O am sharing with a friend who is looking for a program for her 3 year old.

Yes, I’ve used Phonics Pathways with my older children starting at 4. We sat down everyday and read a page together for about 2 years. At times we went back 20 or so pages to review when the book became difficult. We didn’t find it dry, but I also wasn’t looking for an exciting program… just one that worked. 🙂

Currently I’m using The Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading to teach the letter sounds to my 4 yo. We’ve been having trouble learning the sounds, and the rhymes are working wonders for her. I plan on switching over to Phonics Pathways because I’m prejudiced towards it, having fond memories of using it with my older children.

Thank you for your comment!

Have you personally used either of these programs with your kids? I’m always interested to know how a program works, “when in action.” I agree that the progression of both of these programs is good! It will give a child a nice strong base in phonics. The only thing I don’t care for is that it’s a somewhat “dry” method for learning to read. For younger learners especially, that could pose problems. Anyway, thanks for your review!
