Love it
Review by Lucia
It is sweet, educational, and focused on Christ & the Gospel.
What’s not to love about this curriculum?! It’s definitely in my top 2 favorites (along with My Story K for my 4 year old so far.) it can be sped up or slowed down, may take 2 days a week or all 5, it’s a very flexible curriculum which is perfect to adapt to any kiddo just beginning to learn some phonics skills. I love it. My son is doing well and learning to read as a result of it.
Story telling
Review by Courtney
This is a fun curriculum that teaches phonics through Bible stories. It was simple to use and the lessons are short for little ones.
Easy and effective
Review by CATHY
I have used many Phonics programs over the year and this is one of my favorites! The lessons are usually short and keep my son's attention. I find that the way letters and letter blends are introduced makes sense. It also explains the different sounds that 'a' and 'c' make for explain, plus silent 'e' along with other Phonics rules. Definitely a great program for veteran and new homeschoolers alike.
My 6 year old learned how to read so fast!
Review by Ellen
I absolutely love this phonics book. To give you perspective, a year ago when we first started it, she could barely read inside outside upside down - the berenstain bears book. 3 months later, while we were still working our way through this book, she read a 300 page kids novel all by herself. A year later, she can read anything. No problems at all! This was my first time teaching a child to read and it was so easy thanks to Master Books!
It's good, but really thorough
Review by A. R.
This is a good phonics book, it is very thorough. The lessons are a lot of reading to the kid... Mine kind of tune me out after a bit. He's only four, and he knows the top 70 phonograms. So I think this book is both too advanced in listening requirements and too slow for what he already knows of phonics. So in other words it's good but wasn't great for us.
Great curriculum
Review by Lacey
I have now used this book with all 4 of my children and love it. I love how it includes the Bible stories with the learning of letter sounds. It really helped my children learn to read and gave them a strong foundation to build upon.
Love it
Review by AJ
This was great for my daughter!
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!
