Are you ready to go from confused to confident when teaching your child to read?
You CAN teach your child at home when you follow a step-by-step plan created by a certified teacher who's here to help!
P.L.A.Y. QUICK START
is the ONLY online course that includes a step-by-step curriculum for teaching your child to read AND videos of me introducing each alphabet letter to your child
Does this sound like you?
- You've googled "How do I teach my child to read?" because you're not sure where to start
- You want your child to be set up for success, but you're afraid of teaching them the wrong way
- Your child might know their ABCs, but they can't seem to make the jump to reading words...what's the missing piece?!
- You want to prioritize learning through PLAY without spending hours lesson planning
- Oh, and you're wondering how to fit this into your already jam-packed schedule...who has time for this?!
If this sounds like you, then you're in the RIGHT place!
P.L.A.Y. Quick Start is the step-by-step plan you need to achieve your goal of teaching your child to read at home.
And don't worry, you don't need an education degree to do this...that's what I'm here for!
I created this program so you can take your child from a non-reader to a STRONG reader in about 10 - 20 minutes a day...
...that's the same amount of time as an episode of their favorite show!
What will your child learn in this course?
- How to orally blend and segment 2- and 3-sound words
- All 26 alphabet letters (name, sound, animal keyword + sign language, uppercase & lowercase)
- How to read and spell 2- and 3-sound words
Watch this 4-year old read a decodable book with ease!
Just imagine...
- Your child walking into kindergarten with the confidence only a strong reader has
- Having a glowing parent-teacher conference because your child has exceeded all of their benchmarks (and their teacher is super impressed!)
- The joy on your child's face the first time they read a book on their own (they'll be so proud & want to call Grandma to tell her all about it!)
- Your child developing a love of reading while you get precious one-on-one time with them to play and learn together!
- Sleeping peacefully at night knowing you're teaching your child according to the Science of Reading (with the help of a certified teacher & reading specialist!)
All of this is possible with P.L.A.Y. Quick Start!
This course is based on my unique framework for teaching reading called P.L.A.Y.
P.L.A.Y. stands for:
- P: Phonological & Phonemic Awareness
- L: (Oral) Language
- A: Alphabetic Principle & Print Knowledge
- Y: Yet...the Power of a Growth Mindset
In this course, you'll learn about each area of P.L.A.Y. and how they work together for reading success!
You'll also learn about my proven 3-phase system that will get your child reading even BEFORE they learn all of their alphabet letters:
- Hear the sounds in spoken words (Phonemic Awareness)
- Match those sounds to printed letters (Letter Sounds)
- Read and spell words with those letters (Blending and Segmenting)
Let's take a closer look at what's included:
That's 46 lessons and 4 hours of video content!
Enroll in P.L.A.Y. Quick Start and make things easier on yourself!
These features make implementing this course a breeze...
...so you won't have to spend another minute looking for reading help online.

You might be thinking...
"This all sounds great, but...won't my child learn to read in school?"
I understand where you're coming from! I'm a teacher and so are many of my friends, and I LOVE elementary schools! But here's the truth...
67% of America's 4th graders are NOT proficient in reading according to standardized tests in 2022.
And of those kids, 37% couldn't even read at a basic level.
Research-backed practices for teaching reading are still making their way into schools…but not all schools are supportive of this switch.
As a parent, the choice is YOURS.
You can choose to let the school handle your child's reading education...
...or you can put yourself in the driver's seat and make sure they learn correctly at home.
If you're ready to...
- Say goodbye to confusion about teaching your child to read
AND
- Say hello to clarity and a step-by-step plan...
...then now's the time!
This course is PERFECT for you to teach your child at home...no teaching degree required!
Don't wait...your child can learn to read this year, and you'll avoid the regret that comes with not taking action sooner.
Check out the sound mats in action with this 4 year old...he spells like a pro!

Meet the teacher behind the course!
I'm a certified teacher with my master's degree in Early Childhood Education.
I have over 15 years experience teaching kids from ages 2-8, both in-person and online, and I spend my days researching the best ways to teach kids to read (it's my passion!)
I'm also a wife and mom of two kids. My son just finished kindergarten, but back when he was 3, I was frustrated that I couldn't find the right program to teach him to read in a fun, hands-on way at home.
After lots of trial & error, I figured out the BEST way to teach him at home, and my son started his first day of kindergarten feeling confident and proud because of his strong reading skills!
Now I've taken all that I learned and turned it into this course for YOU!
I truly believe teaching your child to read is the most valuable gift you will ever give them...not to mention they learn the MOST from you!
You know them BEST!
Let's combine my knowledge of teaching reading with your love & passion for your child to make reading feel like MAGIC!

FAQs
1. What if I have no background in education? Can I really do this?
YES! Absolutely!
You don't need any experience teaching reading to complete this course...that's what I'm here for!

2. I'm worried this course will contradict what my child is learning in school.
This course is based on the most up-to-date information about how kids learn to read, so everything in it will align with your child's teacher (as long as they are up-to-date with teaching reading correctly)!
If your child's teacher is not teaching reading correctly, you should discuss that with your school.
3. Is my child supposed to watch the videos?
That's up to you!
I've included videos of me introducing each alphabet letter.
You can have your child watch me OR you can teach them each letter yourself by using the scripted lesson plans.

This course teaches 26 alphabet letters and 18 high-frequency words.
Your child will learn to read and spell 2-sound words (ex: at, in, it) and 3-sound words (ex: get, but, not).
5. I'm worried my child won't want to work with me at home.
I get it! I homeschooled my son for his 3 year old preschool year, and it wasn't always easy.
BUT...I learned the best ways to work with him and taught him to read that year, which was the greatest gift I could've given him.
Now I'm sharing those tips and strategies with you in the course!
You CAN do this!
