Learning How to Read with Reading Buddy 2.0+

How to Teach Learning to Read in the Homeschool

Do you sometimes feel that there are just two options when helping your students learn to read English?

There’s the traditional approach to teaching children to learn to read.

But students too often become frustrated and become confused.

Reading becomes a chore rather than a pleasure.

You could take a different, multidimensional approach that’s based on solid research in education and psychology. Here, interactivity and accessibility promote enthusiasm to learn. Children learn to read much faster.

Reading Buddy 2.0+ was designed around the second approach. It is a comprehensive reading computer program that was designed from the start for use in homeschools. By involving the students’ vision, hearing, and motor skills, this reading software continually engages and challenges. At the same time, it makes reading a pleasurable, fun experience. For beginning students, Reading Buddy 2.0+ makes learning how to read both easy and exciting.

From Zero to 3rd Grade in 12 Months!

Many beginning students can complete Reading Buddy 2.0+ in as little as a year. By that time, they know how to read at least 3,000 words. That feat is accomplished by the end of the 3rd grade in most school districts.

Reading Buddy 2.0+ supplies you with nearly 400 lessons, practices, stories and games built around only six codes (basic rules) that are the keys to unlocking the mysteries surrounding learning to read English.

Helping You Manage

Reading Buddy 2.0+ provides you with extensive guidance that helps you manage your teaching time effectively.

For example, well before student begin any lesson or practice session, they should take the built-in Comprehensive Reading Readiness Assessment. This tool provides you with a highly detailed analysis of students’ level of preparation for learning to read. It also suggests which of the built-in remedial materials would be best for bringing the student’s readiness to an optimal level for learning to read.

Reading Buddy 2.0+ provides you with a cumulative record of your students’ performance. It meticulously documents your students’ responses and achievements. Most importantly, it precisely pinpoints those areas where your student needs more work.

Reading Buddy 2.0+ never requires that a student perform a specific task before moving forward. Instead, it provides advice to you who, after all, best knows the child’s capabilities. You determine which activity students take next.

Reading Buddy 2.0+ was created by a team of professional reading teachers and cognitive psychologists with a total of more than 75 years’ experience. Their efforts led to this well-researched framework for assessing students’ readiness for learning to read English, for specific and appropriate remediation when students are not quite ready, and extensive training when they are.

How Reading Buddy 2.0+ Works

The educational core of these programs is called The 6 Secret Codes. They provide a thorough grounding in learning how to read using the well-researched Syllabics Method that enables students to master a very limited set of universal rules (or codes) that govern how English words are read.

With almost no memorization, your students will learn to read and to spell more than 3,000 of the most common English words. This remarkable reading feat exceeds the vocabulary of most 3rd graders.

The Syllabics Method focuses on the syllable rather than the individual letter, as does the older Phonics Method. By shifting the focus in this way, students easily learn to know when to read a syllable with a long vowel or a short vowel sound, a task beyond the capabilities of the Phonics Method.

For example, using only the Phonics Method, students have difficulties understanding why the words some visually similar words must be read entirely differently. Consider:

• “ate” and “at”
• “me” and “met”
• “ice” and “icky”
• “oh” and “on” or
• “unicorn” and “up”

The Key to Success

Skilled adult readers instantly recognize that first word in each of these pairs is read with a long vowel sound and the second is read with a short vowel sound. Those readers have mastered the six fundamental codes taught in Reading Buddy 2.0+.

Those codes are the key that determine when to use the long vowel and when to use the short one.

This simple concept is truly the most critical factor determining a child’s success in a well-structured reading program.

Supplemental Materials Built Into Reading Buddy 2.0+

In addition to The 6 Secret Codes, Reading Buddy 2.0+ includes the following built-in modules:

The Abbreviated Reading Readiness Assessment provides a rapid assessment of a student ’s readiness to begin a program focusing on learning to read. Very quickly, it can tell you whether the child is fully prepared or whether a deeper probe of the student’s readiness is appropriate .

The Comprehensive Reading Readiness Assessment provides you with detailed analysis of a student’s readiness. You can then focus on just those areas that need more work before beginning formal reading lessons.

The Reading Prep Games – With the information provided by the Comprehensive Reading Readiness Assessment, you will be able to identify just those skills for which your student is weak. She or he can concentrate on improving them prior to advancing to The 6 Secret Codes in Reading Buddy 2.0+. Each Reading Prep Game provides entertaining game-like lessons that focuses on a single pre-requisite reading skill.

The Word Family Fun module provides extensive practice on the relationships within word families. This facilitates students generalizing their new skills to the accurate reading of entirely new words. It is recommended only for students who have begun work with The 6 Secret Codes module.

See how you can use Reading Buddy 2.0+ absolutely free to teach one or more children how to learn to read. There’s no obligation.
