Traditional Reading Programs Fail Many Children
By 4th grade, up to 70% of children are not reading at grade level. Most reading programs skip over important skills and don’t engage the whole brain, body and learning strengths.
Those programs work for the 30% of the population who are natural readers, but they don’t work for everyone.
It’s not your fault or your child’s fault. They have just never been taught to read in a way that works for their learning strengths.
Reading is an Emotional Topic For Many Parents
Whether or not you yourself had challenges learning to read, it can be heartbreaking to watch your child struggle with this important milestone.
It’s common to feel
-
Frustration that your child’s school isn’t helping them.
-
Guilt that you’re somehow failing your child.
-
Worry your child will struggle in school and life.
-
Sadness that your child might never love reading like you do.
-
Overwhelmed because you don’t know what to do.
Open Reading Engages the Brain AND Body to Match the Different Ways People Learn.
We’ve been teaching, testing, and refining these principles for 40 years. This method has been used with over 100k children in classrooms across the US, and has been proven to be a more effective methodology for children who struggle learning to read. No other reading method teaches ALL of the skills or builds skill by skill in a progressive manner like Open Reading does.
What Makes Open Reading
Different
Engaging and Fun
Using games, problem-solving activities, and body movements we engage the whole child in learning.
Comprehensive
We start at the beginning, helping children build foundational, pre-reading skills to set them up for success.
Easy for Parents to Use
All you need is the Learn to Read Fletcher’s Place Game Book and access to the internet to watch the free video episodes.
About Open Reading
Open Reading was founded by Judy Kranzler to provide parents and teachers with tools to help their children learn to read.
The Open Reading learn-to-read method has been used at home by hundreds of families and in classrooms all across the US.
We believe every child deserves to be taught in a way that works for them.
Open Reading Is NOT an APP
We know you don't want to just sit your kid in front of a screen and hope for the best like most non-school programs. We use screen-based technology to make this program accessible and convenient, but the physical and musical activities and games are the secret sauce that engages children more fully.
“I’ve used Open Reading for years in my classroom. Even when our district switched curriculum I kept mine as a secret learn-to-read weapon.”
