A Phonics Curriculum which empowers
...beginning, reluctant, struggling and gifted readers.
Making Reading Heavenly provides you with the tools you need to enable students to find success when reading and spelling. This program has fused many different educational programs together to create this system. We are confident that this strategy will be successful with any child you are working with who has an average or above IQ.
* Making Reading Heavenly takes a different approach to teaching reading and spelling. Thee Making Reading Heavenly curriculum provides rules for the child so that weeks down the road the child can spell many words correctly based on an application of rules and syllable types rather than pure memorization.
Another benefit of this program is that when you create a student who can spell, typically you create a good reader! When you read a word you rent it, and when you spell a word you own it!
The beauty about this approach is that you do not need to purchase some expensive reading series. We have tried to make this program very inexpensive for both schools and home-school families. You can use books from the public library or from a free website called: readworks.org!
Making Reading Heavenly is a successful program that really works, because it is a program that engages the students. One other thing that I need to mention is that this program will work for learners of all ages.
Our newest addition that we are very excited about, is Writing With Rhythm! This multi-sensory handwriting program uses a metronome beat to teach and reinforce fluent handwriting. The manuscript portion includes whole-body video links so young learners learn while moving! The cursive portion provides skywriting links allowing students to practice forming letters while watching! Both of our programs incorporate "Squiggles". These pre-writing forms are labeled to enable teachers to use verbal prompts if the student is struggling. If you would be interested in piloting one of our handwriting programs for free until the end of the 2025 school year,

*We have had many inquiries as to whether our program is a scientific, researched-based program. Making Reading Heavenly is a collection of Scientifically Research-Based principles, practices, strategies, and content.
*We do consider Making Reading Heavenly a program that employs promising practices based on Orton-Gillingham strategies. In April, 2014 the Iowa Legislature passed Senate File 2319 recognizing Dyslexia as a learning disability in Iowa. Orton-Gillingham is the suggested educational method University of Iowa doctors recommend when a child is diagnosed with dyslexia. The foundation of Making Reading Heavenly and its techniques are based on Orton-Gillingham instructional strategies.
*We feel this program is the best choice for all students, as not only does it allow the struggling reader to be successful, it also allows a gifted child to advance independently at a boundless pace. Making Reading Heavenly might also be a curriculum to consider if your school has a growing ELL population, as several schools across Iowa have found this program has given them great success with ELL students.
