We have a smarter approach to teaching literacy. We know how the English alphabet code REALLY works. We teach the sounds of our language as the foundation of the code, not ‘the alphabet.’ And it makes all the difference for beginning readers.

Tools and Training for Literacy Instruction

For the past eight years, we’ve been developing curriculum for beginning readers. With engaging, developmentally appropriate instruction, we’ve helped hundreds of local kids gain success with education, and with life.

In our mission to help more children gain crucial reading and writing skills, Reading For Life is pleased to offer tools and training to teachers and homeschooling parents.

With our innovative and effective approach, we make learning - and teaching - logical and straightforward at each step of the way.
