About this listen

You’ll will get pro tips for teaching phonics skills so that your child can become a confident reader AND leave you feeling successful at the end of your homeschool days because you had an EXACT routine to follow!

Hey, I’m Melanie. I am wife to Bill, mom to three hard-working teenagers, and have been teaching 4-7 year-old students to read for the last 10 years in K-2 classrooms. Reading God’s Word, the Bible, gives me hope and grounds me with peace in a world filled with chaos.

As a beginning teacher, I taught kids to read using the wrong approach (old cueing system instead of phonics). Tired of teaching kids to guess what words they were reading by having them look at the beginning letter of a word and the accompanying picture, I knew there had to be a better way!

Then, I discovered a sequential, step-by-step phonics-based approach to teaching kids to read. An instructional model that teaches kids to read simple to more complex texts, phonics skill, by phonics skill.

An approach to teaching kids to read that I will forever use with beginning readers. And I’m ready to share it with you!

If you are ready to finally find a simple, yet highly effective way to teach your child to read…

Works in your homeschool schedule (while homeschooling kids with multiple learning styles).

Boosts your confidence because you WHAT phonics skill to teach and HOW to teach it.

Leaves you feeling successful because your child is reading with confidence.
