We had incredible success with it in both my kids, and I've heard the same from countless others. IIRC, it's the book my father used to teach my younger sister 20+ years ago, too.
I just got Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy lessons by Sigfried Englemann, and I really like it. https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29V5FOUV5M5A5&keywords=100+easy+lessons+to+teach+your+child+to+read&qid=1574571485&sprefix=100+easy+le%2Caps%2C240&sr=8-1

Every kid is different - my oldest learned the alphabet at 2, and just quized her on 3 letter words at mealtimes every now and then. I'd write them out in front of her, and then cut them up and see if she could remember which word was which. She'd notice letters on signs, then words. If I wrote things on a page for her, she'd want to carefully trace it. She started writing letters to people before she knew how to read - so she had "love" and "you" memorized early on. Then I got Usborne first reading set, and she just took off.
My son, however, is 4, and doesn't know the alphabet (but if they're not learning something in preschool - it's because they're brains are learning something else!) The book Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy lessons is PERFECT for him. No memorizing the alphabet necessary, just learning how to read and write "sounds" to start with. And it changes some of the confusing letter shapes and letter combination shapes to help distinguish different letters from each other that are commonly mixed up. I know this is how he's going to learn to read, and he enjoys it.
Look up D'naelian for handwriting - that's what I grew up using, and will use for my kids - but I couldn't find it until I knew what it was called!
I'm using Math-U-See, which comes with counting blocks that I think will be way more useful for my second kid than my oldest. They all learn so differently, the wonderful thing about homeschooling is getting to adjust it to suit the kids learning style and your teaching style. I'm interested in finding out more about classical education math, but haven't found much out.
Get this book. It works wonders.

If he's this far behind I'd look in to earlier grade level strategies. Look into Pre-k and K (not sure how South African schools work. In the states 1st grade is 6/7 year olds).
The program my school used, when I was growing up, was Phonics. Something like this might work. I teach high school so I can't tell you really how well any of these work.
In a general sense, one thing I would try to do is stop stressing. You have to relax while trying to help him, and try to make it fun. Make it seem like you enjoy it, and enjoy your time with him. Do not act like you are stressed, or upset that he can't read. Even if you get frustrated never let him see that. It will only make things worse. Try to take the pressure out all of it.
Another thing is to read books on his level. You need to find a real score of his reading ability, and to get materials at that level. It doesn't matter if he's in the 1st grade if he's reading at a non-1st grade level. I teach high schoolers with 5 grade reading levels some times, and somtimes college level. I have to get them to read things on their level or they wont improve.

Hi! Over the years I've found a few good activities to assist my daughter with HUGE memory problems (amongst other things) with reading.
I think the thing she loved most was Starfall. It's a website that has different rhymes and stories for different reading rules, a lot of people recommend it.
I used the book, How to teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons. Which was helpful to a point, but then progress stalled with increasing word size.
On the review pages of Amazon it was suggested that the Bob books were a better way to go, as the child can read a whole book by themselves, fast - which is pretty motivating!
Good luck, hope you find what works for your step-sister! She's lucky to have such a caring sibling :)
This book is very good.
The key to helping your child to read is to build his phonemic awareness, which is something you can do with him out loud and while moving around. This means to develop his understanding that there are discreet sounds in a language (what we call letters, but are really "phonemes"). Play word games with him when you are riding in the car. For example, "What what word do we get if we replace the /b/ (make the "b" sound) in "bat" with /m/ (make the "mmm" sound)?" And his response would be "mat."
If he's a very physical child, you can have him play games with sounds. Toss a ball back and forth and make up silly stories with words that start with the same sound. Trace letters in the sand at the beach.
If this is along the lines of what you are asking, let me know and I'll send you a lot more stuff.
Easy then. Just tip a toe into the water.
This book is boilerplate amongst my homeschool friends. Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671631985/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.nk8AbX72YP3Y
For a few bucks, you can teach your kid to read by the end of summer. This is the hard stuff. Most of kindergarten is fine motor skills and staying on task.
Hey, I bought you something.
I swear by this. The author is a serious contender. It will be hard and take about 4 months. You may want to talk to his teacher because it would be like starting over from scratch and I don't know the complications. The direct instruction method this is based on has been proven to help struggling students. https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503804000&sr=8-1&keywords=teach+your+child+to+read+in+100
Yep. No English classes yet. I had been worried that they'd speak down to the level of an elementary school English class, but I think they're already beyond that sort of regression. I've been thinking of shipping them off to Canada for a year of elementary in a couple of years.
BTW, for reading we're using this book to great success (about halfway through now.)
idk, while I don't doubt you can find people who will tell you that's not too young, I think it's too young. That said, someone (not me) once recommended this book https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985
FWIW, I'm about to start using this english book with my 4 yr old:
"Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons"
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671631985/
It comes highly recommended. I just wish they had one in Spanish. This will be the first time I am reading to her in english.
It is a book that you read together with your child a little bit each night.
Wow. The problem is not your son. The problem is this woman has no business teaching kinder. (to be fair, neither do I. 25 or more 5 year olds in my charge day after day would make me cry too) lol
Can you get your son into another class and see if he does better there?
If not, and you want to try homeschooling you can give this book a go:
http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985/
and the kinder book for:
http://www.hwtears.com/hwt
I also love Math u see www.mathusee.com but am not sure you need it now (or want to spend the money). Just google math worksheets/games for kinder and print some free stuff out.
Also, www.starfall.com is great and has some free stuff
Socialization is not that hard. He doesn't need to be around 20 or more kids his exact age 5 days per week. Sign him up for scouts or karate or something and find a homeschool support group.
If you are near a metropolitan area then finding a group is not hard. Look at meetup.com and yahoo groups. Also look on Facebook
Some groups are Christian only and require a statement of faith to join but there are also lots of "open" groups. I belong to several open groups and we are in Texas!
Each state has it's own "rules" for homeschooling. Most states don't require school attendance until 1st grade, so it may be less of an issue for you. Check out http://www.hslda.org/laws/ to see what you need to do. HSLDA is Christian but will help with legal defense of all homeschoolers.
I'm beginning to think this is all for nothing. Perhaps one so small minded is simply incapable of grasping such advanced concepts as the ones I have presented you. If so -- I apologize for this mental assault and whatever harm it might have caused.
I am sincerely sorry I made you cry.
On the off chance that you believe you possess the mental rectitude to rise above this morass of idiocy you currently find yourself wallowing in, I have a few reading selections that might help you on your way. First, try this edition. I believe it quite suited to your level. If your mother can find the occasion to have a night free (almost impossible, I know!) she might want to look into this volume for further insight into your disability.
Should you somehow manage to complete both those weighty tomes -- and I hope you do! -- you may want to re-visit the comment of mine which sparked this sordid little chain of raw stupidity and reflect on how you have mangled both the spirit of reading comprehension and the very notion of sentient thought.
I'm a dad who found out his daughter was dyslexic when she was 10. She's 14 now. It actually made me turn a corner when I was reevaluating my career at the around the same time and now I'm in grad school to become a school psychologist. I've done a lot of reading about it and I want you to understand that your concerns are valid but you do not need to fear for your sons future.
There are some very important facts you need to be aware of:
Anecdotally my 3rd grader was struggling with reading and we would have her read 20 minutes a day min. The first few months about half that time was spent crying, it wasn't pretty.
Around 5th grade she found the key, something in her brain clicked (because of all the work she had been doing and continued to do in reading classes, with reading specialists and at home) and by the end of the year she was reading voraciously and well, I'm pretty sure she knocked out Harry Potter in under 6 months. She still sucks at spelling, but her comprehension is unaffected, her vocab is huge and she has excellent writing skills (with spellcheck\grammar check).
Also, please check out [Teach your child to read] (http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985) It's excellent and he will probably do incredibly well with it.
My daughter is an A/B student with her own unique skills and challenges just like anyone else. Take advantage of the help the schools will provide and do work with your kiddo at home. It will only be as much of a limitation as you make it.
I will forever recommend this gem: Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons
I got this book to get my kid reading. He is 5. He was not very good with the sight word method. He thought all words that started with the same letter were the same and if he got it wrong would keep guessing other words rather than sounding it out. We modified the lessons a bit to go quicker. It does require an adult to use. It uses the phonics method. You might can fly through some of the early lessons if the kid knows some of the sounds already. This book is for kids that do not have a reading disability. It is for those that struggle with other teaching methods. You don't even have to get through all 100 lessons. Some stop at 50ish but I kept going with my son until 70ish. It works for most kids.
I would love to have this book to start teaching my daughter (3) to read. It was recommended by a co-worker with a child the same age.
Thank you for the contest!
Reading is awesome!
Basically you'll have to become one of those kyoiku parents everyone hates; simple osmosis from Thomas the Tank Engine reruns is not sufficient. Head over to r/homeschool and do some research, they have experience with the nuts and bolts of formally teaching their own kids English (which is what you'll be doing). Your kid is still a bit young but when he's bigger you might give this book a try. I'm going through it with my five year old now and we spend about 10-15 minutes a day doing the lessons. It can be a bit of a slog at times but teaches reading, pronunciation (reading a lot of words slowly to make sure the sounds are correct) and writing. Teaching one's own child is insanely fun and rewarding... If you outsource by throwing your kid into a school you'll never experience that kind of bonding.
I used Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons for all three of my daughters. It's a great book for young ones as the lessons are short and it uses a phonetic system which is similar to Montessori. Good luck!
My son just turned two and can reliably recognize all the letters (upper and lower), knows their sounds, and can count and recognize numbers up to 12. We got there by reading to him every day, letting him watch Leap Frog Letter Factory, playing on the Starfall website (usually 2 letters a night), and interacting with him throughout the day (alphabet puzzles, number games, etc).
I can tell he's ready for more, but I feel like it's too soon to try to teach him to read. We've decided to stop trying to progress and just reinforce his letter and number recognition. I've been putting together a bunch of games and activities for letters and their sounds, numbers, shapes (including the more advanced ones), patterns, and sorting/categorizing.
If you still want to begin teaching your son to read, you could look at Progressive Phonics and Starfall (both free online programs), or
Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons (book).
Not related really, but when he is ready to learn to read, I highly recommend this one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671631985/
Maybe all the text in Skyrim gets him in the mindset to learn ;)

I literally did a few posts up. Here's a recommendation for you
I have used the following book to teach three of my own kids to read. The lessons are brief (around 20 minutes) and include all the needed instructions for the teacher. One of my kids did well with it at 4.5 years old, another was not really ready until 6, but they all became good readers).

I can't help you with reading comprehension; the educational system in this country is broken. Consider picking up some material. Anyway, let's move back to what you're wrong about: 87 Percent of Americans Unaware There's Scientific Consensus on Climate Change
Feel free to cite your own sources stating there's no settled science when it comes to climate change, and I'll explain to you why you're wrong as patiently as possible ;)
Let me make a suggestion. Teach your children that learning doesn't have to be confined to a classroom, or to a certain place. One thing my father taught me when I was young was to enjoy reading, and to enjoy learning.
Also, if you can, teach your child to read. My dad taught me to read when I was 4-5 and it was such a great experience. this is the book my dad used to teach me to read. Great book. Very very awesome.
We have this book and so far my child is doing well with it. Good luck!!
