Momentum, delivered every Monday.

Each week your child will build on the previous week so that skills grow stronger. They'll read beautiful eBooks, complete fun skills lessons, and get guided fluency practice. There's no guessing, no scrambling, no wondering what's next.

Aligned with school so every week counts

Every lesson and eBook reinforces what your child is learning in school, and prepares them for what's next.

 

No more wondering if you're working on the right things. No more waiting for school feedback to know where they stand.

Research-Based, Grade-Specific Skill Progression

Our program has precisely matched the skills your child is expected to master for their grade, in that month. 

 

You’ll have a clear, dependable system to keep them on track and moving forward — week after week, skill after skill.

Four Parts. 
One Complete
Weekly System.

Each week, your child gets more than "reading practice". They get a full system built by experts--delivered on any device and designed to work together.

 

Guided Reading - eBooks that actually teach comprehension

 

Skills Lessons - decoding and comprehension practice that sticks

 

Fluency Training - short sessions that make reading smooth and enjoyable

 

Skills Checkup - quick weekly reviews to keep progress on track

 

That's what makes Raising Skilled Readers different: everything works together, week after week, to build lasting skills and confidence.

Not Just Reading. Real Comprehension, Real Progress.

Every book is part of a guided reading module—designed with before, during, and after reading activities that build comprehension step by step. 

 

That means your child isn't just sounding out words. They're learning to predict, connect, retell, and truly understand what they read. 

 

And because success is built-in, book after book, kids finish each session smiling—confident, capable, and ready for the next story.

Stress-free reading support.

Fluency: The Hidden Roadblock

Without fluency, reading is slow and choppy—and kids burn out before they ever enjoy a story. Our fluency sessions fix that. Each week, your child: 

  1. Hears fluent reading modeled.
  2. Reads along with guidance.
  3. Reads independently—with confidence.

In just 10-15 minutes, they bridge the gap between "I can read the words" and "I enjoy the story." And that's when reading clicks: confidence grows, comprehension opens up, and even you can finally relax.

Starts at just $7.25 a week!
