Reading Made Simple Reading and Spelling Programme Level 2
About This Product
A spelling programme suitable for dyslexics and those needing a slower, more systematic approach.
This is the second book in the Reading Made Simple programme of phonics instruction.
The first level can be found here: https://teachsimple.com/product/phonic-spelling-programme-level-1-ages-7
It mainly teaches reading, but while doing so can help to strengthen a weak reader.
Reading Made Simple is a programme of phonics instruction that aims to make reading easier for everyone. This programme will give you all the tools you need to help a child gain confidence as a reader and/or writer, using phonics instruction.
It is popular amongst homeschooling families, but can equally be used by private tutors and is simple enough to be used to supplement school work by parents.
