When you've helped your child master these lessons, he'll be reading at above elementary school level.
Home is the best place for a child to learn to read, and parents are in the best position to help.
There are many reasons why this is so, as this book makes abundantly clear in the Guide Book For Parents And Other Mentors section. Ideally, before he enters first grade. Children who learn to read before they enter school learn to read better, and enjoy reading more, than children who first encounter reading in school. But even if your child is already in school, it's not too late for you to get involved and help him become a better reader, and to enjoy reading more. Briefly, it's because when you become directly involved in helping your child learn to read you will insure that he becomes an avid and proficient reader, you will establish a close emotional bond that will last a lifetime, and you and your child will have a lot of fun.
