Who remembers the old public service announcement about reading, that said “Reading is Fundamental.” Can anyone argue with that? Reading is the foundation of learning. I was thrilled to be contacted by Reading Horizons to review their Intensive Phonics Instructor Materials kit. This kit is designed for ages 4 to 9 so it was perfect for my 5-year-old and my 3-year-old could benefit too. The materials are great and make it so easy for parents to teach children all of the skills they need to read. I like the way the materials like the worksheets in the spiral bound book can easily be photocopied so they can be used multiple times and by more than one child, keeping the original untouched in the book. The charts and cards can be easily laminated so they are durable and hold up through multiple children. The fundamental phonics skills make it easy for kids to learn and feed off their confidence that will have them reading the books that come with the kit and everything else. This kit is also great for homeschooling, beginning readers, struggling reader and children with dyslexia.
