I’m an educator by training and mother of five. I LOVE learning and I want my kids to love it too. So like you I was shopping for a quality, classical, homeschool product to teach my child to read.
Phonics Museum is a beautiful curriculum! Not only am I teaching my child how to read, but I’m also fostering familiarity with fine works of art. Phonics Museum material even looks good lying around my house! (Yay for lovely messes!)
Here’s what I was hunting for in a kindergarten and first grade reading program:
1. A solid phonics introduction – English has a logic to it which kids should learn early to help them decode words. But learning to read shouldn’t be overwhelming. (There are a lot of rules and exceptions in English!) So I also want my kids to be able to read many words by sight, quickly and fluently.
2. Music driven repetition – Kids learn best through song. I wanted the language sounds and rules conveyed in a way that we would enjoy practicing over and over again.
3. Quality primers that spark curiosity and educate in a Christian Worldview way. – Let’s use our time winsomely. Why spend precious hours reading “twattle”?
4. D’nealian or cursive handwriting practice – I did not want a program that taught block letter strokes which don’t transfer well to learning cursive penmanship later.
5. Something pleasing to the eye, not all primary colors and cartoons – Hey, we’ve got to look at this every day. Let’s see something that stimulates wonder and joy!
To cut to the chase, Veritas Press’ Phonics Museum, 1st edition met all five of my wish-list points. This approach to reading is not overwhelming for kids and they are motivated to progress. Once you find your groove with Phonics Museum, I believe you’ll enjoy many delightful learning sessions as well.
In the remaining review here (http://www.amymaze.com/2019/08/phonics-museum-experienced-review.html), I share how I see the pro’s and con’s of this curriculum, how it compares to Phonics Museum – 2nd edition and to some other reading programs, and tips for using it in your homeschool. There’s also video footage of my kids using it.
