Three in fact. See here: The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401301061/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_F2XEAb18XJV7V. The others are under the related books area.
Fred Rogers and Winnie the Pooh taught me more about being human than any religious book or Mormon leader. When I hear Rogers say, "I like you just the way you are," I feel The Spirit^^TM. BTW that is a message not taught in church. I was always told I was broken and not living up to who the church wanted me to be, not who I was.
There's a book he wrote called, "The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Thing to Remember" that is a real piece of thoughtful inspiration. Amazon link. He wrote a few others that absolutely put all the garbage mormon leaders have churned out to shame.
Clearly you need this because your own link literally fucking says Rosenbaum fucked kids. Also Snopes can eat a bag of dicks for writing a 1000 word dissertation to dance around the fact that all three of them had long histories of being criminals and pretending they were in the right when they all attacked a minor with varying degrees of lethal force as he was running away. While I'm here, just to make sure all the little Snopes simps come crawling out of the woodwork yet again to yell at me for daring to insult their messiah. Fuck Snopes, fuck Snopes, fuck Snopes. Come and get me you little mouth breathers, I love watching you desperately piss into the wind to defend the honor of a fucking website.
This book is a great resource (Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons). However, I also think that you should definitely give yourself some slack. I am guessing that a lot of his classmates are going to be in the same boat as him with the way this last year has gone so hopefully it will be a non-issue as they will need to be getting a lot of students back on track. Best of luck!
I'm not sure what issues your child has with reading but...
I started using this book with my daughter when she was 4. At 6, she's now reading on a 3rd grade level. Just one section a night really really helped. It's very different from other types of learning to read, but it did work very well for my daughter, so I like to share it whenever I can.
Assuming no eye/vision issues - this book is fantastic. I use it with kids that I tutor. It gets kids from knowing the alphabet to fluently reading in six weeks (sometimes less) if you work at it consistently for about half an hour per day.
We used this book when my son turned 4. Lessons are only like 10 min/day and he was reading in a couple weeks. Highly recommend it.
He is in kindergarten now and scored 99% percentile for reading.
Friends highly recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985
My daughter also plays games on Homer and her ability to write some letters unassisted has been great. She also gets Haggerty lessons at Pre-K; we practice rhyming at home.
🤣 Ha!
For you kings with kids, this is the book to use to help teach those princes/princesses how to read. The beginning can be challenging, but you will see results before you know it. 💪👧👦
There is a D&D numbers book and alphabet book
https://www.amazon.com/123s-Dungeons-Dragons-Childrens-Book/dp/0786966688/
https://www.amazon.com/ABCs-Dungeons-Dragons-Childrens-Book/dp/0786966661/
There are a whole slew of kid friendly d&d books and games for kids if you're willing to do some sleuthing and go down that rabbit hole.
Wait.... I'm almost positive that if you actually read what I said, that I gave Bellicheck credit, no? I said Brady likely had MORE to do with it, but I didn't say Bellicheck had NOTHING to do with it?
Maybe spend some money on this and then answer me back.
I homeschool my kids. My eldest learned how to read at 3. My youngest however didn’t catch on as quickly and the only book that helped her was this:
https://www.amazon.com.au/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985
She’s 7 now and reads chapter books for fun. As for writing, I purchase handwriting books that are at the state approved standard. They practice everyday . I also utilised a whiteboard with lines for them to write on for fun. Another tactic I used was buying journals for each of them, and giving them journal topics to write about. I don’t correct their journal writing, this just gives them an activity that helps integrate writing into their lives naturally. HTH
We used this book with my daughter (she’s on the spectrum, what I have heard referred to as low needs). It went very well and she started to read literally within 3 months. The book was great because it had very precise and clear instructions for the parent on exactly what to say to the child. It took us about 20mins a day for 3.5 months. We were very happy with the book and recommended it to all other parents we know as well.

For under $10, you can get a used copy of Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. It isn't absolutely the BEST phonics program out there, but it gets recommended all the time because it's seriously by far the best for its price point and does a reasonable and fairly thorough job of walking a beginning reader (and their parent/caregiver) through all the basics.

Grab Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons as a phonics crash-course. Emphasize to parents how much he needs to work on his reading skills over the summer. I wouldn't worry so much about the sight words if he's still having trouble blending. And cross your fingers.
You can also pick up Elephant & Piggie books to read with him. K-2 kids love them and they're fabulous for teaching print recognition.

That’s kind of like saying you’re good at driving a car so you want to build one from scratch.
Teachers go to school for years to learn this. The science behind how kids learn to read is complex. It takes explicit instruction of phonics, building phonemic awareness skills, and connecting it to orthography (writing). Not so simple.
You can try this book as a starting point: https://www.amazon.ca/Teach-Your-Child-Read-Lessons/dp/0671631985
We bought these and have been really happy with them. First Little Readers Parent Pack: Guided Reading Level A https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0545231493/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WGV3Y8S76D8773QPJY9D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The other thing we got was a magnetic board that is also erase marker. It came with all kinds of magnetic letters. Usually I make a simple word, he writes it and pronounces it. We play it like a game.
This is what book those pages came from, in case anyone was curious. Someone in the reviews was kind enough to post a picture of the same line tracing page.
If she can’t read or write, her education level is far below 5th grade (though I understand she was probably pushed through). Makes me wonder if she’s ever been tested for a learning disability, such as dyslexia. In that case, there are wonderful programs specifically designed to work for her, but finding a Tito is costly.
I’ve heard really great things about this book and is probably an affordable starting point without further support: Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671631985/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_NZVBVQWMMZEN6W5VRVRH
I guess it depends on where he's getting stuck. Is it individual words? IE, does he have trouble seeing C-A-T and saying "cat"? One issue I've seen at that level is trouble blending the first two letters. They'll say "Cuh-Aa-Tuh" instead of "cat." One thing that sometimes helps is blending the first two letters together before approaching the third - "Cuh" -> "Cuh-Aa" -> "Ca" -> "CaTuh" -> "Cat."
If he can read some words but has trouble with books, then try simple beginner reader books. The libraries around here have this series, which I think is great (some are a lot harder than others, though). Amazon has some similar ones, like this (I didn't like these as much, but they're decent).
Keep in mind that different fonts can trip up early readers (for instance, having the "a" with a hood, or the "g" that has a circle at the bottom", and a lot of kids books can be pretty difficult to read.
>Bought a bunch of stuff, wants to race, then wants to build a class around stuff he bought.
your reading and comprehension is F minus dude. my suggestion was race stock mini b/t R2R. the outlaw austin group does this kind of shit, lots of clubs run stock slash, etc. this isnt an advanced concept. you just happened to ask what building a pro roller kit cost, which a) was not relevant to running stock classes and b) i just happened to be able to answer because i just built one. i think you just cant see the forest for the trees because you are hell bent on spending money to win instead of reading and comprehension.
It’s you
This book was really fabulous for teaching my kids to read when they were younger than that. It tells you exactly what to say, starts with a font that makes it easy for kids to distinguish similar letters, and introduces letters a few at a time with writing. By the end, they can read page long stories and are ready for easy readers. The only thing you need besides the book is a pad of paper with printing guidelines.

I don’t know how it would work for an 8 year old, but the scripted nature of the lessons could work well to soothe any anxieties.
Does the kid like being read to? Do you think there's something he'd like having read to him? Not to conflate the psychology of four year-old me with a seven year-old but I distinctly remember wanting to know what was on the pages of my picture books. Plus he's old enough to have some idea of what he likes. It doesn't matter if it has to be religious or you hate it, sometimes the point is just having the child follow a narrative with you.
My parents made a lot of mistakes but they did really well with teaching my brother and I to read at home. We had nightly sessions of being read to and lessons out of this book. I don't know how often you are given time with the kids.
