2nd time using with our kids
Review by ashley
We LOVE this phonics curriculum. As a child (mom) I struggled to learn to read. I was terrified. My 2nd kid is now doing this book and I feel so confident because i've seen it work. My first did phonics then language with masterbooks and he is now reading chapter books at 7 years old. My 2nd kid learns different but is THRIVING with this phonics. It's gentle. We go at her pace and she is really catching on. The biblical focus is perfect. It flows beautifully. Thankful is a understandment.
A great transition to MB
Review by CharlotteAK
I switched my daughter to Master Books halfway through her kindergarten year. The previous curriculum we used was leading to burn out and my daughter was shutting down when it was time to do her language. We started with Foundation Phonics and really enjoyed it. We went through it quickly, but it helped build her confidence. It’s also a Bible curriculum, which helped both of us learn more about our faith. I like the gentle approach of Master Books.
Loving it!
Review by Amie
We started the first semester of kindergarten using a different reading curriculum for my daughter, but quickly realized that it wasn’t going to work for us for several reasons. I did a lot of research before switching, and I am so glad we did. She went from hating reading lessons to enjoying them and quickly gaining confidence in her ability to learn to read. I initially thought it might be too easy for her because she already knows the letter sounds and can sound out many short words, but I am very glad we started with this book as a review before going on to level 1 because she is doing great with it. We are about a month in and she is loving it! Very glad we switched to MB and started with Foundations Phonics!
A great refresher
Review by Jessica
We used this book for my daughter during 1st grade just to make sure that she had a solid foundation, as she was already reading short books. By the end of the semester she was able to read on her own and has blossomed into a very strong independent reader. At first I wasn’t sure if this was necessary for her since she could already read some but I’m so glad we went ahead and went through it. She’s now reading on a 3rd-4th grade level as a 2nd grader this year.
Just wow!
Review by MamaG
My son is a struggling reader and I was having a hard time connecting the dots with phonics for him. This book is giving him confidence especially with the connection to reading the Bible stories and the truths it implements throughout I will be saving to use with my daughter once she is ready as well!
Simple and effective
Review by Jessica
My first grader already knew how to read when we purchased the Foundations Phonics book but I know how important having exceptional reading skills is during their young years. She is an exceptional reader thanks to this book!
Outstanding!
Review by Sarah
We are starting our 4 yr old out with this phonics book before he moves into the LA1 book. He knows all of his letters and their sounds, and is reading 3 letter words, but hasn’t fully grasped the concept of reading yet. I LOVE how this book builds on itself. At first, I thought it would be really boring for him to “learn” 1 letter per day, but that’s not all that you’ll find in this book. It takes your child through the story of creation, fall of man, and on through Genesis as they learn about each letter. After the first 3 letters, they begin to form words so that they can feel that they are learning to read very quickly! I love that it not only offers a great pace for learning to form words, but it also offers a Bible lesson every day!
Love it
Review by Morgie
I like tha lt reviews the alphabet, then eases into the phonics and sight words. My kid struggles with reading and this is a great book for refreshing their memory, and then moving forward into reading.
Loved!
Review by Miranda
This book is amazing! Helped my kiddo read and it's very thorough. Great resource to have.
Simple and Biblical
Review by Colette
We loved the progression and connections for each letter sound and the Bible stories. It seemed to take a long time to get through each sound and it took longer to get to the Language Lessons for a Living Education book. We still really enjoyed it and my daughter was excited about learning about each sound.
