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.

Is Your Grade 1 or Grade 2 Child Struggling to Read? Teach Vowel Sounds in This Order!
The 'Science of Reading' is not one book, but a collection of research about how children learn to read. The technical term for sound when it comes to literacy instruction is phoneme, so the technical term for sound awareness is phonemic awareness. Today, we will focus on phonemic awareness with consonant sounds.

Teach Kindergarten to Grade 2? Read and Spell Words Using this Strategy!
What is a word chain? A ‘word chain’ is a ‘chain’ of words linked together. In a chain each link is separate, but connected or linked together. A word chain is a chain of words that are similar, but one sound or phoneme in each word has changed from the previous word. For example, in the very short word chain ‘rip, sip, sap, sat, your child has substituted the beginning sounds of two rhyming words, ‘rip’ and ‘sip’, changed the medial or middle vowel sound, when changing ‘sip’ to ‘sap’ and substituted ‘p’ for ‘t’ when going from ‘sap’ to ‘sat’. Tap into the power of word chains to fast-track your child's phonics instruction!

Learn to Read with Only Five Vowel Sounds!
Forming vowel sounds requires the shape and position of our tongue, lips and jaw. Our child will benefit when we not only teach him the short ‘a’ says, /a/, but teach him to make that sound. Your child will have fun using a mirror to watch his lips, tongue and jaw change position while making each of the 5 short vowel sounds.
