TIPS™ is a simple revolution in teaching young kids to read. We provide clear guidance in every encounter with every word, so your child builds the skills they need to be successful. The method is grounded in recent research that describes exactly how kids learn to read and why this process proves so challenging for so many students. 

Bad English

Avoid thousands of hours of struggle. Learn with TIPS™.

If you have ever struggled to explain why the O in DO and GO make different sounds, why the K in KNOW is silent, or what sound to make for an A in ABOUT, AIR, SMALL, AND, & AGE, we feel you. You are right. English makes no sense from a child’s perspective. It’s incredibly hard to teach, for parents and teachers alike.

Joy in Reading

Teach fearless decoding with constant success

Every encounter with English in TIPS™ is clear. Children learn that they can tackle decoding of any material presented to them. This builds tremendous confidence and capability in early readers. The markings enable students to decode on their own. Through the process of repeated decoding they develop sight-word mastery of high-frequency words naturally.  

Immersive Learning

Reading World brings TIPS™ to your home.

TIPS™ is typically introduced by teachers in a school environment. It takes at least 6 weeks of dedicated effort to see the light bulb go off and children begin to rapidly improve. 

Parents wanting to bring TIPS™ into their home can do so in a variety of ways, the easiest of which is to download and play Reading World. The first 3 levels are completely free and provide an early introduction into our system.
