Frustrated with homeschool paper clutter taking over your home, leaving your homeschool days feeling chaotic? Switch to whiteboards! The goal for teaching your child to read isn't to have them do a bunch of random tracing pages anyway. Lead your child through phonics drill and skills. Teach them to read instead of having them colour alphabet worksheets (again)! Tracing worksheets are busy work, but they won't teach your child to read.
If you're serious about teaching your child to read using daily phonics lessons that actually move the needle for your child as a reader, it's time to cut the fluff and teach phonics like a PRO!
My course, TEACH YOUR CHILD TO READ: CONFIDENTLY MODEL SIMPLE PHONICS SKILLS AT HOME includes a complete, printable Kindergarten Phonics Curriculum and Phonics Skills Tutorials for MOMS! Finally, you can know what trained teachers know about teaching children to read (without the paper clutter)!!

Does your 3rd grader struggle to read at grade-level? Is your child losing confidence as a reader? Are you wondering what else you can do to increase your child's reading ability? Will buying new books actually help you teach your child to read?
Or, is it time to pinpoint gaps in your child's foundational phonics skills? Mom, if your child struggles to read, let's invite her to do a baseline reading assessment (basically, a phonics checklist of letter-sound relationships for reading and spelling), so that we know which phonics skills your child needs to make progress as a reader.
