                    The Easy Readers is a reading program based on the Hargis Words List that uses the most frequently used words in children's literature up to the ninth grade. These words have been graded into five level of difficulty and the levels can be used as a pretest to determine at what level to start the program. The Easy Readers Program was especially designed to teach the most common words children will experience in literature up to the ninth grade. This reading program can be used to teach reading fluency, as a supplement to phonetic programs, and when the teaching of phonics fails. Copies can be printed from the CD-R and the names changed to match that of your children. Useful for beginning readers, nonreaders, children with learning disabilities, and with developmental delays.
