Product description
A complete, step-by-step system for teaching a child to read with confidence. Easy-for-Me™ Teaching Kit 1 provides everything you need to build a strong foundation in reading. This carefully designed program integrates phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, sight word mastery, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and writing into one cohesive plan. Instead of relying on guessing or memorization alone, every skill is explicitly taught and intentionally sequenced—so children understand how reading works from the very beginning. Available Formats Physical – Physical teaching cards (5.5” x 4.25”) and physical books Download – Printable PDF files of the cards and books Both formats include printable PDF files of all resources and assessments. How It Works Teaching Kit 1 includes 77 self-paced lessons , each designed to take approximately 20–30 minutes. Lessons are clearly written so parents and teachers can confidently implement them without specialized training. The program focuses on six essential components of reading: Phonemic awareness through structured auditory practice Phonics taught through meaningful sound spellings High-frequency word mastery Fluency through patterned practice and connected reading Comprehension through visual and sequencing activities Writing to reinforce and solidify learning Each new skill connects directly to previously learned material, helping children build strong visual and body memory for lasting retention. Program Structure Section 1: Building the Foundation Children learn why and how reading works before adding complexity. With a small set of tools, they begin decoding and reading real books quickly. By Lesson 20: 8 sounds and 4 words mastered, ready to read the first 2 Set A books. By Lesson 30: 8 sounds and 23 sight words mastered, able to read 7 Set A books. Section 2: Expanding Skills Students add new sounds, blend words, practice writing, build vocabulary, and read additional books. Because they already understand the reading process, progress accelerates. Section 3: Completing the Journey The final section introduces remaining sounds and the last 5 SnapWords® from List A, culminating in reading the final 7 books in Easy-for-Me™ Children’s Readers Set A. A clear roadmap. A multisensory approach. A confident reader.
