ReadingDoctor® is an evidence-based program that helps children to crack the code in written language!

Our teaching tools use the most effective way of teaching kids to read according to scientific research (this method is called synthetic phonics). Reading Doctor® is designed to strengthen crucial skills that facilitate reading and spelling acquisition, such as phonemic awareness, letter-sound knowledge, blending, segmentation, decoding and sight word recognition.

Most importantly, Reading Doctor® is evidence based, meaning that there is scientific research demonstrating that it really works!
