I heard about this book from some of my friends, and it came highly recommended from the reading specialists and teachers at our elementary school. I have been feeling like a huge slacker for not teaching Isaac to read yet. I just think the earlier he can read, the earlier he can begin expanding his mind learning through books. My mother taught me to read pretty early, and I never had any problems with reading in school.
I love this book so far! It is only day 2. But I think we'll try to do two-a-days as much as possible. That will give Isaac and I a chance to learn together morning and night. The lessons are short. Probably 5-10 minutes, so it's quite easy to hold his attention. And by the end of Lesson 3 today, he read his first word: am. I am so proud of him! I love the style of the lessons, it is more effective than any other technique I have used in teaching Isaac to read (not that I've tried too hard), but this makes it easy to be a teacher, and easy to not get frustrated.
So hopefully in less than 100 days, my boy will be reading. I can't wait.

It's so great your teaching Isaac to read. I haven't read this book but I do really like the Eye phonic books. They have 5 sets of books that gradually get harder and it teaches new site words with every book. I love them. Alex has been reading for about a year now and I think a lot of it is because of these books. He loves being able to read a whole book all on his own. Oh and congrats on the pregnancy I think thats wonderful, you are such a great mom keep up the good work.
Thanks for the tip! I use www.starfall.com with Porter, you may already know about it but the little ones really love all the animation that goes along with the ABC's and Learning to Read. You are a great mom, I'm sure he'll be reading in no time!
