Wow, congratulations and I hope you have much success with teaching you're princess to read. But, Keep in mind you shouldn't "
make" your young child read. I'm pretty sure you know that, but there is subtle difference between the words and the entire philosophy is based on the idea gentle, joyful learning. If your child isn't enjoying what you're doing. STOP! and find a different way.
Brillkids offers a 2 week trial of Little Reader that you might want to investigate.
Try out the first several pages of
The Reading Lesson for a book based approach. The chapters
1 and
2 are
free.
Funnix right now is available 100% FREE (Normally costs $250, you should get the program and try it out, even if you need to save it for a later date, I think its worth getting since it is based on the highly popular
100EZ lessons.)
(TRL is a based on 100EZ also, but is more simplified without extensive orthography, scripts and such things.)
It might not be impressive to YOU, but TRL worked well for a 4yr old boy I began teaching to read last year. We took a long break from TRL (because I couldn't keep regular lessons at all) and have started using it again and he's doing really well with it. We're also going to start using Funnix on the accelerated schedule to add variety to his reading program.
See if you can't get a hold of YBCR used or cheap and see if she likes it, but she's at the stage where she could probably learn using phonics so check into Leap Frog and Sidney Ledson's book
Teach Your Child to Read in 10 Minutes a Day as it uses a game to teach reading.
There is also StarFall.com and ProgressivePhonics.com to be used for free, starfall is online and Progressive Phonics can be printed and read together and if you want to use more DVD's there is the
PreSchool Prep "Meet the Sight Words" series and Monki See, Monki Do.
Also, Youtube has loads of phonics videos and songs and such. Search around and take your pick....
