You're part of the instruction

What happens between sessions matters. These routines and explainers help you support your reader without turning the kitchen table into a battlefield.

At-home routines that work

The 15-minute nightly routine

Five minutes of sound drill, five minutes of decodable text, five minutes of reading aloud to your child. Consistency beats duration.

Sound it, don't guess it

When your reader stalls, prompt with “what sound does this part make?” instead of “look at the picture.” Decoding is the skill we're building.

Track the wins

Keep a small notebook of words conquered each week. Visible progress rebuilds the confidence that struggle erodes.

Read above their level, aloud

Comprehension and vocabulary grow when you read rich books to them, even while decoding is still developing.
