More than 65% of 8th graders read below grade level.
Smart Steps Reading can bridge the gap!
About Smart Steps
Most reading programs begin by teaching children to memorize high frequency words so they can begin to read earlier. However, because of this focus on memorization and not enough focus on phonemic awareness, the child learns to guess on unfamiliar words rather than spending the time developing their decoding skills. This lack of practice in decoding makes a huge negative impact in the student’s ability to read, especially as the reading becomes more difficult.
The Smart Steps Reading Program helps students develop their phonemic awareness and decoding skills through the presentation of good examples, built one skill at a time, until it becomes a strong foundation of information and skill.

Where to Start
Unlock the world of knowledge with access to learn anytime, anywhere.
I believe that reading should be effortless and fun without endless practicing or expensive tutoring. When a child can read well, it dramatically increases their self-confidence in learning. They can do better in every other subject in school, because reading is the foundation for all learning. You can give them the skills they need to be a strong reader in just minutes a day!

Testimonials
The interactive and engaging curriculum has not only sparked a genuine love for learning but also allowed our children to thrive academically.
I absolutely love the Smart Steps Reading Program. My daughter is in Kindergarten and has improved substantially in just 6 months. She started the Beginner Program when she had just barely learned her letter sounds and now she’s reading above grade level! The program is structured in such a way that is so intuitive to a beginning reader. It is challenging, but not so much that she gets frustrated, and moves along quick enough that she makes real progress. Using this program has really helped her self-confidence in her reading ability. She loves to practice and asks me every day if she can do her “reading time”. It really only takes a few minutes a day and has made all the difference in the world! She definitely wouldn’t be reading at her level if we hadn’t started the Smart Steps Reading Program. I highly recommend it!
“I highly recommend the Smart Steps Reading Program. I started this program with my 4-year-old son to help him develop a strong foundation in reading. The daily lessons have been perfect to help him understand how sounds work together and how to feel confident reading. He has had such a positive experience with the program. I noticed that my daughter (in 1st grade) was guessing on words she didn’t know. She started the Foundational Reading Program and it has been a great review for her and has given her a greater understanding of how to read words she isn’t familiar with. I have also noticed, that since starting the program, she is doing better in spelling. This is a great program for beginning and struggling readers!”
“This program has been a game-changer. I can tell a noticeable difference in my daughter’s reading skills already versus her older siblings that were taught the ‘traditional’ sight word approach. It makes so much sense that we need to be teaching reading from the standpoint of how to sound words out and solidify that skill so they don’t become ‘guessers’ when they approach a word they don’t know. I’m grateful that this program is helping my daughter be a confident reader.
“These reading programs check all the boxes for me and my kids! I have a child who is in the Beginner Program and another in the Foundational Program. As a busy mom, I have zero prep and minimal daily time commitment. The lessons are engaging and easy to use for both me and my kids. After starting these programs, I noticed that their interest in reading increased dramatically. I have seen remarkable changes in their ability to read, their confidence, and they are thoroughly enjoying the reading journey. My daughter is now learning, trying, and practicing with a growth mindset until she has mastered the concept. She told me, “Mom, I never, ever, ever thought that I would say this, but I really do love reading!” The changes in her have been dramatic, and I would recommend this program to every parent.
