How to Tutor

I've used this book with my homeschooling children and it is super easy, not time consuming at all and superior to all other programs we've tried! I would highly suggest it to anyone teaching their own or tutoring other children, especially those on a budget.

I have used this book recently in a summer tutoring program. The children I worked with needed remedial help and did quite well with the simple lessons. Previously, I had used it to tutor children who were behind for their age group. I recommend it for families on a very low budget who are planning to home school. It's like Ragu. It's all in there and you don't need much else other than your Bible.

I used Alphaphonics to teach my children how to read when they were 4 and 5 years old. It was thorough, VERY easy to use, and worth every penny (and there weren't very many of them needed!). "How to Tutor" is indeed the same thing-different format-and every bit as excellent. I used Mr. Blumenfeld's ideas on teaching cursive )included in this book. I strongly recommend to anyone, buy "How to Tutor" and save your money for those reading books for your children, when before you know it, they'll be reading them, thanks to Mr. Blumenfeld's book. It really IS all that's needed. For all of you who are insecure about teaching your child to read, use this and be encouraged, your child is teachable, especially by you. Just take the lessons in this book and write them on a chalkboard and discuss it with your student (great, by the way, for teaching those of any age who never really learned to read properly) Have you gotten the idea that I REALLY like this book? Don't let the price fool you, you CAN get great stuff cheap.

Happily I located this book through The Paradigm Company (now in its 17th printing.) We created a race track with a prize for each time around the track, representing 12 lessons. Ten times around the track and YOU CAN READ!!! Our seventh grade daughter just scored 13.5 grade level in language with the foundation provided by this book. My first copy fell apart after three children, so I tracked down a new copy to teach my fourth child to read. It's great
