Proven techniques that have helped over 1,000 children become confident readers
Skills Your Child Will Master
Phonological & Phonemic Awareness
Develop the ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds in words—think rhyming, syllables, combining and separating sounds. This is the foundation of all reading success.
Letter Mastery
Learn the names, sounds, and symbols for the letters that make up the English alphabet. Your child will be able to identify both uppercase and lowercase letters and relate their sounds and names.
Decoding and Encoding
Use their letter sound mastery to blend sounds together and take them apart, unlocking the ability to decode (read) and encode (spell) any new word they encounter.
Spelling Patterns
Learn the sounds and spellings of common blends (sl, tr, ck) and digraphs (ch, sh, th) to increase the complexity of words they can read and spell.
Sight Word Recognition
Build a bank of high-frequency words through orthographic mapping that they can read, dramatically increasing reading fluency and confidence.
Reading Fluency
Progress from carefully sounding out each word to reading smoothly with expression, making reading enjoyable instead of laborious.
