Practical and inspiring, Discover Reading! with its teacher guide, activities and example lessons is designed to teach you how to guide your child on an enjoyable journey of discovery — set his feet in a wide room, let him discover the magic!
Discover Reading! will help you:

We hope you will discover that learning to read can be a delight-filled, fun and engaging process.
So… shall we discover reading together?
“Amy has melded together Charlotte Mason’s philosophical insights and practical how-to, showing the reader a simple yet effective approach to teaching a child to read. I felt so encouraged and confident after reading both the Teacher and the Activity Guides–she took my hand and walked me through the steps necessary for fluency, while also opening my eyes to the delight available for both my child and myself. Such a joy to read, and so simple to put into place!”
“Even though I’ve successfully taught 3 children to read using many of the concepts outlined in Discover Reading, I came away with new ideas, new clarity of purpose, and new affections for my children and their learning process. Amy simplifies complicated concepts and outlines clear and powerful methods through very practical, simple lessons. I wish I’d had this guide at the beginning of my homeschooling career, but I’m thrilled to put it to use now with my next up-and-coming readers.”
Amy Tuttle (known throughout social media as amy in peru) is wife to Micah and mother to six fantastic kids whom she homeschools a la Charlotte Mason using AmblesideOnline (AO). Amy is delighted to be a part of the AO Auxiliary; she also serves as a moderator on the AO forum and hosts the monthly Charlotte Mason Blog Carnival at her blog, Fisher Academy International.
Amy thrills at the discovery of all things beautiful, true and good; which providentially included Charlotte Mason’s principles at the dawning of her journey of self-education. For her, the everyday-ness of being near to her dears is one of the wonders of the world. Nature-studying, painting, reading, thinking…these are her favorite things. Through writing and speaking she teaches mothers (and so vicariously their children) the delight to be discovered in seeing, knowing, reading and writing. She can’t wait to share the delight with you!
