Greater reading confidence
Children gain tools that help reading feel less confusing and more manageable.
My Approach
Helping children learn to read with confidence.
Every lesson is intentionally designed around decades of reading research that helps children build strong, lasting reading skills.
Built on the Science of Reading
Reading instruction should be clear, structured, and purposeful.
Reading is not something most children naturally discover on their own. Research has shown that strong reading instruction explicitly teaches the skills children need to become confident, independent readers.
Instead of asking students to memorize words or guess from pictures, instruction helps children understand how sounds, letters, and spelling patterns work together.
What This Means for Your Child
Skills are taught in a way children can understand and use.
Stronger decoding skills
Students learn how to approach unfamiliar words by understanding sound and spelling patterns.
Increased independence
Instruction builds skills children can apply when reading beyond the lesson.
More successful practice
Reading practice is connected to the skills students are learning, so practice feels purposeful.
Four Teaching Components
Each lesson builds reading skills step by step.
Phoneme Manipulation
Students practise hearing, identifying, and changing the individual sounds within spoken words.
Explicit Phonics with Orthographic Mapping
Students connect sounds to letters and spelling patterns so words become easier to remember and read.
Targeted Reading Practice
Students read words and sentences that match the skill they just learned so they can apply it right away.
Kinesthetic Spelling
Students use movement, writing, and hands-on practice to strengthen sound, letter, and spelling connections.
What a Typical Lesson Looks Like
Instruction moves from sounds to reading and spelling.
Hear Sounds
Students begin by listening for and working with the sounds in words.
Learn the Pattern
Students connect those sounds to letters and spelling patterns.
Read Connected Text
Students practise reading words and sentences that use the target pattern.
Practise Through Spelling
Students reinforce learning through writing, spelling, and hands-on practice.
