The Complete Happy Cheetah Reading System

Everything you need to teach your child to read in 20 minutes a day! Fast. Effective. Easy. Fun. Your children will learn to read—guaranteed! Whether your child is brand new to reading or has persevered for several years already, your child can achieve reading success.  With stories as the foundation of Happy Cheetah Reading, your student learns the individual details of reading, such as proper spelling and grammatical cues like quotation marks, in the context of the story. Each smaller element is already included in the big picture. Nothing is out of order; everything is linked. These links rapidly build knowledge, without confusion. Like looking at the box before assembling a puzzle—there's a framework in place.  Happy Cheetah combines the big picture with the smaller details in order to teach reading ... simply, easily, and quickly.   What Is Included With The Complete System?

As you transition from the Get Ready Workbook to the Cub Starting Workbook, beginning readers will learn more about writing. Students read thirty simple stories with this workbook. This builds confidence, as they enjoy immediate success. In this level, your student will: Learn to write all capital and lowercase letters quickly and easily. Copy short sentences, like: “My fish is orange.” Identify which sounds go with which letters. Accurately write short words, such as “lag,” “mug,” and “fed.” Properly write his or her name, starting with a capital and using lowercase letters. Read dozens of non-phonetic words, such as water, towel, polka-dot, look, boat, yellow, shells, and find. Identify vowels and vowel chunks (two vowels together, as in raccoon), the start of spelling instruction. Work with basic grammar and punctuation. Practice the intuitive reading methods that all successful readers use. Sound out and write high-frequency words easily and quickly, using lowercase letters. Level 2:  With Level 2, students build on what they already know. It is an excellent level to continue to grow reading confidence and fluency. In this level, your student will: Grow vocabulary. Learn to read a wide range of challenging words, such as pizza, elephant, bubbles, sweet, and books. Continue to work on identifying vowels and vowel chunks, moving towards proper spelling. Continue working with basic grammar and punctuation. Continue to practice the intuitive reading methods that all successful readers use. Sound out and write additional high-frequency words easily and quickly, using lowercase letters. Level 3: With Level 3, students rapidly expand on what they already know. As students read longer passages, they continue to grow reading confidence and fluency. In this level, your student will: Gain additional new vocabulary. Learn to read a wide range of challenging words, such as camouflage, museums, weigh, lantern, social, and tongue. Continue to work on identifying vowels and vowel chunks, developing the visual memory necessary for proper spelling. Continue working with basic grammar and punctuation.

Level 4:  With Level 4, the rate of improvement skyrockets. As students read ever longer passages—with several short paragraphs per page—they continue to grow reading confidence and fluency. About two-thirds of the way through the year, your student will transition to reading beginning chapter books, so that, by the end of this year, your student will be ready to step out more confidently into the larger world of reading. In this level, your student will: Gain a lot of additional new vocabulary. Read both nonfiction and fiction.  Focus on vowel chunks, Bossy-R in words, and suffixes, in order to develop the visual memory necessary for proper spelling.
