Helping Your Child Finally Understand Reading, Spelling, and Writing

Reading & Fluency

Students practice reading with support so they can apply what they’ve learned–building accuracy, fluency, and confidence.

Students discover how spelling patterns carry meaning–not just sound. For example, the <w> in two helps signal meaning “two or double.” Other words with an initial tw pattern share a historical connection in meaning.

  • twin

  • twice

  • twist

Comb also contains a silent letter. Have you ever wondered why there is a <b> in comb? The <b> preserves the spelling and is needed in related words.

  • combine

  • combination

Marker letters or silent letters are a feature - not a mistake.

Your child will stop memorizing and start understanding.

They will begin to understand how words are built – and why they are spelled the way they are.

This type of instruction sets them up for long-term success.

This is the difference between guessing… and knowing.
