The Science of Reading, Made Usable on a Real School Day

Phonics, spelling, and fluency instruction that actually fits the time you have and the students in front of you.

If you’re a K-5 teacher, interventionist, or a parent teaching at your kitchen table, you don’t need one more pile of resources. You need to know what a student is missing and what to do about it next.

That’s what everything here is built to do. Research-backed, explained simply, ready for Monday.

My student keeps reading ship as sip. What should I try?

Go back to the mouth first. /s/ is a smile, and /sh/ pushes your lips forward. Have them say both in a mirror, then sort a few s and sh picture cards.

The kind of question members send me on office hours day.
