I am happy to say that Abeka's Reading Program is working out nicely for Sydney this year. She really struggled with reading last year and I was struggling with what to do about it. Since we started using Abeka's Phonics/Reading Program, I have noticed major improvements in her reading. She is grasping the principles that are needed for basic reading skills.
Abeka's Phonics Approach: Six Easy Steps to Reading
1. Learn to recognize the short vowels and their sounds.
2. Learn to recognize the consonants and their sounds.
3. Learn to blend a consonant and vowel together.
4. Learn to sound one-vowel words. (When there is one vowel in a word, that vowel usually says its short name.)
5. Learn the sounds of the long vowels. Learn to sound two-vowel words. (When there are two vowels in a word, the first vowel says its long sound, and the second vowel is silent.)
6. Learn and apply the special phonics sounds.
Learning to apply the special phonics sounds in her daily reading practice is helping Sydney gain confidence in reading.

If anyone else has a child that struggles with reading, take heart, there is hope. If my child can do it, so can yours!
