Beth from Living Life Intentionally has created a follow up to her popular preschool reading program Reading the Easy Way–Reading the Easy Way! 2
…and I was lucky enough to receive a free copy to review!
Reading the Easy Way! 2 is a supplemental program for new readers in preschool and kindergarten. It is a hands on way to teach kids the words on the Kindergarten Dolch Word List in five, fun 15 minute lessons a week. Dolch words are the most commonly occurring words in English language children’s literature (at the time they were compiled) and after completing the program kids will know the first 100 Dolch Words.
Who would benefit from Easy the Way! 2?
- Kids who have successfully completed Reading the Easy Way!
- Preschoolers who have a grasp of letter-sound relationships and are beginning to” sound out” words
- Kindergarteners who have begun to master sight words and are excited to be able to read more
- Any early reader who is struggling with sight words
What’s included in the Program?
- 12 weeks of easy lesson plans and materials.
- 6 interactive games including Fishing for Sight Words, Home Run!, 2 version of Bingo, Detective Match Up, and Flip the Pancake.
- Fun practice activities like Roll & Read, Trace! Read! Stamp!, Sight Word Coloring, and Word Searches.
- 10 easy readers
- Progress charts
- Certificate of completion
My 4 1/2 year old is super excited to start reading like his big sister. He has been loving being able to sound out words and is so proud that he is able to read simple readers such as BOB books. He is also enamored with the idea of homework and loves to have something to work on while his sister is doing her daily reading and homework. Reading the Easy Way! 2 is perfect for him!
What I like about Reading the Easy Way! 2:
- Super easy to use and prepare
- Quick, short, interactive lessons
- Fun, active games that appeal to kids
- Review and practice of the 40 Preschool Dolch Words
Reading the Easy Way! 2 is not meant to be a complete language arts program (although Beth is working on one of those!) it is a way to teach kids who are ready, interested, (or required by school) to master sight words. It is also a great way to boost the confidence of struggling readers who may need extra practice.
