Learn-to-Read
Workshop
An interactive and engaging 5-day course that gives your child the tools they need to jumpstart their reading and writing journey.
Mastering Letter Sounds
By the end of the workshop, your child will confidently know the sounds of 5 key letters, which are the building blocks of reading
Blending Sounds into Words
Your child will be able to blend these letter sounds together to form simple 2- and 3-letter words, a foundational skill in early reading
Writing with Confidence
Your child will practice writing each of the 5 letters, gaining confidence in their ability to form letters on paper
Reading Simple Sentences
Your child will read two simple sentences, giving them a sense of accomplishment and boosting their confidence as they see their progress
Building a Love for Reading
Through engaging and interactive activities, your child will start to enjoy the process of learning to read, setting the stage for a lifelong love of books and learning.
"She especially liked the games"
"My neurodivergent 7 year old participated in 5-day workshop. She enjoyed the live zoom sessions and asked to join them each day. She especially liked the games like thumbs up/down for words that start with the daily letter and the home scavenger hunt for an item that starts with the daily letter. She enjoyed some of the resources that I strewed from Catherine’s program like the letter craft and the online game of choosing the appearing/disappearing image of items that start with the daily letter. Catherine was open to hearing my feedback on the pre-recorded videos and materials for improving accessibility for my child’s unique learning needs. Catherine was able to make changes and adapt the resources quickly so my child could continue the program. We were lucky to try the one-week program individually, which works best for my child for processing the information. I think the full program has the potential to improve letter sound awareness, build a strong foundation for reading and to initiate reading for many children. If my child continues to express interest and desire to continue, I will support her in her learning journey by enrolling in Catherine’s full curriculum." - Angela (Canada)

" As an elementary teacher I find it difficult to juggle the vast variety of needs of my students. This program is an excellent resource that students can use independently in the classroom while I'm busy working with other students. This program is also great for extra practice at home. The modules are easy to follow and the videos are engaging. The best part is this program requires minimal prep time as the workbook, assessments and additional games and videos are all included!"
" The program takes all the guesswork out of beginning our homeschooling journey. Ms. J has thought about absolutely everything! From the preparation process to the fabulous workbook, and the beautiful videos, it's all covered!"

Expertise in early literacy and education
Using science-backed methods, her kindergarten class reached their reading level, before spring break
This will depend on your child's DEVELOPMENTAL stage. Every child is unique. I would say that ages 4 and up will not only enjoy it, but be able to participate in all aspects of the program. However, younger children will also enjoy and learn. My 2-year-old follows along, participates, and remembers what she learns in my videos. Some children may not be ready yet for the writing portion, so you can just skip that part for now and go back to it when they have better developed their fine motor skills.
For forever! You will have lifetime access to this program and all of the contents (less the live lessons). Not only that, but you can access ANY TIME 24/7. This means you can create your OWN schedule and routine. This also means you can go at your CHILD'S pace.
Absolutely! I will help you every step of the way. The program is meant to do the heavy lifting, so you can spend your valuable time having fun with your child. I provide all of the worksheets, activities, and games, so you don't need to wonder how to do it all. Not only that, but I provide you with a list of other ways to practice in a fun way, complete with a full description of how to implement it. You can do it!!
Absolutely!! I wanted something to be completely accessible to all families starting out with reading practice. Not only that, but the program is a great jumpstart to future learning, and every child should be able to benefit from that, regardless of financial situation.
I love types of assessment to 1. see where your child is at in their current knowledge so you know what next steps to take, and 2. to check in on progress and retention. If you don't know where they are at in learning, it will be very difficult to help them in the best way possible. Know where they are, so you know where to guide them. The assessment can be the formal sheet with flash cards, OR you can play a game that has them casually tell you answers, and you can track it afterwards. Sneaky assessments. :)
