I would appreciate links to similarly helpful tools for early childhood education for any subject (or language).
"Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" has been recommended ancedata-ly to me.

It uses the DISTAR method which seems to have the most empirical evidence supporting it. (The controversy over DISTAR appears to me to be that it's boring for the teacher)
Neither of them actually finished all 100 lessons. At some point, they both preferred moving on to actual books rather than doing the remaining lessons. So a little boring for the student as well, apparently.
