Teach your struggling reader to sound out words, even if you never learned phonics
Inside Sounds School, you'll learn the exact step-by-step method you can implement in just 5-10 minutes a day without overwhelming your struggling reader.
You know your child can be a reader. But every time you sit down to help, they fight you. They get frustrated. They shut down.
The problem? Reading instruction in schools skips the foundational skill: teaching the actual sounds English uses.
And if no one taught YOU phonics growing up, you're trying to teach something you don't fully understand yourself.
That's not a parenting failure. That's a knowledge gap. And it's fixable.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN...
- the 44 sounds in English (that you should have been taught in school)
- why knowing the sounds is critical
- the simple way to teach those sounds to your child or students
- quick, daily routines to practice reading and spelling sounds

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1: I'm not a teacher. Will I even understand this?
Yes, I do not use any teacher jargon. I use words like sounds, letters, and spelling patterns instead of phonemes, graphemes, and phonograms.
And remember: most teachers haven't had training in this either!
Q2: How long will it take?
The training video is less than 2 hours that you can watch in 10-15 minute chunks.
You'll need to spend 20-30 minutes reading the eBook and printing out materials.
Then plan to spend 5-10 minutes most days working with your children. If you do this consistently and reach out to me when you're stuck, you can expect good progress within the next six months.
Q3: Who is this for?
This is for parents of struggling or beginning readers. The training is meant for adults. The materials, including the bonuses, are meant to be used with children from kindergarten through 5th grade.
Children from Prek to 5th grade, parents of struggling readers, parents who want to prevent reading difficulties, teachers who want to know how to support learners better
Q4: How do I get this?
You will receive an email download immediately. Nothing will ship.
Q5: Why is it so discounted?
Specialized dyslexia and reading intervention ranges from $75-$195/session. I charge $125 for 45 minute sessions. That is out of reach for many working parents. I want this to be accessible to as many families as possible.
It's less than the price of two session with me!
Q6: Why didn't I learn this in school?
That is a long story. You might want to check out the podcast Sold a Story. But the Cliff Notes version...
Cognitive science about reading still hasn't made its way into schools of education in most universities. Reading theory, not reading science, dominates in most curriculum materials.
