Some reading skills take focused, targeted practice. Others need repetition in ways that don't feel like more work.
That's why I'm creating both: Look-Alike Words, a structured workbook to help children stop guessing and read what's on the page, and Would You Rather? Decodable Reading Games, which makes putting those skills to use a whole lot more fun. Both are coming soon.
