Hey, I'm Melanie. I am wife to Bill, mom to three hard-working teenagers, and have been teaching wonderful 4-7 year-old students to read! Reading God’s Word, the Bible, gives me hope and grounds me with peace in a world filled with chaos. As a beginning teacher, I taught kids to read using the wrong approach.

Tired of teaching kids to guess what words they were reading by having them look at the beginning letter of a word and the accompanying picture left me feeling defeated as a teacher. My students when they still struggled to read simple leveled books.

I finally realized that if I was going to teach kids to be confident readers, there had to be a more focus on a skills and phonics-based approach to reading instruction.

I discovered a sequential, step-by-step phonics-based approach to teaching kids to read . An instructional model that teaches kids to read simple to more complex texts, phonics skill, by phonics skill. An approach to teaching kids to read that I will forever use with beginning readers. And I'm ready to share it with you!
