Toddlers CAN Read

You can teach your kid to read.

Use a proven, screen-free method to help your child become a strong, independent reader in as little as five minutes a day.

START TEACHING

Parents make the best teachers.

Our educational system, with its unreasonable student-teacher ratios, outdated curricula, and chronic underfunding isn't set up to support early literacy.

The solution? It's you. Learning skyrockets in one-on-one environments and through play, which means parents and caregivers are best-positioned to teach their own kids. And it's easier than you think.

Simple, 3-Step Process

No matter their age or ability, all kids learn how to read the same way.

Quick Skill-Building

It takes just 5 minutes a day of your focused attention.

Play-Based Approach

You can use your child's interests to keep them excited to learn.

These parents did it, and so can you.

My son is autistic. When he was in kindergarten, he couldn’t read and his teacher told me autistic kids are usually behind their peers by a couple of years. In the middle of his kindergarten year, I found your program and immediately started to apply it with my son. I swear it took only one month and he started to read. Now he loves to read every day!

We started your program last September with NO reading practice before, aside from learning the alphabet. I am mind-blown by my son’s progress and the fact that I taught him how to read! I could not have done this without you. 🥹 🤍

Reading was a worry when I decided to home school. But so happy to have found your courses. Now I know when my kids are older, they too can learn … at a young age. The joy seeing your child read is magical.

I have a 2-year-old and we have been using this method for teaching letter sounds. I cannot thank Spencer enough for this technique and the support! We are halfway through the alphabet doing letter sounds, and it blows my mind each day that my daughter can learn this, and most of all that I have learned how to teach her.
