Back in September, we were very pleased to announce that we had become the publisher for Valerie Bendt’s Reading Made Easy. Reading Made Easy is a complete, phonics-based, reading instruction program. Valerie and her husband Bruce have homeschooled all six of their children and literally thousands of children have learned to read using her easy, step-by-step, reading program. One of the best things about Reading Made Easy is the love of reading that Valerie exemplifies and communicates throughout. In the appendix, Valerie lists eight pages of recommended books for parents to read aloud to their children – these are the children’s classics, time-tested titles like Curious George, Peter Rabbit, and Madeleine. Also included are two pages of suggested first readers for children.
We are now VERY pleased to announce that there are now four Student Activity Books available which supplement and provide additional practice for the lessons in Reading Made Easy. Each of the four Student Activity Books covers 27 of the lessons in Reading Made Easy and provide:
- Word/picture match-ups and other exercises to strengthen phonics and decoding skills
- Sentences, poems, and mini stories to develop reading comprehension
- Copy work passages from Reading Made Easy with space to complete the writing exercises
- Space for the drawing and creative writing exercises suggested in Reading Made Easy
The Reading Made Easy Student Activity Books offer parents and teachers the additional materials to make sure their students master each lesson before moving on to new concepts. It also enables the students to create notebooks which display the material they have learned. The notebooks are wonderful keepsakes and are a valuable addition to students’ educational portfolios.
Here are some sample pages:
