Learning to read doesn’t have to be labor intensive or time consuming. Hannah and I have gotten to experience first hand how much fun the Learning Dynamics Reading Program is over the past few weeks as we’ve reviewed this children’s reading program from Learning Dynamics.
What Does the Program Consist of?
The Lesson Manual contains all the lessons for the entire program. Each lessons takes less than 15 minutes to complete. The letter lesson introduces the individual letter and the letter’s sound to the student. With each letter there is a short story that goes along with the letter. The instructor is instructed to emphasize that specific sound all the way through the story.
The child then listens to the corresponding letter song on the music CD. After listening to the letter song, the student completes the worksheet in the student workbook. The lessons primarily have just one worksheet page where the student writes the letter and then colors the pictures that begin with that letter.
After completing the worksheet, the student again listens to the letter song. To complete the listen they work through the final check which consists of reviewing the letter and it’s sound. The student then gets to keep the letter reward.
Beginning with lesson seven, the student learns to blend the letter sounds to make words. They start reading their first book with lesson 10. By being able to start reading books so soon it really gave Hannah a lot of confidence.
Learning Dynamics has over 50 full-color reading books. The reading books are divided into four sets;
- Set 1: Short Vowels
- Set 2: Long Vowels
- Set 3: Consonent Blends
- Set 4: Diagraphs
The Letter Rewards have full color pictures and the letter to help the child remember the sound the letter make. These letter rewards are given to the student at the end of each lesson. Hannah has really enjoyed getting her letter rewards!
What Do We Think About Learning Dynmaics?
Hannah has loved working through this reading program. She has never once asked not to have to “do school,” in fact, it’s just the opposite, she begs to do it. I have found that it is so easy to use. The lessons have a consistant flow which makes it easy to know what to expect each day. I like that the lessons are only 15 minutes each which is good for a younger girl who likes to do school and get it done so she can go play. I also like that the corresponding books ensure that the student has covered the material necessary to be able to read the book. That helps eliminate frustration for the new reader.
Another thing that I really like is that everything is reusable except the student workbook which can be purchased seperately for $17.99 making it very reasonable to use with multiple kids.
