Reading Head Start Review

Reading Head Start is an award-winning, parent-approved online program that is proven to teach children between the ages of 1 to 9 how to read up to 5 times better. It can even reduce dyslexia. And the method is simple. Instead of teaching children how to memorize words and word shapes, which is how they currently learn to read in schools, this program focuses on the foundations of the English language. This allows children to learn how to actually read and how to read better. And if you still aren’t convinced your child is falling behind in reading or that the current way reading is taught in schools, studies show that 25 million kids can’t read proficiently.  The worst part is that it isn’t a surprise. The educational system knows that children are naturally falling behind in reading and despite the rest of the curriculum being updated over the years, the way reading is taught has remained the same. Well, an English teacher for over 14 years is here to change that by teaching kids the right way with Reading Head Start.

What is Reading Head Start?

Reading Head Start is an online program that teaches children how to read based on a proven method that can improve a child’s reading up to 5 times while also eliminating dyslexia. With this program, it focuses on teaching children the foundations of the English language, so children can learn the individual letters and how they change when paired with other letters or added or subtracted from different words. For example, it teaches children why and how “bit” changes to “bite” – an entirely different sound. With this proven method, children learn how to read the letters, and then sentences, and then passages, short stories and more.  It includes over 200 reading lessons that are all systematically laid out, so children can learn how to read and continue to improve on their reading moving forward – and have fun while doing so.

The program also includes lesson plans for the parents and teachers incorporating this proven method in their homes and/or classroom, complete with all types of activities and resources. I’ll get into specifics in just a moment but for now, here’s a quick look at what you receive:
