”Our youngest daughter was three when we started her on the program. By the time she started kindergarten, she was reading on a second grade level. We have an older daughter in the fifth grade who has difficulty reading, and we only wish that we could have had the opportunity to use this with her.” —Gary E., DDS

A phonics-based approach teaches the building blocks—the sounds and rules—of the English language. Your child must be familiar with these building blocks to effectively ‘sound out’ words they don’t know. Many schools teach reading by using a systematic, phonics-based approach, but many don’t.
If your child’s school is not using a direct-instruction phonics-based approach, it’s particularly important that you teach phonics at home.
Phonics is the code to the English language; once learned, it can be applied to literally thousands of words. When a child is familiar with the code, they can sound out almost anything—which is critical when the subject matter becomes more complex.
Set your child up for reading success by teaching them to read with phonics!
“We used your program for the first time tonight and I had a hard time limiting my daughter to one letter! As a former teacher, I’m excited to have a fun tool for teaching phonics to my daughter.” –Fran M., former teacher

“I just started the program this evening with Charlotte. Not realizing what to expect, I was impressed with the simplicity of the initial instructions of how the program works. It was comforting in a way to not be reading a “textbooky” guide on how to teach your kids to read and even reminded me of how my mother taught me to read, a very welcoming invitation off the bat.
As a working mother, it’s hard to find enough quality time with your children, so with just 5 minutes a day, this is such an easy exercise to incorporate into their routine. Charlotte was very eager to try the sounds on her own after a walkthrough of the first couple…she’s already looking forward to tomorrow.”

Take Charge of Your Child’s Education
While there are many factors that contribute to a child’s ability to perform well, reading is one of the most important. Every subject in school involves the ability to read. Children who read well tend to excel at whatever they do, and a good reader almost always becomes a confident student.
By teaching reading at home, you’re taking charge of your children’s education by making sure they learn this important skill. Rather than ‘hoping’ they catch on, you can know with certainty they will.
“I’m thrilled I have this program to help my daughter learn to read and help take charge of my children’s education…we are far enough along that I can see results and certainly see that it works.” —Kathy B.
Minimize Screen Time
Many parents are concerned about the amount of time their children spend in front of screens. Experiencing the world through screens has potential consequences that are becoming increasingly alarming: compromised social skills, restlessness and boredom during ‘no screen’ time, and passive learning through entertainment.
According to the Mayo Clinic, “Elementary students who spend more than two hours a day watching TV, playing video games, or using a computer or smartphone are more likely to have emotional, social, and attention problems.”
As our modern world continues to rely more heavily on digital information, the time your child spends on screens will only increase.
By choosing Teach Your Child to Read™, you will spend no more than 5 minutes a day on-screen as you progress through the lessons.
But here’s the difference. With our program, you and your child will be actively working through each lesson together. Your lessons will move ‘off screen’ and into real life: scribbling on napkins in restaurants, reading road signs in the car, and sounding out words in books at the library—a much healthier way to experience the world!
To help your child learn to read with phonics, you will want a phonics reading program that matches your child’s learning style. If your child is between the ages of 3 to 6, be sure to evaluate each program for the following:
Encourage Proactive Learning
In many online reading programs, children simply follow a given path, game, or set of instructions, passively learning and being entertained.
What many parents like about Teach Your Child to Read™ is that your child will learn how to learn. No passive learning here! As an active participant in each lesson, your child will feel empowered to develop their own skills, a characteristic that sets the stage for a lifelong habit of pursuing whatever they’re curious about.
In other words, you won’t be the only one taking charge of your child’s education; your child will be right there with you—not just learning how to read, but learning how to learn.
“We have used [the program] as little as 4 times and we are already on Step 2. It’s very easy to use, and my daughter looks forward to the little extra one-on-one time.” Elise G., higher education academic advisor
