Each of these action-packed books build students' reading skills using two types of exercises: Daily Note Search emphasizes quick recognition of notes out of five-finger positions; Short Phrases in five-finger positions give your students a daily diet of reading (not rehearsing). The suggested practice routine fosters excellent self-evaluation habits. Progress reports help teachers and students track annual progress. Both of Levels 1 and 2 may be used with any beginning piano method. Level 2 provides sight reading material, both in and out of 5-finger position.

Although you could make this work without this book, it does a great job of working you along so you can reflexively recognize the notes. It has helped me learn new pieces as note reading does not come naturally. For $5, this was a great value for me.

I am very pleased with these Bastien sight reading books.

My daughter and I have been learning piano together, with the guidance of a piano teacher. I bought this book to help my daughter (kindergarten) improve her reading skills as she learns largely by ear. Though she is working through Bastien level 2, this book was a quite bit challenging for her and should have started with easier pieces in basic 5 finger positions (middle C, C and F). We are instead using sonatinas in color for sight reading until she is ready to handle this book.
