know it works . . . but I won't be excited about it. |
| Alpha-Phonics: A Primer For Beginning Readers by Paradigm Company The best reading program around. |
| Alpha Phonics is great - no silly stuff, no picture hints. The student must use the tools he has been taught to figure out the words. I have used this program successfully for a 4 year old who was begging to read (4 months to fluency), an 8 year old reluctant reader (1 year to fluency), and I passed that tattered copy along to the mother of a 12 yo "profoundly retarded" special needs foreign child who was told the child would never read. That young lady finished the program in a month, and learned English at the same time. I am on my third copy of this manual, over 16 years. |
| Alpha-Phonics: A Primer For Beginning Readers by Paradigm Company Discovered my teaching style wasn't so simple... |
| I thought I would really like this no-frills phonics list, but now I know that even I would prefer a little more "jazz", not to mention my kids! |
