How do you teach a child to read?

All students have different abilities...,
Different levels of background knowledge...,
Different motivation levels...,
Different attention spans...,
Different challenges...,
ALL CHILDREN LEARN DIFFERENTLY.
What if your child HATES learning to read?
What if your child struggles?

When faced with a new or struggling reader,
it's scary and hard to know where to begin.

All kids have their challenges
...and you want to make sure learning to read is something she succeeds at and will enjoy...

Good News: Teaching Reading is easier than you think.

In the Reading Patch, we’ve developed a simple, step by step system for helping new readers learn to read with confidence.
It’s as easy as 1-2-3:

Step 1. Build Confidence
A confident reader loves to read, a struggling reader hates to read because it does not make them feel good.  Teach a child a controlled vocabulary of sight words to help build confidence. 

Step 2. Teach in the "correct" order.
Teach reading in the correct order...  when you build confidence using a controlled vocabulary and sprinkle in phonics and reading comprehension, teaching reading is easy and fun.  

Step 3. Practice and give praise!
When your child practices, and hears praise, you’re making him more confident—and more sunshine equals greater reading success!

We’ve gathered everything you need to help your child be successful, all in one place.

Step by Step Video Instruction

Based on 30 years of first grade reading intervention experience, we’ve developed a unique step-by-step system for kickstarting your child's reading success. It begins with learning just two easy sight words and plenty of practice to jumpstart your child’s confidence. Lessons build sequentially, so your child will have the tools to feel successful. You and your child can watch together (directly Mrs. Karle) via video, or you can watch this master teacher to recreate the lessons on your own!

Parent’s Manual and Helpful Hints

For each lesson, you’ll have a script to follow so you can work through the lessons with full support. Plus, we’re highlighting the most helpful teaching points to make sure you’re encouraging and guiding your child effectively. There’s no room for error! You’ll know exactly  what to do.

Guided Practice Pages + Bonus Extension Activities

Just five minutes of practice each day will help your child internalize the reading lessons, and we have everything prepared for you, all in one place. Breeze through a single practice assignment and on to the next lesson...or stay in the same lesson with extra extension activities to solidify your child’s learning. No need to go searching for “extra help” worksheets with this program—you’ll never get lost down the Google/Pinterest/TPT rabbit hole again!

In short?

We’ve gathered everything you need to help your little reader be successful, all in one place.

We LOVE your site! It has made my son excited about being able to read each page. At the end of the day, he takes his worksheet around reading it to everyone he sees!  He’s gaining so much confidence, which is amazing to see because he previously had such a bad self concept about reading.

What reading levels does this program cover? Expand

Each lesson builds step by step on the previous lesson. The first 25 lessons will help your child become proficient at roughly a Kindergarten level (ready for first grade). Lessons 26 - 120 cover everything you’ll need to be ready for second grade.  By the end of our 120 program your little reader will be reading at a second grade reading level.  This pack is for the first 10 days of our program.  The first 10 days will give your reader confidence and a love of reading.  If you want, you can purchase more days as needed. 

What is your teaching philosophy? Expand

We believe that all children can learn to read.  If Helen Keller could accomplish so much with so many challenges, then every child can learn and thrive.  We believe that in order to teach a child to read, you have to build confidence. A confident reader loves to read.  A struggling reader does not like to read because reading does not feel good.

Sight words or Phonics? Expand

Both!  You need both!  We initially teach a controlled vocabulary of sight words.  This allows the little reader to gain confidence and only read the words they know.  As the little reader feels confident, we introduce phonics and word families. We introduce letters and letter sounds throughout the entire process as well.

Can I see a sample lesson? Expand

Yes! We would love for you to try the Reading Patch for a few days with your little reader (or readers)...

Lesson 1
Lesson 2
Lesson 3

We focus first on building confidence.  When your little reader sees success in Lesson 1, they will want to continue learning!

I have another question not answered here.... Expand

Got a question that wasn’t answered here? Email us at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to answer it for you!

How long does it take to do the program each day? Expand

Our program takes 15 minutes each day.  We give you explicit directions that you can read beforehand and then it takes about 10 minutes to teach and 5 minutes for practice.   In addition, we give you many extra worksheets and activities in this essentials pack so that your little reader gets and extra 10 minutes of fun to further reinforce concepts learned that day (or week).

How old does my little reader need to be? Expand

There really is no "correct" age.  Usually a child is ready around age 5...  but, really you want to see if the child is "reading ready" to see if you are ready to begin.  We include a reading readiness test within this pack so that you can test your reader. You can always begin and if your child struggles, you pause. ...wait a few days, repeat where you left off (or start over).  The important thing is that your little reader has confidence...if they start to struggle at all, they are not ready. We have had people teach using our program as young as 3.5, and we have had adults learn to read using our program!  We have also taught many ESL students of all ages and many special needs students. We get thank you letters all the time from people all over the world with all different abilities and languages. The key is confidence.

What Teachers and Parents are Saying...

"I have taught Kindergarten for 11 years. I came across this program last year and immediately loved it! It is so child-friendly, teacher-friendly, and perfectly aligned to our curriculum! It even includes a Reading Readiness Assessment, sight word flash cards, and step-by-step tutorials on how to use the resources. After beginning this program with my students i the middle of the year, I saw a huge growth in their word recognition and fluency. My End of Year scores for Reading were the highest they have ever been in my 11 years of teaching! I would highly recommend this program for all teachers who wants to see their students develop a love of reading!"
