If your district requires a certain phonics curriculum, don't worry, Niepodam. I'm not about to tell you to throw it out.

Andrea has to follow a very specific one. She's a reading and dyslexia specialist, she's locked in, and she uses the Science of Reading Formula right alongside it every single day.

Here's why, and it's the difference between the two:

Your curriculum tells you what to teach.

The Formula shows you how to teach it so it actually sticks.

Because knowing the "what" still leaves you standing up there wondering:

What do I even say to introduce this? What order do these go in? Is this random activity I found actually helping anyone?

That's the part the Formula does for you:

✔️ It hands you the exact words to say for every skill, so you're never guessing in front of the room.

✔️ It stacks the skills in the order reading actually develops, so every reader in your room has a next step.

✔️ It turns the practice into games and reading passages built on the skill you just taught, so students use what they just learned instead of something random.

✔️ It maps the whole year, so you always know what comes next and why.

(That repeated practice is what locks a skill in for good, and your students will think they're just playing.)

Your curriculum and The Science of Reading Formula aren't competing. One picks the destination and the other one drives.

Back to Andrea…

Before the Formula, she had cabinets stuffed with materials, and she'd burn time just trying to remember what she even had or whether it fit what she was teaching.

Now it's all in the vault, and she can find it in about four seconds. She pulls what she needs by skill or by grade level to back up her curriculum and off she goes!

Here's how she put it: "The vault is very well organized, and it really helps save me time. I would tell any teacher, this will save you HOURS."

You’ve had the "what" this whole time. This is the "how" nobody ever handed you.

Membership is $29 a month, and this is the first time enrollment has opened since January. It closes this Sunday at 11:59 pm Pacific.
