How Our Books Work

Our Approach

Read more
01

Skills that build naturally

Each lesson revisits sounds from earlier lessons while introducing the next one.

02

Color that does a job

Every lesson has its own color, and the target pattern is colored on every page, so it's easy to find and easy to spot.

03

Practice, not padding

No oversized pictures or empty space. Every page gives learners something to do.

04

Made for guided teaching

Introduce the sound, then use the workbook for guided and independent practice. Teacher notes and a full answer key included.
