I love, love, LOVE explode the code for beginning readers. My MIL, who’s homeschooled 8 children all the way through recommended it to me and boy is it a great program.

I started my 6 year old on the primers 2 years ago and he’s already reading THE magic treehouse books in his head instead of out loud. (He just picked one up this weekend on his own and he’s at chapter 3 already.)

They are a very simple, predictable format. At 4 he could do it fairly independently already and the books are cheap. $6 each I think. It’s cost me less than $60 for 2 years of teaching my child to read.

SO that’s my ringing endorsement.

I used Spectrum workbooks for both of my older children for phonics. The workbooks teach them the basic rules, read alouds allow them to hear reading, and individual reading gives them lots of practice. This has worked well for us.
