Reading for Kids is Shelterwood Books' Beginning Phonics Reading Program

To help someone learn to read you do not have to be a highly qualified, state certified, board approved reading teacher! If you can read this page, speak English and follow simple instructions, then you can successfully teach the skills necessary to help others learn to read. Shelterwood Books and Teacher Resources' beginning phonics reading program, Reading For Kids (and Adults!) breaks the process of learning to read down into small, manageable parts. It is packed full of reproducible phonics worksheets and comes with reproducible flashcards and alphabet tiles. By following the clear, simple instructions, you will be directed step by step in teaching someone to read.This program will not interfere with any phonics program your child is learning in school. I once believed that teaching someone to learn to read must be a difficult and mysterious task otherwise why would America have such a poor literacy rate? Why can't Johnny learn to read?I still can't fully answer those two questions, though I do have some definite ideas which I'll save for another page. But, I can tell you that there is nothing mysterious about it. The Reading For Kids (and Adults!) Beginning Phonics Reading Program was designed for anyone to be able to use with ease. It is very user friendly! Lynda Delo
