The parent-friendly guide to understanding how the alphabet actually works.
You know your ABCs. But were you ever taught what those letters actually do?
If you've ever been told to help your struggling reader "sound it out" and thought, "Okay…but how?"... this guide is your MUST HAVE.
Most of us learned to memorize words. We weren't taught the code underneath them.
So I took my viral Reteaching the Alphabet Instagram series and turned it into one 70 page, easy-to-reference guide you can actually keep.
Inside you'll learn:
🔤 A–Z: The sounds and patterns each letter represents
🧩 The patterns: Silent letters, vowel teams, digraphs, doubled consonants, silent E, suffixes, and more
📚 Words to read & spell: See each pattern in action
👩🏫 Reading Specialist Notes: The stuff I wish someone had explained to me sooner
🗓️ When Would I Teach This? A general guide to when these skills are typically introduced
🔑 Key Takeaways: The most important thing to remember from each letter
This isn't a phonics curriculum.
It's the "Ohhh…NOW I understand" guide for parents who were never taught how the reading code works.
And you don't have to become a reading specialist to help your child.
You just need someone to finally explain the stuff nobody explained to you.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1: Can't I just get all of this on Instagram for free?
Sort of, yes. 😂
You can scroll back through my feed almost one calendar year, find 26 separate posts, save them, and hope Instagram doesn't refresh your feed before you find the one you wanted.
Or you can have it all in one place. Where you can pull it up in your email and search when your child gets stuck.
This guide takes the entire A–Z series and add more advice, tips, and guidance that those posts.
Q2: Why is it only available for four days?
Because I've learned parents are busy and if there is no deadline, it doesn't get done.
The guide is being offered as a limited-time launch so you can make a decision while it's fresh and actually get started.
Cart closes Saturday. After that, this resource will not be available in the shop.
Q3: How do I get the guide?
It's a digital download, so nothing will be shipped to you.
After purchasing, you'll receive access to download the guide and can save it to your computer, tablet, or phone. Or print it at home.
Q4: I'm a teacher. Can I get this?
Absolutely! Many teachers have followed this series for their own phonics professional development, and you're welcome to purchase the guide for your personal use.
Please note: Your purchase is for one person only. You may not reproduce, print copies for, or distribute the guide to other teachers, parents, students, or classrooms.
