This is a book to help young readers learn the "hard words" that are found on first and second grade word lists and in early stories. Examples from school books: "What was that?" "Where were they, then?" "We went there and found these, but those are their lost shells." I call these words "sticky words." Kids get stuck on them. Reading easy phrases in this book will help your child to really remember the words that may seem confusing and may even look alike, at first. The practice begins with the list of the words we are using, with each word presented in a short sentence for comprehension. Then, each word is given a page of its own where it is used numerous times in short, easy-to-read phrases. The next step is phrases with two “sticky words” combined, and finally, short entertaining stories. This method unravels the mysterious "hard words."

One of my specialties is as an educator is my "Early Childhood Education" series that includes teaching classes of parents and conducting lectures where I teach adults how to teach their preschool children to read. I taught my own children to read when they were between two and three years old. I found this to be easy and fun to do. Each child was reading at a second or third-grade level when entering kindergarten. This did not prove to be a problem at all because my children loved school.This book shares my methods and activities for teaching preschool children to read. The steps are plainly explained and easy to follow. The progression of the steps is in line with how children learn and each step leads to the next with ease. I am confident that you can succeed in teaching your preschool child to read. My Kindergarten books comes next, with easy, kid-friendly stories to learn to read.I have also published eBooks with beginning-to-read stories set in the Green Forest and the Green Meadow, each series with animal friends and their adventures. Preschoolers who learn to read can find fun in these books, and many MORE books in my published collection.
