 From Frustration to Reading Confidence — A Clear Path for Your Child
No more tears over letters. No more guessing at words. With Reading by Design, your child will go from feeling stuck and frustrated to experiencing the joy of real reading success.
Turn Guessing and Struggles Into Confidence and Breakthroughs
✨ What is Reading by Design? ✨
Reading by Design is more than just another phonics program—it’s a complete, step-by-step curriculum designed to turn reading struggles into confidence.
We believe every child deserves the chance to become a joyful, successful reader. That’s why Reading by Design was built as a multi-phase curriculum that grows with your child—moving them from letters and sounds to blending and reading real words.
And here’s the best part...
You don’t need a teaching degree or classroom experience to make this work. Reading by Design was created for parents just like you. With fully scripted lessons, built-in assessments, and easy-to-follow training, you’ll confidently teach your child using Science of Reading–aligned practices that are proven to work.
No guessing.
No gaps.
Just a clear path forward.
This program is unique because it doesn’t assume all children learn the same way. Instead, it uses hands-on, multi-sensory practice—songs, games, movement, writing, and daily review—so every child has a way to connect and succeed.
At its core, Reading by Design gives you:
- A clear roadmap → so you never wonder what to teach next.
- Engaging, low-prep lessons → so reading feels fun, not forced.
- Built-in assessments & supports → so your child never falls through the cracks.
- Optional faith-based elements → so you can weave in Jesus naturally, if you choose.
👉🏽 The result?
Even without a teaching background, you’ll have everything you need to give your child a strong foundation in reading—so they’ll never have to face learning gaps, and you’ll both experience the joy of real reading success.

The Phases of Early Readers
Phase One
Beginning Reader
For children who don’t yet know all their letters and sounds, this phase builds a strong foundation by helping them confidently master the alphabet.
Phase Two
Emergent Reader
For children who know their letters and sounds but struggle to blend them, this phase teaches them to read three- and four-letter words with confidence.
Phase Three
Developing Reader
For children who can read short words but stumble on longer or unfamiliar ones, this phase equips them to decode using spelling rules and read smoothly.
Imagine your child moving from frustration and guessing… to confidently reading with joy.
Imagine yourself no longer second-guessing if you’re teaching the “right way”—because you have a proven roadmap in your hands.
That’s the power of Reading by Design.

Every child’s reading journey is different. Some are still learning letters and sounds. Others are ready to start blending them into real words.
