The Ordinary Parent's Guide To Teaching Reading by Jessie Wise, Sara Buffington (2004, Paperback)

I purchased this book (from Ebay)! and the corresponding flashcards to teach my 5 year old how to read. It is scripted, so I know exactly what to say and the lessons are well organized (though numerous(231)! This is a no frills, basic phonics approach to reading instruction. I needed something that was fun and easy and didn't take too much time out of my already busy day. We spend 10-20 minutes per day 4 times a week, which is just right for the attention span of a five year old! It is multi-sensory, and starts with beginning vowel sounds through words on a fourth-grade level.
