As you know, we do not use traditional school. We are considered homeschoolers and very much lean towards the ways of unschooling. In my opinion, if you can read, you can do anything! Reading is the key to learning and doing.
Most schools teach kids to read with phonics. But, did you know that in English, only 20 percent of the words are spelled phonemically and there are 1,768 ways of spelling forty phonemes? To handle the challenges of sounding-out, phonics has created almost 600 complicated rules. Geesh, talk about confusion and pressure. It needs to be expanded on.
Reading Kingdom uses a patented “Six Skill Method” of reading instruction. This program uses the best parts of phonics and whole language while teaching additional skills required for reading and writing success – with no rules to memorize.
We like no rules!
Reading Kingdom is a patented curriculum designed by Dr. Marion Blank, the Director of the Light on Learning program at Columbia University and a world-renowned expert on literacy. Reading Kingdom is the only program that teaches children all 6 skills required for reading and writing success.
– a fully customized, adaptive reading and writing program for each child, and
– a program that is fun and easy to use.
Lauren has been using the Reading Kingdom program. Lauren and Emma have been teaching themselves to read for awhile with little help, it is absolutely amazing to watch. Now that Lauren is using Reading Kingdom, it is helping her to work on some of the areas she was having problems with before. She likes to use and and says it is fun. Thing is? We don’t require her to do it. She is welcome to log on when she wants to and this instills a deeper drive in her to learn, because she is doing it because she wants to.
Key benefits of the Reading Kingdom:
- It provides adaptive instruction customized to each student.
- It can be used by most students on their own.
- Students enjoy doing it.
- It works with any other curriculum.
- It works with students who are not native English speakers (ELL & ESL).
- It works with students who have learning disabilities.
- It provides a groundbreaking, research-based, common-core aligned and highly successful method of reading instruction.
