As a parent, the development of my child is of the utmost importance to me.
But I’m sure you’ll agree, it can be difficult when your child is struggling to learn reading and you don’t know what to do, or where to turn in order to get the best support for them.
Professional support may not be forthcoming, or you are placed on a long waiting list to wait for support.
It can be a frustrating experience, and often many parents will pour hundreds into buying unproven reading programs for a struggling child.
I wanted to share a step-by-step program that I recently came across that helps parents to easily teach their children to read.
In this article I will discuss what I consider to be the best reading program for struggling readers.
“Hi I’m Jessica from Aeon Reviews, here we will look at a Children Learning Reading, a program to help struggling readers.”
I had some doubts initially, and thought perhaps this would be just another reading program making incredible claims about results, without no evidence to actually back up these claims.
However, when I saw that the programs claims of being able to teach even 2 and 3 years old effectively were being backed up by video proofs, I immediately realised that this was going to be different to the majority of reading programs out there.

‘Children learning Reading’ is a reading program which authors Jim and Elena used to teach their own children to read before turning 3 years old.
The authors have various clips of their young 2 year 11 months old daughter reading quite fluently.
I was quite surprised to see how capable their daughter was at reading by the time she was just over 3 years old.
I did not expect to see them reading children’s stories so well!
Check this out in the video below:
Who Is the Program Designed For?
The Children Learning Reading program is designed for parents with young children between the ages of 2 to 6 years old.
It can be used for parents who want their children to learn to read earlier. Or for children who are already learning to read, and may be showing signs of being a struggling reader.
If your child has learned to speak, then you can use this program to teach your child to read.
The central aim of the Children Learning Reading program is to help your child learn to decode printed text quickly and learn to read fluently through the critical process of developing phonemic awareness.
Phonemic awareness is arguably one of the most important aspects of learning to read, and becoming a fluent reader. Children who lack phonemic awareness typically have reading difficulties, and end up being poor readers.
Jim & Elena’s Children Learning Reading program is an extremely simple, straight forward, and step-by-step program.
Their program includes simple exercises and practices starting with the very first lessons that work to help your child develop phonemic awareness, and learn to read.
Clinical studies, and even the National Reading Panel has stated that helping children develop phonemic awareness is one of the most effective ways to teach children to read [1].
Children Learning Reading – The Best Reading Program For Struggling Readers?
How Does It Work?
The program is designed to be taught to your child in two stages, and each stage comes with it’s own instruction book and step-by-step lessons.
Stage 1 – This helps your child develop all the important foundational skills of learning to read and read fluently.
There are 28 lessons in stage one that are smoothly laid out to teach your child starting with the building blocks of reading printed text.
The alphabet letters and sounds are introduced to your child in a stepped, sensible, and intuitive order through these 28 lessons.
Very simple words and blending exercises are introduced very early on, and more complicated words, sentences, stories, and rhymes are slowly introduced with the lessons as your child progresses.
By the time you complete the stage one lessons with your child, your child will likely have already developed superb reading skills that will leave you amazed!
Stage 2 – Deals with the slightly more advanced lessons, helping to greatly advance your child’s already impressive reading skills developed from stage 1.
Stage 2 lessons involve teaching some more complicated matters when dealing with reading.
There are 22 lessons in stage two. One of the main focus of this stage is teaching your child letter combinations or also known as digraphs.
The words, sentences, lesson stories, and rhymes here are more advanced, and work to greatly increase your child’s reading skills and reading fluency.
Testimonies
I discovered quickly that this program has an ever growing list of people who have experienced positive results from applying the techniques taught…almost 40 thousand in fact! Here is just a small sample of some people who have applied the techniques successfully…
“Now at 2 years and 4 months he can read an entire book by himself! He is reading at a 2nd grade level! At our church school his teacher was amazed!”
– Diane C Irvine, CA.
“My son was picked up for reading support services in first grade. We completed your program and his reading teacher said that his reading abilities exploded and he is on grade level!“
– Christine M.
“My daughter is in grade 2, and it was brought to my attention by her teacher that her reading level was below grade level. After 2 months, my child is now reading at grade level, and she has started beginner novels and read on her own!“
– M.G. Surrey, BC.
“We are so grateful and thankful that you came up with this kind of reading program. I avoided having my daughter being taught using sight words and whole language approach”
– Lorelie F.
What’s Included?
Children Learning Reading comes as a digital download and currently comes in two packages, standard and premium. Here’s what you can expect in each package.
Standard – Stages 1 & 2 of the program and also 7 great bonuses, including audio clips, lifetime upgrades and one to one consultations.
Premium – Includes everything in the standard package as well as 5 premium package bonuses which includes such things as lesson videos and workshops.
Amazingly, this set of videos is worth the price of the entire package itself!
The series of videos document a 12 week learning to read period which the authors went through with their second child, Ethan.
It clearly demonstrates EXACTLY how to go about teaching the lessons that makes it not only possible, but so simple and effective to be able to teach even a 2 year old toddler to read.
Price?
At time of writing the standard package is available for less than $50 and the premium less that $70.
I feel this is great value for such a package, as some similar programs run into the hundreds of dollars range, but include less resources and support.

Advantages
The one thing that really struck a chord with me about this program is that it doesn’t force your child to explicitly memorize any phonics rules!
By using traditional learning methods (such as the sight words method) you need a vocabulary of 3k words to be able to read around 95% of all common texts.
With the Children Learning Reading approach you just need your child to learn 44 sounds of English and then how to connect them.
Being parents, I’m sure you can imagine how difficult it would be to have toddlers and young children memorize rules to reading!
The wonderful thing about Jim & Elena’s Children Learning Reading program is that throughout the entire program, your child learns to read, and develops phenomenal reading and decoding skills without memorizing any phonics rules.
This is why their program is so effective at teaching children to read.
Check out the video below which shows the progression of a child over just 18 months…
Another huge plus of this program is that the step-by-step lessons are designed to be quick and effective.
Each lesson typically takes no longer than 5 to 10 minutes to complete, and some lessons take just 2 or 3 minutes to complete.
As you can imagine, with the short attention span of small children, short lessons like these will be much more effective and productive than long, drawn-out lessons.
To teach your child to read, all that you need to do is follow the lessons step-by-step, and spend 5 to 10 minutes each day consistently teaching your child to read.
In just 12 short weeks, you will be extremely pleased that you have taken then time and effort to give your child the most important skill in life – reading.
Feel you as a parent need a little extra support? Both packages come with 12 weeks of one to one consultations.
And if that wasn’t enough, Jim & Elena are so confident in their program that they offer a 100% no questions asked money back guarantee.
Disadvantages
One important thing to keep in mind is that this program is not designed for extremely young children, or children who have not learned to speak yet. However, the authors have seen results from this program in children as young as 2.
Also this is only available as a digital download. There are no physical books or DVDs.
Conclusion
Children Learning Reading has a great track record of helping children learn to read, using an evidence based method.
This program demonstrates that if your child is struggling, then it may just be down to the style in which they are taught. Children Learning Reading helps you easily tailor the learning style to one which helps your child develop quicker.
In fact you may see results from using this program from as little as 10 to 15 mins a day.
I was amazed at how much you actually get included with each package. I was also surprised that usually expensive extras such as one to one support were included free also.
If you’re looking for the best reading program for struggling readers then look no further.
