5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book!, 16 Oct 2003
By A Customer
I bought this book as I suspected that my daughter was not enjoying the initial 'learning to read' exercises in school. How right I was! We started on the Sunday after I bought it and by the Wednesday she was reading on her own (the simple stuff of course but still). I highly recommend this as way to engage your child in learning to reading. The interactive nature of the exercises and the presentation keeps her interested and the whole thing feels like a game. Can't recommend it enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reflex Reading, 19 May 2003
By Kate Scaife (Beckenham, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
We bought this book for my son (age 5) who was not enjoying his first English lessons at school. Over a period of about 3 months he has become enthusiastic and confident about reading and writing and has made great progress in his class.
I would recommend this book to any parent with a child learning to read. The exercises are clear, straightforward and fun. I spend about 30 minutes, 3 days a week working through the book. One of the best things about this book is that it provides my son with the knowledge he needs to "work out" words whether he has come across them previously or not. He now has an automatic response to make the sounds he hears in the words and then to blend them together to get the word.
I am enjoying working together with my son ,seeing his progress and emerging confidence at first hand. The book is great; Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 9 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I am a newly qualified teacher (qualified June 2000) working with a Reception Class of 25 children in a school in Kent. Throughout my training I was never taught how to teach children to read - then I discovered Reading Reflex! It provides step by step instructions on how to teach ALL children to read through motivating games and activities. The majority of children in my class (20) have a reading age of 18 months beyond their chronological age - both the parents and headteacher are amazed by the childrens' progress, the head so much so, that she is implementing reading reflex across the whole school from September 2001. Don't waste your money, time and effort attempting to teach children to read with other methods that are proven to fail our children, start with reading reflex and you won't look back. On a final note, i would be very interested to hear from other people that have used reading reflex in teaching their children to read. (either parents/teachers
