书籍简介

《阅读课程》是一套畅销的儿童阅读课程，通过20节简单易懂的课程，帮助幼儿学习阅读。它专为希望在家教孩子阅读的家长设计，提供循序渐进的指导。该教学方法基于自然拼读和关键词识别，凭借其创新且引导性强的教学方式，这20节课为教孩子阅读提供了一套简单易行的方案。该课程由儿科医生迈克尔·莱文开发，也已成功应用于残疾儿童的阅读教学。

如何使用《阅读课程》？

本书包含20节课。每节课大约需要两周时间完成（每天学习约15分钟）。在开始学习任何一节课之前，我们建议您先阅读该节课的说明。每节课都以介绍和学习步骤说明开始。例如，第二课会介绍字母“m”、“d”和“r”。课程开始时，会有一段介绍，其中包含一些建议和思考，帮助孩子掌握字母的发音以及如何将它们组合成单词。

每节课都包含单词、练习和短篇故事。阅读单词时，请让孩子告诉你单词的意思。在阅读故事之前，请先阅读标题并简单讨论一下故事内容。本课程的阅读技能基础是大约300个关键词。每节课都会介绍一组关键词。您的孩子应该在学习下一节课之前熟练掌握这些关键词，因为这些单词会在后面的课程中使用。

对于许多小读者（包括已经熟悉字母表的孩子）来说，单词中的字母似乎难以区分。一课的指导将教孩子基本的拼读技巧。本书采用的特殊排版和字体样式将帮助您的孩子识别和区分她已经认识的字母。这些线条、圆点和特殊图形作为引导，用于将字母组合成单词。这个过程称为“拼读”。一开始，拼读对大多数孩子来说都很困难。您需要帮助孩子，但随着练习，他会越来越熟练。

我应该以多快的速度学习这本书？

每日课程的长度和进度会根据孩子的年龄和能力而有所不同。我们建议以下安排：对于五岁以下的孩子，每天一页即可，这样可以让他们集中注意力。对于五到六岁的孩子，每天两到三页即可。对于六岁以上的孩子，每天三页或更多都可以。

孩子的注意力持续时间很短。尽量将每节课的时间控制在十五分钟以内，每页的学习时间不要超过五到七分钟。如果您的孩子年龄较小，请不要着急！以轻松舒适的节奏进行学习。请记住：您有充足的时间完成课程，如有必要，在孩子开始学校阅读课程之前，还可以回头重学一遍。

我的孩子多大可以开始学习阅读课程？

本书适用于3至8岁的儿童。我们不建议您尝试教3岁以下的孩子阅读。与一些声称可以教婴儿阅读的书籍相反，没有任何证据表明婴儿也能阅读。儿童需要具备一定的发育技能才能阅读。给婴儿看字母和单词卡片虽然很有趣，也能让我们觉得自己是好父母，但这并不能真正起到阅读作用！

《阅读课程》是一套完全符合儿童发育阶段的课程，简单易懂，让家长和孩子都能享受阅读的乐趣。本书是教孩子在家阅读的便捷经济之选，已在全球各地广受好评。不妨一试——您一定会爱上它！

The Reading Lesson is a bestselling program that teaches young children to read in 20 easy lessons. It is designed as a step-by-step course for parents who want to teach their young children to read at home. The teaching method is based on phonics and key-word recognition, and with its innovative and guided approach, the 20 step-by-step lessons provide an easy-to-follow recipe for teaching children to read. Developed by pediatrician Michael Levin, the program has also been used successfully for children with disabilities.

How do I use the Reading Lesson?

There are twenty lessons in this book. Each lesson takes about two weeks to complete (with about 15 minutes of study per day). Before starting a lesson, we suggest that you read the instructions for that lesson. Each lesson begins with an introduction and a description of how to proceed. For example, lesson two introduces the letters “m”, “d”, and “r”. At the beginning of the lesson, there is an introduction with some words of advice and thoughts on how to go through the sounds of those letters and how to read them in words.

Each lesson consists of words, exercises and short stories. When reading the words, ask the child to tell you what the word means. Before you read the story, read the title and talk a little bit about the content of the story. Approximately 300 key words form the basis of reading skills in this course. Each lesson introduces a set of key words. Your child should learn them well before you proceed to the next lesson, since these words are used in later lessons.

For many young readers (including children who are familiar with the alphabet), the letters in words seem to melt together. The instructions in Lesson One teach the child basic sound blending. The special typography and font style the book uses will help your child to identify and separate the letters she already knows. These bars, dots, and special graphics are there as guides and are used to blend the sounds into words. This process is called “sounding out”. At first, blending is difficult for most children. You will need to help the child but he will get better at it with practice.

How fast should I go through the book?

The length and the pace of the daily lessons will vary with your child's age and abilities. We suggest the following schedule: For children under five, one page per day will suffice and maintain their concentration on the lesson. For children between five and six, two to three pages per day will be sufficient. For children over six, three or more pages per day will be fine.

Children have a very short attention span. Try to keep each lesson under fifteen minutes, and spend no more than five to seven minutes per page. If your child is young, don't rush! Work at a leisurely and comfortable pace. Remember: you have plenty of time to complete the course and, if necessary, to go back and repeat the course before your child starts reading instruction in school.

How old should my child be when we start the Reading Lesson?

The book is meant for children between the ages of 3 and 8. We do not suggest that you try to teach a child under the age of three to read. Contrary to some books that suggest that you can teach infants to read, there is no proof that such a thing is possible. Children need certain developmental skills before they can read. Flashing cards with letters and words at a baby is a fun thing to do and makes us feel like good parents, but it does not work!

The Reading Lesson is a totally developmentally appropriate course that is easy to follow, and makes learning to read fun for parents and kids. The book is an easy and cheap solution to teaching your children to read at home, and has been a success with families all around the world. Give it a try – you’re sure to love it.
