Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons: Revised and Updated Second Edition

Thanks to this book, my son is the at the top of his class when it comes to reading. He blew the teacher away at his reading assessment. She said that once he blew through a late-2nd-grade book, and only slightly struggled through a 3rd grade book she simply stopped the test and assigned him to the advanced reading for 1st grade. I am one proud mommy! But please don't think I am boasting about my kid. He' smart, but he's not a prodigy. I am raving about this book!!! It's absolutely incredible. For those who think it's tedious or too technical, that may be. But even though many lessons, especially the early ones, are super easy, and the steps feel like overkill, it's about HOW the brain processes and builds on information. You are building a foundation for how the brain processes reading, and it happens without you even noticing. I'm not just amazed with what my son can read, but HOW he reads. He knows how to work out a new word and he almost always gets it right. This book hasn't just taught him to read, but how to think about words. It's something I never thought about, and I am so grateful. These are skills that will carry on throughout his educational career and help him not just succeed, but excel. He enjoys reading because he knows how to do it and doesn't rely on words he has memorized. I know I'm not explaining this well. Perhaps someone can comment and help elaborate. TL;DR Your kid will learn to LOVE reading because the mystery is solved. Get this book. Power through it. You won't regret it. I recommend starting as soon as your kid turns 4. UPDATE: I just had a parent teacher conference with my son's First Grade teacher, and she was telling us how well he's doing not just with reading, but sounding out words, putting word parts together, and reading comprehension. I know that she and my son's Kindergarten teacher taught him a lot, but I also KNOW that he got the solid foundation for those skills from this book. I want to jump in and tell every teacher about it! But sadly they never seem to care much. I think they think I'm over-exaggerating and believe that they are the ones that taught my son to read so well. Well my 4 1/2 year old is now going through it and he's already reading at an end-of-Kindergarten level (and we're on lesson 32). I'm also starting with my 3 1/2 year old and she's sounding things out on her own after only 6 lessons. These are three kids with very different personalities and very different learning styles. I strongly believe that this book can work for anyone. I do change up some of the wording a bit to suit each kid's different style, but that comes easily now that I know the book so well. I hope that this review helps others to make the choice to buy and USE this book. :) UPDATE #2: I just want to add one more little tidbit. My middle child is left handed and he is showing a strong tendency to write in mirror writing (backwards lettering and from right to left). This book has been helpful in teaching him to write correctly. When he writes on his own accord I don't correct him as I have no problem with him learning mirror writing as well, but when it comes to "school time" he has to do it the conventional way, which I tell him he needs to learn for Kindergarten. He would probably get this from any reading course, but I like how this book has the child follow the sounds/words with their finger and trace them too before writing. They really do cover everything and I can see how this book would be helpful for any child having difficulty, no matter how unique it may be. :) With the way it is laid out you are able to emphasize what you need to customize lessons if needed. UPDATE #3 As if my review wasn't already too long! But my kids are now in 1st, 2nd and 4th grade and I just have to say that HOW this book teaches your child to read truly sticks with them. They are still all excellent readers for their grade level. Now that my oldest is in 4th (he's the first kid I wrote about at the beginning of this review) the other kids are starting to catch up. He's reading at an end-of-fourth-grade reading level. My favorite aspect of this book is how they treat letters as blending sounds from the very beginning as greatly helped. In school they learn first the sounds, then they learn to blend. By the time they get to blending the kid thinks they have it all figured out and then they have to learn all over again! Blending should always be a part of letter learning. In this book, they are not "letters," they are always "sounds". Such a small differences that is invaluable! To this day whenever my kids are stuck we go back to the sounds and they can figure it out. Even when they start talking about the letters I say, "No, what is the SOUND?" It always helps the word "click". In this way they can sound out almost any word aside from all the lovely rule-breaking words we have in our language!

This book starts painfully slowly, but my advice is "hold on." At first, I couldn't stand the agonizingly plodding pace. And it wasn't just impatient me. My three year old didn't see the point of saying the list of words as slowly. But we gave it a chance anyway, after all the good Amazon reviews and marketing hype on the book itself. By a quarter of the way through, we began to look forward to reading time. One small addition I made to the scripted course was to invite in stuffed animal guest teachers (see suggestion 1 below). It worked like a charm. I love the way the parent's part is scripted. The script turns anyone who can read into a patient, supportive master teacher! I love the way all sorts of short activities make up each lesson - very balanced. Best of all is the way this book's lessons touch all the bases. They connect letter sounds with words with stories with writing and finally, with reading comprehension, the point of the whole exercise. I really appreciate the short stories and the picture from the story with discussion questions. Now that I've talked to some teachers, this balanced, comprehensive approach is a perfect way to start a child reading. It doesn't lack any aspect that they will use later, or emphasize one to the exclusion of the others. I didn't expect the writing, but I am very happy that it's in there. I bought the book for my three year old, but I am putting my 5 year old through it too, because it is so complete and methodical. When I first saw the phonetic alphabet, I thought it was a little strange. But my child has no trouble recognizing the joined "sh" symbol as an "s" and an "h." And the "sh" is a single sound in his mind, as are "s" and "h." The notation caused us no problem at all, and I only mention it because another reviewer found it problematic. We did not. Likewise, I wasn't disturbed by short e not being mentioned sooner. Who cares? The order presented was gradual, and as logical as any other.(Although it led to a lot of stories about ants.) I would also offer a few suggestions: 1. If your child loves his or her stuffed animals (or Power Rangers, etc.), then you can use them to be "guest teachers." When I started with this book, I hadn't yet come up with this diversionary tactic, and sometimes working through a lesson was harder than it needed to be. With a beanie baby teaching, my three year old is far more interested in the lessons. My boy picks which animals will help each night, and then he listens intently to them. They help sound out words, rhyme, and watch him write. They are much more interesting than old Daddy, as they are allowed to have excessive personality! When it is time to find certain words in the story, my son doesn't like to just point to the requested word. He prefers to race the beanie-baby guest teacher to the words. (The beanie baby invariably loses.) When it is time to write letters, the beanie baby counts them in Spanish. And so on. 2. Check out some of the "We Both Read" books to supplement toward the end of this book. The "We Both Read" series has a complicated left page for the adult, and a simple right page for the child. You take turns reading, and continue the "reading together" experience beyond the 100 easy lessons. So after a slow and frustrating start, which in retrospect was absolutely necessary, we both look forward to our daily reading time. We brought in the beanie babies to inject the missing element of fun. I know Matthew will have a solid foundation in all the parts of written communication, and Matthew likes the fact that his favorite stuffed animals are teaching him to read. Five stars. Awaiting "Human Relationships in 100 Easy Lessons."

Short version of review: this method is powerful and it works. That makes it a sorely-needed, crucial tool these days, so I'm surprised this book isn't a lot more famous than it is. It should be: with parents willing to put in the time, this book could help a lot of kids bridge the gap many fall in to, trying to learn to read in the public school system. This is a better way in some regards as kids clearly benefit from the sustained adult interaction this book's method requires. My suggestion: make it a regular daily event, lasting just for the attention span of your child, and the results will amaze you. At first I was put off by the "100 Easy Lessons" title - why not Ten Easy Lessons? Or maybe even "Five Medium-Hard Lessons" if they get the job done? But no, even in our short-cut era you'll want to accept no substitutes: this book, written in the 1980's by a team of professional educators and by now refined and revised to a smooth, glossy polish, is based on the university-researched and tested "Distar" reading program (whatever that means - read about it in the book) which in practical terms gives you a complete professional training resource to teach your kid to read. As far as I can tell, the "Distar" system starts the kids out with a complete letter-based sound and phonics system so they can learn to 'decode' even new words from their constituent letters. I have been astonished again and again at my daughter's skill in sounding out and decoding words she's never seen before (she just turned five and is about to enter kindergarten), surprising herself and her happy dad when she realizes she's done it and exclaims the new word in gleeful triumph! Here is the big pitfall the book avoids: *you won't confuse your child.* Reading is a very complex skill to learn or teach, and parents tend to rush things, bumping their kids off a conceptual cliff, though with good intentions. Here all parental instructions printed in red type and the book literally tells you what to say. Thoroughly preparing the parent, the book's concise but crucial introduction has excellent practical instructions to the parent and, most importantly, tables that show you exactly how make all the phonics sounds correctly. Also included are tables showing how to teach your kid how to actually write letters (writing exercises are in each lesson), helping them learn to form letters easily and correctly (this is important too - kids are very creative at forming letters in bizarre ways and pick up bad habits quickly). So the bottom line here is that you don't have to take the time to become an effective teacher yourself (a huge task) - the book does it for you, laying out a fail-safe, carefully planned and graded path of instruction, introducing new sounds, words, and difficulties with obvious thought and care. This means your child accelerates smoothly, and you won't push her/him off that cliff by suddenly tossing in something that completely baffles the child. This is a big problem even with very smart kids - they rarely convey their puzzlement if they really don't understand something, while most likely you will keep going, not noticing the child has stopped, disconnected from the continuity of what they're learning. Putting reading skills together the first time means the whole task has to form a steadily-accumulating, coherent whole in their minds. When that process is working, kids learn very quickly and make big leaps on their own. Typology in this book is phonetically helpful also, as the little 'stories' presented are printed in a slightly modified alphabet which adds some basic pronunciation marks to help kids over 'silent' letters, complex sounds (th, ch, sh) and other little pitfalls. Also, short oddly-pronounced words (to, for, was) are carefully introduced as special cases. In doing this, the texts of the book's quirky and slightly amusing little stories can move quickly towards advanced reading skills, through their dozens of carefully-graded steps. The obvious problem with the phonics-based approach is that phonics are really a crutch: pretty soon you want your kid to stop sounding out words letter-by-letter and gain the ability to read whole words and groups of words at a time. The book has copious instructions for doing this, teaching kids to see and read the 'fast' way by the halfway mark, but I feel that extra repetition of lessons or sections of them is useful in getting the kid to literally 'switch gears' as they start to recognize groups of words at high speed. Again, if you approach it systematically, this will work well. I can't imagine a better or more thorough tool for accomplishing what this book promises to do. In the course of about six weeks this summer my daughter has easily mastered its first half and her pace accelerates every day. I'm a grateful dad - this is just what I was looking for. An easy call: five stars! (PS - an excellent preliminary resource in immersing your child in the basic phonetic sounds is the set of five Leap Frog DVD's, particularly the Talking Letter Factory, Talking Word Factory, and so on (one does math, but it's good too). These are nicely animated with music, and kids tend to get them completely absorbed into their brains in a big hurry, making the opening stages of this book's learn-to-read project much, much quicker and easier, with letters immediately understood as phonetic 'sounds' and not the names of the letters - a distinction I had to clarify for myself).

This book, Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, has been absolutely amazing. It’s super easy to read, well-structured, and very easy to teach, even if you don’t have any teaching experience. The lessons are clear, short, and laid out in a way that makes it simple to follow step by step. My child stayed engaged, and I could see real progress quickly. The instructions tell you exactly what to say and do, which takes all the guesswork out of teaching reading at home. It truly builds confidence for both the parent and the child. The price was very reasonable for the value you get, especially compared to tutoring or other programs. This is a practical, effective tool that delivers real results. If you’re looking for an easy-to-follow, affordable, and proven reading program, this book is a fantastic choice. I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to other parents.

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons by Siegfried Engelmann. And if you read the reviews, it’s a love-it-or-hate-it book….we love it! Our two oldest kids have completed it so far. We started each of them the day after their fifth birthdays, and it took about 6 months to complete. It should be titled Teach Your Child to Read in About 150 Llloooonnngggg, Repetitive Lessons. The first 75ish lessons are written in a unique orthography, which eventually changes to a regular script for the last 25 lessons. The introduction is worth reading (for the parent); after that, each lesson is scripted and easy to open-and-go with no prep. The first few lessons are quick–about 10 minutes. The middle lessons get longer and longer until we start splitting them into 2 or even 3 days (otherwise, they would take over an hour to finish). Then the last 20 or so get shorter (about half an hour). There’s also a writing section included in each lesson, but we use this book only for reading instruction, and have never used the writing. I love that there is no prep for me, and there are no booklets or charts or anything to get lost–it’s all contained in one big book. I also love that the girls have both been able to actually read stories within the first few lessons instead of spending months learning charts of sounds and blends. It is a stand-alone resource, but I would recommend following it with something to fill in some of the phonetic gaps, and for more practice. At the end of the book, there’s a section of suggestions for the parent. So what do we do after 100 EZ Lessons? Kid Uno immediately started reading aloud a couple little phonics books and picture books. Then she went through the McGuffey Primer and First Reader. And then she discovered the Little House books and became a voracious reader :) I also went through The Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading (helpful but horribly boring) between McGuffey’s First and Second Reader. I plan to have her continue reading aloud through the McGuffey series, and other books. Kid Dos just finished 100 EZ Lessons so she is starting with some Dr. Suess, picture books, and easy readers. My plan is the same for her, but I’m looking for a replacement for the OPGTR. [We found Phonics Pathways, and it has been a good fit for Kid Dos] My rating for Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons : Buy it, use it, keep it. Unless you hate it…then maybe you’d prefer something else :) http://charlottemasonmodern.com/2014/06/23/book-review-teach-your-child-to-read-in-100-easy-lessons/

I can count on one hand the number of reviews I've left, but I wanted to write this one for those who are on the fence. I started this program for my 3.5 year old, really only because he kept asking. I'm all about the play-based approach generally and had no desire for him to be reading, or to teach it to him and mess something up. My son's not in an academic preschool. He didn't know any but a few letters. He's bright and motivated, especially when things interest him (hello, knowing 100 dinosaurs by name), and he has some pre-reading skills (loving being read to, being able to rhyme and identify words that start with the same sound) but he can't sit still for two seconds, and I was dreading this whole thing. At lesson 40, I'm pretty amazed. This book has been wildly successful for him so far, but we've adapted a lot. He has always begged for reading lessons before we actually start one, but initially, would quickly grow frustrated or have real problems concentrating once they began. So after the first few lessons (which are shorter/easier and were novel), we started breaking them up into 2-3 chunks throughout the day and "gameifying" them. I also bought a bag of 100 mini dinosaurs from Amazon, and unashamedly give him a new toy after every lesson. So yep. Bribery. Also, "blending" sounds was our developmental roadblock. I almost abandoned the book around lesson 25 or so, when he still didn't have it. He was doing the rhyming exercises without a problem, and also learning all the individual phonics easily, but had real issues blending the sounds together. I've heard that blending tends to be the skill that makes or breaks the book and some kids just won't get it till later. For my son, it clicked around lesson 30 (though I had to scaffold- often covering up the first letter of a CVC word, so that he just had to do one blend instead of two, and then connecting it with the rhyming exercises he was so good at, by saying "'It', very good. Now rhyme 'it' with 'ssss'.") He still sometimes covers part of a word with his fingers when the whole thing is overwhelming, and does it piecemeal. But he's totally sounding everything out and it's an awesome thing to see. He can even sound out the two-syllable words, like "little". And now that the words are easy for him, the excitement is there, and he's much more able to sit through a whole lesson- sometimes even asks for two. I will say that I don't use the script a lot, and there are things we'll have to pick up in a second go, or from another source. Reading each story twice is too tedious. He doesn't have the motor skills to write, etc. And the focus on comprehension and fluency is something we'll have to keep working at- he sometimes forgets words from the beginning of the sentence because of the pace. But I think it's amazing that he's decoding so well. He hasn't missed a word or even needed help with one in the last three lessons. I do love that this is a phonics system. I didn't learn to read until in school and didn't use phonics- it made the idea of teaching reading opaque to me, since I wasn't sure how I actually learned to read myself. Phonics systematized it in a way that makes so much sense. I do want to mention that there are other books that I suspect are as or more effective, and might be a better fit for your child. Some are more comprehensive and move at a slower pace, many more "fun" (and the welltrainedmind forum is a great place to get the run down). If I were starting over, I might have chosen one of these, because, due to the age of my son and his temperament, I had to basically become a one-woman show to keep things engaging and positive. I also think, for us personally, approaching blending from several perspectives, and maybe in a more gamefied manner, while providing more practice on one-blend words ("if," "on", etc.) would have helped crystallize things for him sooner/less painfully. As it was, I did a lot of supplemental oral blending work- breaking words up orally when in the care, reverse blending etc., and I think it helped, though I'm really not sure what made it all finally click. Once it did? Smooth sailing. And it clicked all at once- from getting every word wrong, to rarely stumbling. Kind of awesome to see. Some final notes about moving beyond the book: it's apparently very common for kids to drop off around lesson 50, when the length and difficulty of the stories goes up significantly. My suspicion is we'll be ok here, because he really can sound out just about anything in each lesson, and now that he's succeeding, has a lot more patience to try (plus, we're fine with breaking it up if not). But we'll see. The second major drop off comes after Lessons 70-80 where the names of all letters, and the capital letter forms are introduced over about three lessons, and where the special orthography that helps with pronunciation disappears. I think this might pose a bigger problem for us, since he doesn't know capital letters or letter names already- and learning all that quickly will be a stretch, and the specialized script really does help. The specialized script, for me, is a bit of a love-hate thing. It's definitely a useful tool, but it makes using any easy readers or complementary systems really hard. Reading a "real book" is so much more motivating for him now, but many of the readers I've seen (Bob, or I am Sam books) aren't a great match, since they introduce letters at different times, have a different orthography (e.g., no hat on the a), and don't use phonics-based script. There's just a lot of new information- and he struggles at even the simplest readers. It'd be great if there were accompanying readers you could use in tandem with this book- because there's a difference between reading a few sentences, and reading a "real book"- a big one. I know there are a lot of caveats in this review, but my kid is reading a full two years before kindergarten, due to ten minutes of practice every few days over a single summer. And he's excited about reading more each day. Really hard to give less than five stars there. Update one year later: So my suspicions were right here. Once you get past Lesson 70 or so, the pace is brutal for a kid that doesn't know his alphabet already. The book is still throwing new phonic sounds at you, but also expects the kids to learn lowercase and capital letters as well as the names of all letters, AND drop the special orthography- all very suddenly. It was too much, the last one especially, and we put reading away. He sort of lost his motivation, and I had no urge to work on this before he was ready, so I dropped it. I did kind of expect that the skills he'd picked up would help him transition to reading regular books on his own through the year. That didn't happen. He forgot a lot of what the book covered, and really just remained content with me reading to him. We returned to it this summer, with him age 4.5 knowing about 80% of the letter names, capitals and lower case included, and it was a whole different thing. He now has the motor skills to write, his ability to comprehend and retain what he reads is excellent, and he loves the lessons and flies through them in 5 minutes. His attention span is still that of a four year old, but no more one woman show required for him to sit through one- just some mile redirection. Most key, instead of being an insurmountable challenge,dropping the specialized orthography was a small hurdle, easily cleared. He's done with the book now, and taken off with reading in a way I suspect will stick with him. I'm sure doing it last year helped with foundation skills. And I wonder if we could've made it through a year earlier if he'd known his alphabet better. But I'm pretty happy with how things went. I do suspect, just because of how easy it was at age 4.5, that 3.5 was a little early for us. Maybe I could've made it through, but better to just wait till there's interest, it's fun and painless. That's what it was this summer.

If you are looking for a way to introduce your kiddo to reading then this is the right book for you. There is a complete lesson plan in the book that allows you to teach your child how to read. I haven't seen anything else like it. It is amazing. It makes everything intuitive. Your kid doesn't learn the alphabet, they learn sounds. They don't learn how to memorize words, they learn how to put the sounds together to make words, and how to sound out those words. For instance they might learn the sounds for "m", short a, and "d". Then later they will learn how to read "mad". There are all these skills that they are taught as well: how to rhyme, how to write letters, how to say words slowly, how to figure out what word the teacher is saying when they say a word really slowly, etc. I love it! A couple of things to know: 1) You need to sit down with the book for 2-3 hours to read the introduction and to familiarize yourself with how the lesson plans look. The book even recommends that you practice giving lessons to your child when they are not even there. This is a must. You are the teacher, so you need to come to class prepared. You can't just sit down with your child and start right away. I am a teacher so this step didn't take me as long to do as my husband. He needed the 2-3 hours of reading the introduction and then he really had to watch me give the lessons to my son before he realized what to do. 2) Your child may need to go faster or slower than the pace the book provides. We typically take 2-4 fifteen minute sessions to complete 1 lesson. I want my child to be able to do everything perfectly without any trouble before we move onto the next lesson because they just keep getting harder. He essentially puts in no effort into doing the lesson each night. This is good for him because he is not good with failure. Your child might want to be challenged and so then you might move faster. 3) You have to be really careful to make sure that your child enjoys the lessons each night. If you try to push them too hard they might rebel completely and have a bad experience. You want to make sure that they think of reading as fun or as a game. This book is a series of lessons. It is not tailored to your child's interests. My kid would love it if the lessons were working up to reading something about trucks or cars, but that is not the case, so you have to devise ways to make it more fun. --Have stuffed animals give the lesson. --Have your child write the letters on a blackboard and then make a sea of spaghetti over the letters, then you have to find the letters. --Do the rhyming words with poop and pee or trash can or whatever word your kid thinks is hilarious. --Tell them that the lesson is hard and that you don't think they will be able to do it, then when they do it, act really surprised. --Have them do the lessons they have already done with visitors that come over to show off their skills. --Use bribery. --Do the lesson everyday but make the lesson shorter on days where your kid is losing focus. --If they start to get frustrated then stop immediately. It is supposed to be fun. You can try again the next day. 4) This book is a big commitment, but it is definitely teaching my 4 year old how to read.!

The book starts out excellent. The child learns to read and the lessons are easy. The book starts, though, by writing extra symbols on letters to specify the sound. At less 73, the book transitions from this method to regular symbols with times new Roman font. This is extremely difficult for the child. Rather than incorporating phonics and teaching the child to figure out why letters make different sounds in different words (e.g., a vowel followed by a letter followed by an e makes the long vowel sound), the book relies on having the child remember what different words sound like. That is, this book has many more words act as sight words — words that a child must remember by sight — than is necessary. At about lesson 78, I gave up on the instructions of the book and taught my daughter phonics instead. That went a lot better for her.

I bought this book 6 months ago to start teaching our then 3.5 yr old daughter. We felt she was ready to at least start learning phonics (she started talking at 18 months old) as she was showing an increased interest in 'reading' and 'writing' (although she's certainly not a 'gifted child'!). I have to say I didn't really believe that the book would "do what it said on the tin", but I am delighted to say it can! We are now on Lesson 70 (of 100), and I am amazed at what our daughter can now read at just 4 years old! The book recommends that you do a lesson each day. We don't always do that, as some days we don't have time, but I would certainly advise not leaving more than 1 or 2 days between 'lesson days' and definitely make time in the morning rather than the afternoon. However, you must read exactly what is on the page, as I've tried 'adapting' it to what I thought fitted my child best and I ended up going back a few lessons and reading it verbatim. The only extras I do put in are a lot more praise. The book is recommended for "bright 3.5-yr-olds, and average 4 and 5 yr olds". I wouldn't suggest any earlier, as your child will need to write each letter they learn, and so they need to have developed their fine motor skills sufficiently. However, even if you only manage 20 or so lessons before your child starts school, it will help them no end, as it is exactly the system used in schools. Finally, I was once told by someone trained in education that there are always 'natural readers' who are able to be told how a word sounds and remember it. That's all well and good until they try to read a word they haven't seen before! This book teaches how to read words properly by learning 'phonics' and blending them in a way in which we speak ourselves. Therefore, your child will eventually be able to pick up a book and read it, and attempt a word that they have not seen before themselves! Imagine their absolute joy when they achieve that on their own... I cannot recommend this book any higher...it's extremely good.

Book looks boring but my kids enjoyed the stories and it builds in such a way they never got frustrated. Used the book to teach 2 of my kids and now started with my three year old.

I am teaching my 4 year old daughter to read with this book. We are up to lesson 60. In two months she went from reading single letters to reading paragraphs. This book is extraordinary, and easily delivers on its promise. I don't know how I would have approached this huge task otherwise. Many heartfelt thanks to these authors. Best $20 a parent will ever spend.

We have personally become big fans of Siegfried Engelmann because of this book. Based on Direct Instruction system: meaning teaching in very small incremental steps. If you are not able to teach your child how to read through this book, then there can be 99.9% two reasons only... 1. Your child is too young, so you need to try after a couple of months, OR 2. You are not following the book instructions properly, so read again the instruction part and focus on what are you missing out.

A veces los niños que entienden inglés pero su lengua principal es otro idioma, tienen problemas para leer en el cole porque cuando leen utilizan los fonemas de su lengua principal, estos no encajan con lo que tienen aprendido del inglés en la cabeza. Ha sido una gran ayuda, paso por paso, y ahora lee y entiende sin problemas.
