I like to think of this question in terms of your child's developmental stage. Some children, younger than 3 (like my daughter), will thoroughly enjoy the video lessons, but may not have the fine motor skills to do the writing practice. In this case you can skip the writing for now, until they are ready. My daughter is still engaged and learning from my videos, at 2.5 years old. Otherwise, depending on your child's abilities, ages 4 and up will benefit. Not only that, but this program is great for any ESL student that is learning English as their second language.

I designed this program to take the bulk of the weight off your shoulders. The teaching part of learning to read, is done for you. you simply need to set up their device for them. If you would like to have them do additional worksheets or activities, then the 300+ page workbook makes it simple to look up the topic of that lesson, and print what you would like them to use. I also offer suggestions for games you can all play as a family. The point is, your role is to facilitate the FUN learning practice opportunities. You can take as much or as little time as you like. But I should say, the more time with fun practice games and activities, the more your child's reading will grow.

Unfortunately, due to the digital nature of the 300+ page workbook, I cannot offer a refund on the course in its entirety. Eventually I will separate the live lessons from the main course (creating an opt in), and offer tutoring, and those things will be refundable for sure (less the number of classes already attended by the student). I hope you can understand. Please take part in the FREE 5-day workshop to get a sense of the video and workbook quality, prior to purchase.

Due to the style of the course (with pre-recorded lessons), you can start at any time, and on any schedule! The live lessons are not only recorded for your convenience, but they are also on a rotating schedule, so if you miss one, you can access it the next time it runs.

Absolutely! The letter sounds are taught slowly, at a beginner level. Even with little English ability, students will be able to follow along, listen, repeat, and learn!

I sure am! I maintain my certification through the British Columbia Teachers Federation (Canada).

A custom certificate will be available for you at the end of the class. Simply print on card stock and handwrite their name! My signature will be at the bottom!

Yes! I am super excited to offer the next step to the Phonics to Fluency, soon! This will go more into depth on tricky words, vowel and consonant digraphs, sight words, sentence writing, and reading comprehension! Be sure to stay subscribed, to get. notifications!
