I was given the opportunity to review a great program known as Reading Horizons. I was beyond ready to jump in to this review, and for you lovely readers a GIVEAWAY!!
However, let's start with the "boring" part- the review! ((Which I honestly loved taking part in!))
Reading Horizons sent me a wonderful package, that I was rather excited to see show up. It contained everything I needed to get this review off on the right foot.
*Parent Manual Volume 1 & Volume 2
*Sound Essentials for Elementary Education Book
*4 Story Books (Up to 32 stories!)
*3 Posters (Phonics, Decoding, Vowels)
*9 (single sheet) Most Common Word Lists
*2 (single sheet) Charts (sounds, blends)
*28 Sheets of "Cards" that are everything from letter groups to blending and everything in between!
*Black Bag to keep it all in
*Cute grey & blue shirt !!
It sounds like a lot but it really does all fit together and becomes a tool for you to help your child read better. (Or begin reading!!)
After the first few days of using this product with my daughter I was skeptical due to her persistent complaining about how she'd never get better. This was all her, I knew she could do it I just wasn't sure if she had the patience with me, as I was moving slow to make sure she got off to the right start.
Once I picked up the pace a little bit we were off- and she never looked back!
At the beginning of this school year my Princess was reading at the end of a first grade level and even that was iffy at times. ((SIX WEEKS AFTER STARTING THIS PRODUCT!!)) She took a reading test last week, all computerized, she was reading at the beginning of a THIRD grade level!! She reads to me nightly now and loves every minute of it. I will without a doubt continue using this product to improve her skills and then again on my sons when they are ready to read.
The company itself? Fantastic! Their website has everything you could need from eNewsletters to a social networking outlet. My favorite part? They have a support system right on line!
I would highly recommend this to any parent or at home school "teacher" to use on their child(ren). This product has made life at our house a LOT easier since our Princess can read better. Homework isn't as much of a hassle, and she even reads to her little brothers!
Thank You Reading Horizons!!
