Do you worry that you won't be able to teach your kiddo how to read? Are you overwhelmed by all the reading homeschool curriculums to choose from and wonder which one is best? Do you wish you had an EXACT routine to follow for your child's daily phonics instruction?

I am so excited you're here! This podcast will help you check the boxes for phonics instruction on your daily homeschool reading schedule. We will offer you pro tips for teaching phonics skills so that your child can become a confident reader and leave you feeling successful at the end of your homeschool days because you had an exact reading routine to follow!

Hey, I'm Melanie. I am wife to Bill, mom to three hard-working teenagers, and have been teaching wonderful 4-7 year-old students to read for the last 10 years in a classroom setting! 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.

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 left me feeling defeated as a teacher. My students still struggled to read simple leveled books.

I finally realized that if I was going to teach kids to be confident readers, there had to be a phonics-based approach to reading instruction which allowed students to build confidence as readers, phonics skill by phonics skill.

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

This podcast is for you!

Get ready to check the boxes in your homeschool schedule using a phonics-based approach to reading! Watch your child’s confidence as a reader soar, while successfully applying phonics rules to read and spell words!
