Core Program Components

Sounds

Learn techniques to teach students how to pronounce letter sounds correctly using magnetic or digital boards. Correct pronunciation is essential for building a solid reading foundation.

Syllables

Master the steps to guide students in constructing and reading nonsense words from 1-6 syllables. This syllable practice develops decoding skills and phonetic understanding.

Words

Learn how to integrate phonetic words into daily reading, spelling, and writing exercises to enhance reading fluency and vocabulary retention.

Reading and Comprehension

Each lesson dedicates time to reading from structured chapter books that increase in complexity. You’ll use our “Pressure Release” technique, a read-aloud strategy that supports comprehension and fluency.

Writing

Discover methods for engaging reluctant writers. Students complete a written response in every session, building comprehension by summarizing, predicting, and inferring story elements.

Fluency

We provide fluency techniques, such as “Repeated Readings,” to encourage daily practice and reinforce neural pathways associated with reading. This technique also allows our families to support ongoing literacy development at home.

"As fast as you can; as slow as you must!" What a great approach for our kids! It's not about us and the program's procedure; it's about them and their needs. This allows me to come to them, wherever they are, and then go beyond...quickly, and efficiently!
