Learn How To Teach Your Child To Read With Play

Archive for November, 2009

The first people who signed up for our newsletter and free online course are now half way through the reading programme having reached the twelfth and thirteenth letter. The results from the feedback that we are getting are very good and now there is the opportunity to actually buy the course for those whose children are moving forward more quickly. Some will still stay with the rhythm of one letter a week and there is nothing wrong with that at all. However some parents have been asking for a more rapid pace, something not possible in the autoresponder sequence, and now you can.

There are two ways to receive the whole course, Digital Download or USB. The course from a digital download which is in a zip file is $47, the USB version is $67 and also includes the access digitally so you can start straight away. All you need to do is sign up by sending a mail to lynne@teachyourchildtoread.net labelled “DIGITAL DOWNLOAD” or “USB”. We will then send you a payment request using Paypal which you can pay for with your own Paypal account or using a credit card. (As a special offer before Christmas we are going to give you two USB’s for just $20 more, $87 to get the course yourself and also give your friend a copy so that you can work through it together.

I work at Cambridge House Community College in Valencia. We have just made our first order of Usborne Books for the school and as a result the school gets 60% of the value of the order in free books and they can choose any they want from our catalogue. The school is excited by this free source of books and the parents are ecstatic because they now have a source of books that help them when they are helping to teach their children to read at home.

If you work at a school in Spain or are a parent of a child in a Spanish International School and want to help your school to get more resources for free as well as have an income stream in commissions for the person who becomes the Usborne representative at the school then just get in touch with lynne@teachyourchildtoread.net to find out more about how your child’s school can benefit from the tie up with Usborne books.

You can organise book fairs and special offers to help support the parents and children attending the school and at the same time you get a solid business working from home to complement and get extra income streams which is always nice in the current economic climate.

Well emergency over and Anita now well an truly recovered if you take out her now mortal fear of anyone in a white coat. I thought it was time to show what we are aiming for with the course and this website.

The Idea of Teach Your Child To Read

I have embedded a couple of videos and placed a few links here so that if you are hoping to teach your child to read you can see what we are aiming for. The videos of children reading at level way above their age are just there to show that it is possible using the systems we describe in the home study programme that you can sign up for on this page in the sidebar.

However, bear in mind that there is no secret formula here, these children can read because they have been taught to do so. It takes time and patience. In a recent book, Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell describes how there is no such thing as genius usually, just extreme practice with “genius” generally being born out of 10000 hours of practice. For these children we are not talking about genius, just allowing them to find out how to read using the tools provided and some care and attention at home. The ability to teach your child to read depends on you the parent. Use it.
