How can I teach my child to read?

Yes, you can teach your child to read! There are specific explicit steps you can take to teach your child to read, and I would love to help you get started. I was a first-grade teacher and discovered the phonograms, which helped me teach my own child. See what some of the parents I’ve worked with have to say below.
My daughter just finished her 6th class and two nights ago she started to read. I was in tears. It was like magic. Just like that! From one day to the next! It’s impossible to explain!!! You just have to trust the process as well as Mr. B!

I haven’t known how to help my kids with reading and this course is giving me skills for teaching them. My 5 year old is building his reading confidence and has been taking more risks with reading more challenging material.

Parent of five-year-old
After reviewing the phonograms and learning the new phonograms, he has been reading every night and is much more confident. He knows he has the tools to sound out words and needs less help with his reading. He is on to chapter books and is so proud of himself.

I was eager to pass along my love for reading to my son. The program gave us all the right tools to make the experience of teaching him to read joyful for me, and more importantly, easy and fun for him. We plan to use the program again soon with our second child!
