| Summary: | Authors Cynthia A. Barnhart and Robert K. Barnhart, who have long been involved with Let's Read, have refined the original edition with new vocabulary and content based on feedback from longtime users. The new edition lightens the first learning load by presenting lengthy patterns in two lessons rather than one, adding more connected reading and new vocabulary, and introducing some sight words earlier in the sequence. The authors have also added a list of multisyllable words at the end of part 1 that fall within the patterns of the first lessons, and they have added some longer stories later in the program. The notes introducing each part of Let's Read have also been revised to be more informative, and new illustrations have been added. "The system is totally orderly, totally logical, and virtually foolproof. It is strictly a reading system. Reading is means, process, and end." Charles C. Walcutt, Council for Basic Education (CBE) Bulletin. "Let's Read may well be the most important book on beginning reading in our time; the important point is that here is a new methodology soundly based on psychology and linguistics ... The lessons are ingeniously constructed to induce smooth, rapid progress. Let's Read is not just another reading text; it is a new system." Russell Cosper, Journal of Reading Development --Book Jacket. |
