Discover How to Accelerate All of Your Readers...In a Simplified Way That Saves You Time!
Wish You Knew A Way To
Reach Every Struggling Reader?
Laura was a teacher just like you. She tried hard and put all her energy into her first grade class in her low-income, rural school. Most of the class flourished.
However, a couple of students just weren't making their benchmarks in reading. Trinity especially stuck out.
Then Laura Learned A
Handful Of Activities That She Began Using With Trinity...
Then Laura learned a handful of activities that she began using with Trinity…
Trinity immediately began to improve her decoding:
She went from reading just 37 words-per-minute (wpm) to over 60 wpm in less than 2 weeks!
Laura was hooked! She said:
Or, perhaps you are just too overwhelmed by the literacy needs of your entire class to even THINK about the unique needs of your weakest reader.
Your district keeps piling on the standards, expectations, pacing guidelines, and professional development. And that's just for literacy!?!
Feeling overwhelmed by the demands for phonemic awareness, phonics, handwriting, spelling, decoding, high frequency words, writing, comprehension, & vocabulary…just to name a few?
Yes, you love your work. Yes, you love the kids. But the hope that “next year” you would capture that illusive “work-life balance” is fading into memory.
You prep, and prep, and think, and search, and prep some more. Teaching 25 different students with 25 different reading needs seems like an impossible, insurmountable mountain to climb.
So many needs! So many literacy standards!
And so many possible activities!
Do you wonder which needs are most pressing?
And which activities will make the biggest difference?
