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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

In early grades, kids need to crack the code. Our weekly lessons build decoding skills—sound patterns, blends, and high-frequency words—so young readers move quickly from effortful sounding-out to real reading.
By grades 3-5, the focus shifts: students practice comprehension strategies, use context and word structure to unlock meaning, and tackle nonfiction texts where understanding matters most.
Every lesson is short, interactive, and connected to real reading. That's why week after week, skills don't just get practiced—they stick.
Your child's reading, for less than $1/day.

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:
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!

You don't have to wonder if it's working. Our built-in skills checks show you exactly what your child can do each week—so you can see growth with your own eyes.
Each short check is quick and low-stress for kids, but powerful for parents: clear proof they're building the right skills, right on schedule.
And as their progress adds up, so does their confidence—giving you peace of mind that they're always on track.
Tiny daily investment, big reading gains.

We are the Institute of Reading Development. For more than five decades, we've taught reading skills to over three million students—in partnership with families and over 200 universities across the country.
In all these years, one thing became clear:
Parents want to help, but they haven't been set up to succeed.
That's why we created Raising Skilled Readers — a complete system that meets kids where they are, builds real skills week-by-week, and gives parents a role they can actually enjoy.
With Raising Skilled Readers, you're not guessing — you're stepping into something that works.

It means giving your child:
✅ The skills to succeed—not just in school, but in life
✅ The confidence to keep going, even when reading feels hard

And for you?
✅ No more guessing what to do
✅ No more battles before bed
✅ No more wondering if you’re doing enough
Just steady, visible progress—week after week—and the quiet confidence of knowing your child is on the right path.
Is this live or self-paced?
This program is student-paced. No Zoom calls, no scheduling stress. Just log in when it works for your family, and follow the week’s guided plan.
What happens after I sign up?
You’ll get immediate access to your parent portal and your child’s first lesson. Just log in, follow the week’s path, and start building momentum. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
Do I have to sit and teach? I'm not a teacher.
Nope—and that’s exactly the point. We handle the instruction. You’re there to support and celebrate—not to plan, prep, or lead.
What if my child isn't into reading?
The program is designed to work for every kind of reader—whether your child resists reading, enjoys it but needs structure, or is already on track and ready to grow. With the right pacing and support, every child can build skill and confidence.
My child already gets reading help at school. Will this still help?
Yes. This doesn’t replace school—it strengthens it. We fill the gaps, reinforce what they’re learning, and help it all stick.
My child already has a lot going on. Will this feel like too much?
Not at all. The program takes just 60–75 minutes a week—and it’s flexible. You can spread that time across several short sessions to fit your schedule. No daily grind. No homework battles. Just steady progress, your way.
What if we miss a week or fall behind?
Totally fine. The program is flexible and forgiving. You can pause, skip, or pick up at any point. Progress happens at your pace.
Is this a subscription or a one-time payment?
It’s a subscription—with full control. Choose a plan (monthly, quarterly, or annual), and cancel anytime right from your account.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes—anytime. Your access continues through your billing cycle, and you won’t be charged again. No hoops. No hidden rules.
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the digital nature of the product, we do not offer refunds. If you have questions about whether or not this offer is for you, email us—we’d be happy to help.
Is there a guarantee?
We take pride in our proven track record of success helping millions of kids become confident readers. But because success requires consistent effort on your part, we cannot formally guarantee specific results. That’s the truth—and we want to be clear about it.
