Product Description
What's more fun than a treasure hunt? Few other activities offer such excitement and challenge, or the wonderful sense of accomplishment. Now, imagine a treasure hunt that encourages your kids to start reading. From the author of Games for Reading comes the perfect learning aid for beginning readers and their parents. This book, featuring 50 treasure hunt games, provides weeks of family fun, and enables busy parents to help their kids become better readers. There's a new treasure hunt every day, each consisting of three or four clues. Every perforated page is a written clue that parents tear off, fold, hide, leading to familiar items and places in the home-from the fridge to the bed to the bathtub. As kids sharpen their reading skills, hunts become progressively more difficult. A bonus phonics game on the back of the final clue reinforces what kids learned that day.
Learn-to-Read Treausre Hunts works no matter what method of teaching is being used at school. It succeeds because it combines basal, phonics, and whole language techniques with a powerful motivating strategy-fun! As an added incentive, the book is packaged with two sheets of two-color, die-cut reward stickers that parents can use to commend their child when he or she has successfully completed a hunt. Each clue has been vetted by at least three reading specialists, insuring that the words, pictures, scope, and sequence are all appropriate for emerging readers. Keeping in mind that all kids learn and progress differently, Learn-to-Read-Treasure Hunts enables parents to help their own child learn to read-and, more importantly-love to read.

Fun and super easy!
Review date: 2009-07-16 Rating: 10 out of 10
This book is really fun for my beginning reader (6) and my littler son (3). They love working on a team. I've been surprised at how easily my 6yr old can read them, when usually he doesn't want to try to read at all. These have been lots of fun. Of course you could make your own, but it's awesome having the work all done for you! I can set one of these up in under two minutes, and they're always so excited to find a clue!
I don't use the stickers as rewards. I don't use the last clue that says "Come get your sticker!" We started a game with a stuffed animal and sometimes he goes away and hides, but leaves these clues behind. So the end clue is the stuffed animal.
Excellent idea

My 5-year-old LOVES doing these treasure hunts; we even use them as a reward when he's had a great day at school. He puts the sticker he earns at the end of each hunt on the calendar, which also gives us the opportunity to discuss days of the week and month.
I would recommend a more rudimentary introduction to reading before beginning to use this book; I started teaching my son to read at home right after his fourth birthday, which is when I bought this book. After it arrived, I realized it would be too advanced for a very new beginner and put it away for later.
What a huge hit it has been (and Pirates of the Caribbean and the acccompanying pirate obsession hasn't hurt the interest in treasure hunts, even though he hasn't seen the movie)!
I will absolutely buy this as gifts for other parents/kids.
AWESOME!

My son is 5 and loves these treasure hunts and the match game bonus with each hunt. He would love to do one after the other if I would let him. Every time he finishes one he ask if we can do another one. Don't even think about it -- just get this book! You will not regret it!! It brings so much joy to your child!! and you too!
Summer hit!

I purchased this product for summer vacation for my 6 year old daughter. She just finished Kindergarten and has just begun to read this past year. This product has been an excellent tool to continue her reading practice into summer vacation. She and my 4 year old son eagerly beg for their treasure hunt each day!
