(How To Tutor, by famed writer Samuel L. Blumenfeld, first...)
How To Tutor, by famed writer Samuel L. Blumenfeld, first available 38 years ago has without change continued to be an outstanding resource to teach the Three R's. It has not changed because it works so well. It is a whole school in one book for only $ 29.95. Its three parts are (1) Sam Blumenfeld's amazingly easy to teach systematic, intensive phonics READING instruction program. (2) His effective CURSIVE HANDWRITING program and (3) his equally effective ARITHMETIC PROGRAM. Has been used by 100,000's parents, teachers and tutors. Mary Pride, leading homeschooling materials reviewer, calls it a best value. 298 pages. How To Tutor works at ALL ages. Anyone who can read can teach the 3 R's with it. WHY IS HOW TO TUTOR IMPORTANT? Dr. Blumenfeld warns: Most parents wait until their child is having difficulty at school before they think of providing remediation. Sometimes the child is so far behind, so confused, so frustrated by not learning in the first two grades, that the remedial program looks long and difficult. However, proper tutoring at the preschool level or in the first two grades, as a preventive measure, can make sure that the child has the foundation on which to build achievement. How To Tutor provides parents and teachers with a complete instructional program: step-by-step lesson plans in the Three R's. It originally was to help public school students. Since then the continued decline in many plublic schools made HOMESCHOOLING much more important. Homeschool families discovered what a gem this book is for them. (1) READING: The big problem today. How To Tutor shows how to avoid the confusion in teaching reading that prevails in our schools today. 117 complete lessons. Contains everything you need to teach your student to be a top reader. You learn the dirty little secret professional educators keep from you: It is really EASY TO TEACH READING! There are only 44 sounds (Phonograms) you need to teach your student to build a high level of reading skill. (2) CURSIVE HANDWRITING: Grandparents today are often shocked to learn that in many schools cursive is not taught. With How To Tutor you are given all the tools you need to teach this important skill with ease. Here is another little secret: Cursive can be taught BEFORE printing (ball & stick). There are only THREE basic strokes involved in cursive handwriting. Most children can learn these at a surprisingly early age. Learning about this will amaze you. 73 complete lessons. (3)ARITHMETIC: Quoting Dr. Blumenfeld: In teaching arithmetic it is important to convey the genius of the system itself. Next to the alphabet, it is the greatest mental tool ever devised by man. We should approach the subject with the excitement it deserves. Any teacher who makes arithmetic dull does so because he does not understand its beautiful simplicity, logic and facility which permits us to do so much with so little. HTT Arithmetic covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, weights, time, and the calender. Everything up to just before geometry and algebra. All this in 67 easy lessons. FINAL WORD: Anyone can use these lesson plans: students, parents, teachers, tutors, retired teachers, housewives and grandparents. Tutoring can be a good way to earn extra money while aiding people who need help to improve their reading, handwriting and arithmetic ability. Some of the claims we make may appear unbelievable. They are TRUE. We have heard from countless users who canot say enough about HTT's simplicity and effectiveness. See for yourself. Moneyback guarantee. HTT also available at Amazon in: How To Tutor eBook - CD ROM version (ISBN 9780941995474- $ 17.95) and Plastic Comb Bound version (ISBN: 9780941995252 - $ 29.95)

(Buy the set and save! This set includes Blumenfeld's 20...)
Buy the set and save! This set includes Blumenfeld's 2011 New, Revised Edition with Student Workbook and Instruction Manual; and a new addition to the Alpha-Phonics family, Blumenfeld's Alpha Readers (2013)! Mr. Blumenfeld created Alpha-Phonics (spiral-bound) to provide parents, teachers and tutors with a sensible, logical, easy-to-use system for teaching reading. It is an intensive phonics instruction program based on the author's many years of research and experience in the reading instruction field. It answers the need for a practical instruction program that anyone who wants to teach reading can learn to use with no special training. This program can be used to teach reading to beginners of all ages, older students in need of remediation, non-readers, adults who wish to improve their reading skills, dyslexics, the learning disabled, and non-English speakers who wish to learn to read English and improve their pronunciation. This program has also been successfully used with functionally illiterate adults. The Workbook teaches our alphabetic system - with its 26 letters and 44 sounds - in the following sequence: First, the alphabet, then the short vowels and consonants, the consonant digraphs, followed by the consonant blends, and finally the long vowels in their variety of spellings and our other vowels. The small, portable Readers (booklet paperbacks) accompany the text of Alpha-Phonics, providing opportunities for students to read at a level that matches their progress through the text. These eleven readers move from simple sentences to paragraphs to stories, ending with poetry. By the time a student completes this simple program, the phonetic reflex is well-established. Consists of eleven 12-page readers.

These are the SAME high quality Books available since 1985 and the same high quality CD ROM Version available since 2001(CD ROM is for PC only, NOT Mac).* The fabled Alpha-Phonics systematic phonics instruction program by Samuel L. Blumenfeld used by hundreds of thousands since introduced in the late 1970's. Alpha-Phonics is probably the simplest, most effective and reasonably priced phonics instruction program available anywhere. We have added TWO NEW SPECIAL FEATURES in 2015: 1.) Tips gleaned from 29 years feedback from users to help make Alpha-Phonics work even better for you; a 3 page insert and 2.) A second free CD ROM with several helpful instructional videos (Includes: 24 Reasons to Homeschool by Dr. Blumenfeld) and other supportive information. HERE IS WHY IT WORKS SO WELL: IT IS SIMPLE!! There are only 44 phonograms (Sounds) the child needs to learn. Reading, contrary to what you have been told, is easy to teach because all you have to do is teach the student to SOUND OUT the words they need to read. At first they sound the words out aloud, later they do it in their head silently. That is ALL there is to teaching reading. MOM get this: All 128 Lessons in Alpha-Phonics are covered in ONLY 14 pages of instructions for you. (See SAMPLE PAGES above) Students begin with short vowels putting together simple words (Like a with m = am or a with s = as) and progress to the more advanced words. With Alpha-Phonics the beginner can be reading simple sentences by lesson three, and that can even be on the first day! Other programs try to do too much. They inject grammar, pictures and other material, needlessly complicating the task. Alpha-Phonics just teaches reading only. Alpha-Phonics has as a BONUS: you teach SPELLING easily as you go (through simple dictation). Alpha-Phonics easily introduces over 3,500 words in its simple 128 lessons. Some can learn to read in only months. Alpha-Phonics works very well for older students, even grown adults who need remediation. NOW you get the benefit of having the program in both Book and CD ROM version so you can work back and forth between the two versions for ultimate results, or use either separately. Full money-back guarantee and 24/7 Helpline. Is there a negative about Alpha-Phonics? Yes. In the past 30 years we have heard only one criticism (Only a few times). It is: Some Moms say they think their child can become bored when taught by Alpha-Phonics. Why? Parents have been convinced that learning has to be fun. They believe games, card decks, cartoons/pictures, spin the needle tricks, etc. make it fun. They feel they have to entertain kids while teaching. But, this slows down the process. With Alpha-Phonics the student can actually be READING simple sentences even day ONE! Students do see lists of words in Alpha-Phonics lessons, but they quickly are READING those words; they are accomplishing, not being entertained. The Bells and Whistles in other programs slow the process and cost time and money $$. The huge sense of success in actually reading soon overcomes any short-lived boredom. We almost forgot the SUPER BONUS: Many ADULTS become BETTER readers while teaching their child! For further details on how the FREE CD ROM teaches search Amazon ISBN: 9780941995184. Amazon also has available a set of practice Readers and a practice Phonics Workbook to accompany Alpha-Phonics.

(Anyone who already knows how to read can teach reading us...)
Anyone who already knows how to read can teach reading using Alpha-Phonics. It is easy to use and free of the professional jargon characteristic of so many reading instruction books. Parents who wish to teach their children to read at home will find Alpha-Phonics particularly useful, as it does not have a classroom format which would need to be adapted for home-school use. Alpha-Phonics requires almost no teacher preparation. The 128 lessons are self-explanatory. However, a teacher's manual is provided offering practical suggestions for each lesson. Alpha-Phonics is printed in large, clear calligraphy suitable for beginning readers. The lesson pages were carefully designed to eliminate distraction and to focus the pupil's full attention on the work at hand. Alpha-Phonics contains a section of pre-reading alphabet exercises to aid in letter recognition before beginning the reading program. Alpha-Phonics produces significant results when used as little as ten minutes a day. Alpha-Phonics uses a phonogram approach. One vowel is presented at a time and reading skills are developed by studying all the possible word families of that vowel before moving to the next vowel. Alpha-Phonics provides extensive word lists and practice sentences to reinforce basic skills. As the pupil becomes more advanced, library books may be used for supplemental reading practice. While no separate readers are necessary, we do offer a set of readers which are closely coordinated to the material in the book itself. The word lists and practice sentences in Alpha-Phonics can be used for spelling and handwriting practice, so separate spelling or handwriting programs are unnecessary. Suggestions are given for introducing cursive handwriting.
