Where Your Peace of Mind Meets Your Child’s Reading Confidence
You’ve tried flashcards, alphabet songs, and printable worksheets—but your child still struggles to recognize letters and match them to sounds.

A Revolutionary Approach to Early Literacy
You may be wondering...
What if I don’t want the religious part? Or what if I just want a solid phonics program without faith woven in?
I hear you. That’s why Reading by Design Phase One gives you the freedom to choose. Every lesson teaches the alphabet, letters, and sounds with the same proven system—but you decide whether to include the optional faith-based activities.
If you want Jesus woven into learning, it’s here for you. If you prefer to keep lessons purely academic, you can do that too. Either way, your child will gain the same confidence, structure, and mastery of letters and sounds.
This isn’t about forcing a method—it’s about giving your family the tools you need for success, in the way that feels right for you.
Why Reading by Design Stands Out for Parents?
When you’re trying to teach your child to read, the last thing you need is a program that leaves you scrambling for missing pieces. Many preschool programs give you a guide or outline—but then you’re left to hunt down extra worksheets, activities, and resources. That adds more stress and more hours of planning.
Reading by Design is different. Everything you need is already included—step-by-step phonics lessons, hands-on games, printables, activities, and even optional faith-based components. No piecing things together. No late-night searches for “alphabet worksheets.” Just one complete, done-for-you path to success.
Â
What About Other Christian Curricula?
Christian programs like Abeka are known for strong academics, but they don’t go deep enough in phonics. Instead of teaching children how letters and sounds work together, they often rely on memorization.
For a child struggling with letter or sound recognition, this creates frustration and guessing—not confidence.
Reading by Design is different. It builds a strong phonics foundation first, so children learn to decode words—not just memorize them. Research shows this foundation leads to better fluency, comprehension, and lifelong confidence in reading.
Â
The Perfect Partner for Any Parent
Already using another program? Reading by Design slips right in as the missing piece. If your main curriculum doesn’t go deep enough into phonics, this fills the gap—helping your child finally grasp letters, sounds, and the building blocks of reading.
