This is a great book to read to build your confidence in being able to teach reading. It explains each part of the process so you as a teacher understand what your child should be able to do and what order to go in. BUT, it is not a step by step phonics curriculum. It is a guide to what and when, you would have to create the how. She gives you examples on how to do so with things you have at home. This is a very basic approach and it will work. If you want bells and whistles go a different route. If you want info, ease and success, this is a book for you. One other comment. You would probably need to be a teacher that has confidence in your ability to teach. This book will not hold your hand as you go through each step. It lays it out, encourages and then gets out of the way.
