Reviews
Super slow intro to sight reading for my (then) PA Level 1 age 8 son who was 8 months into his first year of piano. Even though he is Level 1, we chose the Primer level for sight reading so that it isn't too difficult for him and he doesn't resist going to the keyboard and just getting the work done. We do two pieces a day, each one in a different lesson. We color in the little daily progress sheet as we go along -- works super well.We used for three months, now almost done, it now seems almost too simple to use as sight reading because he's now in lessons as a Level 2A. His piano teacher complemented him the other day, says that he's doing really well at sight reading and knowing his notes. We'll be onto the Level 1 Sight Reader in a week or so (we always do the sight reading books a level behind the Lesson books so that it's easy enough that he will do the sight reading every single day without arguing). I'll probably supplement with the "Perfect Start for Note Reading" (Olson) which is also a great slow beginning sight reading book.
