"I can't thank you enough for this curriculum. It's given (my son) AND me the confidence in homeschooling."
-- Audrey, Homeschool mom of a 6-year-old
A beautiful book that puts beginning readers on the right path from the start.
They are cute little stories that my dyslexic son loved to read. Some of them were a bit too “beginner” for him, but I didn’t check on that. He loves reading stories, and we do it every night.We both love that he can actively participate now.
Made a huge difference.
Beautiful, engaging, and a great tool for helping my children get interested in reading in a way that isn't overwhelming or dry,
Such a super convenient way to take our reading lessons on the go!! I downloaded them onto my tablet, and now we can do our reading at the park or at grandparents houses without risking the paper readers getting torn up!!
These are great! My students really enjoyed using Rubberbands to make letters.
My Grandson was thrilled when I brought the cards home. We laminated the pages and he spent hours with a dry erase marker...writing and rewriting. Thank you so much for sharing!
The his was a nice hands on activity to work on learning letters. It is a nice change from writing or coloring.
I'm using mine with cardboard to do the letters and punching out the holes so my granddaughter can use them for sewing her numbers and letters.
Very useful svgs!!!

Easy to make and appealing to kids to create letters they have learned about all year.
I think theses cards are a cool concept to help kids not only learn how to write their letters but to recognize them also.
Since starting reading better together kit my daughter has already grown in leaps and bounds, been able to letter blend better and read words with little help. This is such a brilliant start to and incredible reading journey x
Love this bundle! Especially for my early reader! Tons of great materials to use all summer long!
"She used to say 'I can't read' and not even try reading or just make up words, but now she is flying through the course and trying to read more things on her own!"
-- Rochelle, Homeschool mom of an 8-year-old
208-Page Scripted Lesson Book (8.5x11 paperback)
32 weeks of complete daily lessons that tell you exactly what to say and do. Each 10-minute lesson includes two engaging games or activities with simple step-by-step directions.
520-Page Full-Color Story Anthology (6x9 paperback)
32 side-by-side stories featuring kid-favorite topics like dinosaurs, space, castles, princesses, and ice cream. Parent pages tell the engaging story while child pages contain only the letters, sounds, and words your child is currently learning—setting them up for success every single time.
This curriculum is designed for kindergarten-age children (typically ages 4-6) who are just beginning their reading journey. It's perfect for children who are learning letter names and sounds and are ready to start reading their first words and sentences.
Each lesson is designed to be completed in just 10 minutes! These short, focused sessions match your child's attention span and prevent frustration. This approach helps maintain enthusiasm and ensures consistent progress without overwhelming your child or disrupting your homeschool day.
Not at all! Every single lesson is completely scripted—it tells you exactly what to say to your child. The curriculum was designed specifically for parents without
education backgrounds. If you can read the script and follow simple directions, you can successfully teach your child to read.
Yes! This curriculum was created with active kids in mind. There are no worksheets or desk work—everything is taught through hands-on games and activities that
let kids move. Each 10-minute lesson includes two different activities to keep things engaging and fun.
You'll use everyday household items you already have (like crayons, paper, and your child's favorite toys) plus a set of magnetic letters or letter tiles. Everything you need is listed in the supply list and in each lesson plan—no expensive manipulatives required.
Unlike programs that rely on sight word memorization or guessing strategies, this curriculum is built on the science of reading with systematic phonics instruction. Plus, the side-by-side story format means your child reads REAL books from the very first week—not boring word lists. They get the win of
reading actual stories with covers and pages, which builds confidence and love of reading from day one.
In traditional early readers, kids struggle through boring, simplified text. With side-by-side stories, YOU read the engaging parent pages that make the story interesting (full of details about dinosaurs, space, castles, etc.), while your child reads only the letters, sounds, and words they're currently learning. This means they can enjoy real stories immediately while building skills—and they get a natural break after each page they read, making it less overwhelming.
Physical books will ship in 3-5 business days. Backordered books will ship in 2-3 weeks. You'll receive tracking information via email. Digital bonuses are delivered immediately after purchase so you can start using them right away!
Absolutely! The physical books are yours to use with your entire family. The digital bonuses include printable activities you can print as many times as needed for all your children.
"Best decision ever to consistently do this. I have a 4 year old reading like a champ. So happy with this curriculum!!!"
-- Kathryn, Homeschool great-grandma
When my son's reading lessons started ending in tears every day, I knew
something had to change. As an Orton Gillingham trained reading teacher
and homeschool mom, I combined the science of reading with what actually
works at home- and everything changed. If you're struggling (or want to
avoid the struggle), my story might just change yours too.
