Reading Tricks

How it works

A familiar face, walking you through it.

Each day you will watch a qualified teacher explain how to teach your child, or student, with reading “tricks” or tools that we have personally and successfully used to help others learn to read and write. After a few introductions, and with your favorite drink or snack in hand, you can enjoy a familiar face walking you through the steps and helping you understand the tricky parts of the English language and how a young mind can decipher them.

Teaching learners who learn differently — people with learning differences, learning disabilities, dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADD, or any of the many other labels for those who find reading difficult (at least 20% of the population), can be an art. Despite the challenges, the persistence and patience needed, and the slowness of the process of learning to read, write or speak better, we can teach you how. Be patient, persistent, and positive; you can do this!!!

With our course you will:

  1. Watch a daily video about what you are teaching.
  2. Read the online lesson plan for the day.
  3. Teach your student, son, or daughter.
