As a Parent

My heart broke for my daughter when she struggled with learning to read in kindergarten and then failed and had to repeat kindergarten a second time. She struggled just as hard the second time and then nearly failed first grade as well.

I watched my daughter’s spirit sink as she fell farther and farther behind her peers at school. Nothing seemed to work in teaching her how to read, and we tried everything!

I worked with her for hours repeating the same letters, sounds and words over and over. Some days she would know them but then the next day she wouldn’t.

We would both end up crying over homework!

struggle with learning how to read

I tried all the school resources for three years but still watched as she fell farther and farther behind. I tried private tutoring, several different reading programs and learning centers. None of them made a significant difference. She still struggled.

She was a very intelligent and creative child.

I could not understand why she could not learn how to read.

I had no idea how to help her and I didn’t know what to do next. So I did what any distraught parent would do. I prayed for an answer.

I pledged to myself that if I could find the answers to my daughter’s struggle with reading I would show other parents the way to teach their struggling child how to read. And without having to take out a home equity loan for a specialized reading program like I eventually had to do.

I wanted to help others not have to go through this trauma, and it was a trauma!

Any parent whose child struggles with learning to read knows just what I am talking about!

Eventually I found a program that would work to teach my daughter how to read but at a price.

A huge price!

I had to take out a second mortgage on our home to pay the bill.

That’s what began my journey into researchng how a struggling reader learns to read, and I ended up discovering and developing this unique reading program!

As a Teacher

learn how to read

I worked with a client load of over eighty children per week. Most of my students were kids who might only be in this particular school for a couple of months. Their parents moved frequently to follow the available work in their field.

The program I used had to be quick and effective in order to reach this set of struggling readers. I needed a program that eliminated all the time consuming fluff and just got to the heart of the reading process.

I needed an 80/20 type reading program that used the 20 percent of reading instruction necessary to give me 80 percent of the reading results, and quickly! I also needed a program that worked with all types of struggling learners. Tall order!

I bought every reading program I could find and tried them all out!

how to help a struggling reader

None of the programs contained everything that I needed to get the success I wanted!

I was complaining to a collegue one day about how frustrating it was not to find a reading program that fit my needs. She suggested that I design my own program.

So that’s exactly what I did!

I remembered my pledge all those years ago when my daughter struggled.

And I looked around at my mini reading groups and saw all of those confident, joyful faces of students that not so long ago couldn’t read. Now they were bursting with confidence and excitement and eager to learn!

So that’s the exact moment I commited to begin the process of developing my own reading program.

After thousands of hours of research and and tons of trial and error, tweaking and retweaking, my program was completed!

Phenomonal Results for Struggling Readers of All Ages!

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Screen-Shot-2017-01-18-at-3.41.32-PM-300x170.png

This program can be used in Kindergarten to Grade 3 when learning to read and in higher grades when there are gaps in a person’s reading skills. Reading Blocks can also be used with adults struggling to read even though the content is for younger ages.

Fry Sight Words Included

Each block only contains skills which were taught and practiced in a previous Block. Sight words do not always follow phonics rules but are necessary for fluent reading, so they are included in each block. The sight words were chosen according to the skills being taught in that Block as well as frequency of use. A lot of research and effort went into including the sight words at the appropriate place in the program!

Controlled Text

As a Reading Specialist, it was always frustrating using a reading program that included so many words that were too advanced for the level of the reader and never strategically taught. The reader would become frustrated and self-esteem would plummet. The Reading Blocks program uses very controlled text and every skill is taught first and then reviewed periodically throughout the program. This ensures a high level of success and confidence for the reader.

Designed For Anyone to Use – No Training Needed!

I wanted Reading Blocks to be an inexpensive resource for anyone to be able to use to teach anyone how to read. Moms, grandmas, dads, friends, aunts, uncles…anyone can be successful with the Reading Blocks program. Just try it and see!

Learning Differences are OK

The Reading Blocks program can be used effectively with individuals who have: Autism, Dyslexia, Central Auditory Processing Disorder, ADD, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, and other learning challenges. The learner can learn at their own speed and in their own unique way.

Multisensory Instructions Matters

The multi-sensory methods help the learner to incorporate the material by making new pathways in the brain. This gives the learner more information to “grab onto” in their brain and helps any learner to learn better!

Videos are Available

The videos in the Early Reading Program can also be very helpful to include for a type of learner that needs repetitive viewing of the lessons. The videos can free up the instructor to be doing something else while the learner rewatches or repeats a lesson. The videos are lengthy! Pause and repeat according to your specific needs.

The Reading Blocks program combines literacy research and brain research with common, inexpensive office supplies, and explicit instructions to form a unique and powerful reading program for everyone to use!
