// 02 // what she teaches

Four things every parent should have been shown.

Each one taught all the way through. Never a teaser that holds the answer back.

SOUNDS

Letters, sounds, and how they turn into words.

The part most parents were never shown. How a child goes from knowing every letter to reading the word.

AT HOME

Ten minutes a night that actually works.

Routines for reading time at your kitchen table. No workbooks, no fights, no guessing what to do next.

SCHOOL TALK

Report cards and teacher notes, translated.

What the grade means, what to ask at the conference, and the calm next step when the news is not great.

TRICKY SPOTS

b and d. Guessing from the picture. Won't sit still.

The struggles every parent sees, why they happen, and the small fix a teacher would reach for first.

Live calls, e-guides, workbooks and e-books, built from 30 years of teaching children to read. Full releases open in November. The whole Library goes on sale Black Friday, November 27.

// 04 // meet your teacher

Thirty years of first readers.

Judy taught kindergarten through 4th grade for 30 years and holds a master's degree in early childhood education. She is a reading specialist, still works with school reading groups part time, and tutors.

She has heard the same worry at pickup for three decades: my child is behind and I don't know what to do. The answer is rarely a tutor. It is a parent who knows what the next step is. That is what she teaches.

// 05 // questions parents ask

Before you sign up.

What ages is this for?

Pre-K through 4th grade. The free preview and the Library are written for the parent, with pages your child uses alongside you.

Do I need any teaching experience?

No. Every guide walks you through what to say, what to point at, and when to stop. If you can sit next to your child for ten minutes, you can run it.

My child has an IEP or a dyslexia diagnosis. Is this still for us?

The guides are for everyday reading at home and work alongside your school's plan, not instead of it. Judy does not diagnose, and nothing here replaces your child's teacher or specialist.
