FAQ's

This program is designed to take about 18 months to complete, although the daily practice required is only 5-15 minutes per day, so it isn’t a big time committment.

There is NO daily prep required. Just open the pages and start practicing. I include everything you need to help your child step-bystep through this program with quick parent instruction and I also have a few short instructional videos that can be extra helps.

The most common reason kids don’t like to read is because it is difficult. It takes too much mental energy to decode (or guess). When the decoding is difficult, comprehension is low and they don’t enjoy it. My program fills in the information gaps and divides practice into small, manageable chunks so over time, this systematic learning makes a BIG difference. When it isn’t as difficult to read, they will enjoy it so much more.

I have a Master’s Degree in Special Education, so I was especially mindful of children with learning disadvantages when I created this program. The program is clear and simple and isn’t overwhelming for a child that has a short attention span. In a short time each day, they will get the practice and information needed to become a strong reader — as opposed to traditional instruction that can be frustrating and create resistance to reading. With this one-on-one approach, you will be able to identify gaps and make sure they are understanding each section before moving on.

Yes! When a child does not have the knowledge or practice they need decoding, the more they practice reading, the more frustrated they become. They need effective instruction to progress. This program is designed for the individual. The student moves at their own pace, but because of the systematic introductions and specific decoding practice, they will make progress quicker than in a group teaching setting. You will also avoid information gaps that you can have in a group setting when your child is absent or not paying attention.

The key to helping your child be a successful reader is to use the program consistently. Your child will be practicing sound combinations, which will be reviewed on consecutive days so they can be remembered and mastered. The program is easy to follow and implement, but must be done consistently. As you are consistent, you will see big gains in their reading ability and they’ll begin to enjoy reading!
