The Complete Learn to Read Program for Kids with Dyslexia: A Step-by-Step Phonics Workbook with Guided Lessons and Decodable Stories

Give Your Child the Reading Breakthrough They Deserve — Built on the Same Methods Used by Professional Dyslexia Therapists.

If your child has been diagnosed with dyslexia — or you've noticed they struggle with sounding out words, confuse similar letters, or lose confidence in the classroom — The Complete Learn to Read Program for Kids with Dyslexia was written for them. Developed by Phoebe Head, Ed. S., a certified dyslexia therapist with a Master's in Dyslexia Therapy and a Specialist Degree in Reading, this 212-page workbook is one of the most comprehensive dyslexia reading tools available for home use — delivering the same structured, systematic approach used in one-on-one therapy sessions.

Based on Orton-Gillingham materials and methods and the Science of Reading, this program gives dyslexic learners what they need most: explicit instruction, systematic progression, repetition, and multisensory engagement. It's the rare set of dyslexia tools for kids that parents can actually pick up and use — no teaching background required.

How to Use This Book:

• Spend just 5–10 minutes a day, side by side with your child
• Complete 1–3 lessons per week — lessons do not have to be done in one sitting
• Each lesson builds on the previous one with review, repetition, and built-in progression
• Follow your child's pace — break lessons into shorter sessions if needed

What Your Child Will Learn:

• Section I – Stepping Stones to Reading (Units 1–3): Short vowels, common digraphs (ck, ng, nk, oo, ee, qu), and long vowel silent-e words — plus foundational phonological awareness skills: rhyming, word awareness, syllables, alliteration, and onset-rime
• Section II – Walking the Path to Reading (Units 4–6): Advanced digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh), suffixes (-s, -es, -ed), and "bossy r" vowel combinations (ur, ir, er, or, ar) — with phonemic awareness: sound isolation, segmenting, deleting, adding, and substituting phonemes

Every Lesson Includes:

• Phonological & Phonemic Awareness — oral exercises to build sound sense before decoding
• Decoding Practice with Code Marks — tap, blend, code, and read using diacritical marks (breve, macron, slash, underline, arch)
• Scooping Phrases & Sentence Practice — builds fluency and reading confidence
• Spelling Practice — reinforce each phonics pattern through writing
• Heart Words — irregular high-frequency words taught through orthographic mapping
• "Make It" Multisensory Crafts — hands-on activities using common household materials
• Kinesthetic Movement Routines — movement + chant to activate auditory and kinesthetic learning
• "Write On!" Writing Prompts — low-stress quick writes that build confidence and expression
• Decodable Passages at the end of each unit — stories built from every skill learned in that unit
