It is an easy-to-follow reading curriculum packaged into a series of charming workbooks that can be used by parents at home or by teachers in a classroom. Perfectly aligned with the science of reading, the books teach phonics systematically, with each step building on the one that came before. In addition to phonics, the books introduce sight words in order of frequency of use and tell you which decodable readers children can read from the very start. They give you step-by-step instructions on exactly what to say and do with the child, lots of worksheets that allow the child to practice and reinforce each lesson, as well as board and Bingo games and online activities that make learning to read fun for both you and the child.

Review :
Irene is remarkable at teaching children how to read. How wonderful that the skills Irene so clearly and beautifully taught my children are now available in these books for parents and teachers to use--actress Kate Winslet. I recommend this excellent book to parents helping their children in their very first effort to learn to read. The method teaches phonics; on top of being considered the more correct method to truly 'read' and not only 'recognize' words, it very naturally allows the child to break down the work into small units around specific groups of letters. Key sight-words are also presented. The workbook includes games and drawings that my kids like to color. This book has definitely kick-started and structured our work together toward fluent reading--Michele Vettorazzo This workbook has been instrumental in teaching my daughter to read. As a parent, it can be hard to know where to even begin in teaching reading. The book takes a lot of parental stress out of the equation. The workbook gave clear, age-appropriate instructions for each beginning stage of reading and you just follow the workbook page by page. My daughter found the activities doable and fun. We have seen huge strides in her, and she can now read short books--Adam Doctor
