Teaching your child to read is probably one thing that every homeschooling parent worries about. Not only homeschoolers, but probably every parent in general. Of course as parents we want our children to be great readers, to love books and to love learning. I think parents these days are much more active in researching and in trying to learn the best ways possible for our children to be successful in life. By successful I am saying we all want our children to be happy, to feel good about themselves, and to thrive in this world. I hope being here with me today makes it easier on you and gives you the tools that will get your child reading and having a love for books.
The Royal Road to Reading
Montessori Early Reading Program
I am loving The Royal Road to Reading! Honestly, I have tried so many different programs over the years with my kids. It can be exhausting finding one that truly works. So finding one that offers you all of the knowledge, all of the materials, and all of the support you need to teach your child to read is amazing. I love that it offers you three DVD’s with booklets, all of the materials packaged separately to go with each level of learning, plus online resources. This makes it so much easier for you to have everything organized and ready. The other great thing about The Royal Road to Reading is you can use it with multiple kids, for instance I am currently working through part 1 with Bells, but I am also able to use part 3 for my six-year-old son who has some special needs. Yay!!
I just love that Age of Montessori doesn’t feel that reading is a race, instead they believe in teaching children at the best time, when the brain is eager to learn.

What great information! And you are so right in regards to parents wanting their child to become a great reader who loves books and learning. This program looks amazing! I’ll have to check it out.
I like how this program has some structure to it to help parents like me know when, how, and what to move on to, yet it’s flexible enough to follow the child’s lead. I know that my toddler starting learning letter sounds at the age of 18 months, and today at nearly 3 years old, I am a little “stuck” knowing where to go next. This program sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Love the multiple ways for learning… pictures, spelling, hands on approach.
Reading is such a wonderful thing. I know when it all snapped together for my son, his world just opened!
Looks like such great program. Love it when those learning sets come with everything! It makes me feel more confident to teach, and then I can add to it with my own tidbits as my confidence grows.
Thank you so much for writing this post and sharing what you have found to be the best program for learning to read. I’m excited to order my own and check this program out!
What a great source of info! I can’t wait to try some of these ideas. My 1 year old has been reading her books to us. I think we’re off to a good start and I’d like to keep the momentum!
How encouraging to hear of a program that doesn’t force a child to read at a certain time. I have two children too. Glad to see this program will work for both! Bonus for a homeschooler on a budget.
