Learn to Read Phonics Lessons

Teach Your Kid to Read is a phonics-first learn-to-read app built for the way reading actually gets learned — a parent and child, side by side. Each short lesson teaches your child the letter sounds that build words, and gives you the simple corrections you need to help along the way. Built by a husband-and-wife team homeschooling four kids — our third learned to read with this app. WHY PHONICS, NOT MEMORIZATION Your child learns to decode new words instead of memorizing them, so they can sound out words they have never seen before. That is how reading actually works: mapping letters to sounds, one at a time. No guessing from pictures, no endless sight-word flashcards — real blending, real decoding, real reading. WHAT'S INSIDE • 50 carefully sequenced phonics lessons, each built around one new sound or spelling pattern • Short instructional videos so your child sees and hears every new letter sound • Hands-on activities — Listen and Say, Balloon Pop, Sound Blending, Build Word, Picture Match, and more • 49 decodable stories that grow from 2-page beginnings to 10-page readers, so new skills go straight into real reading • CVC words, consonant blends, digraphs, vowel teams — 79 phonics patterns and sounds in all • Review lessons that revisit earlier sounds so nothing gets left behind • A celebration after every completed lesson to keep motivation high MADE FOR PARENTS AND KIDS TOGETHER You are not handing your child a screen and walking away. Each session is about 10-15 minutes and structured so you can sit beside your child, prompt them, and help when they get stuck. The app shows you the right correction every time — even if you have never taught anyone to read before — so you both build confidence together. WHO IT'S FOR • Preschool and pre-K children learning their letter sounds for the first time • Kindergarten and first-grade kids ready to blend sounds into words • Homeschool families who want a complete, structured reading curriculum • Struggling readers who have been guessing at words and need a fresh start with systematic phonics • Grandparents, tutors, and caregivers teaching a child to read NO ADS. NO BEHAVIORAL TRACKING. A quiet, focused learning space for you and your child. PRICING Lessons 1 and 2 are free.
