What Age Group is This Product Series Appropriate For?
This product series is appropriate for children ages 6-9 months up to the late teens. Due to the vocabulary and pictures, older teens and adults may find its content too juvenile or basic. (eReadingPro is currently working on a program designed for teens and adults.)
What Makes eReadingPro a 'Progressive and Systematic' Program?
When you commence this program, you will begin by presenting single words. A complete Presentation Schedule is provided which shows you clearly what words you will be presenting when, and how often. Upon completion of single words, you will then present couplets. All couplets are made up of single words that your child has learned up until that point. Each couplet is also shown according to the Presentation Schedule. At the end of couplets, you will begin presenting 3-word phrases. All phrases are compiled of single words that your child has already learned. Finally, when you present sentences (within the booklets) your child will be very comfortable and familiar with each word within the sentences, as they will have seen them over 100 times prior to seeing them in the sentences! Every instruction is clearly explained in both the Instructional Guide and Presentation Schedules and all of the supporting images are provided for you. This program has a very high rate of success for each child due to this progressive and systematic approach!
