The most important skill your students will ever learn
A scientifically proven method for teaching every student in your Montessori class how to read.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You need a reading program for your class, like, yesterday…
You know that everyday a child in your class can’t read is a missed opportunity for them to build confidence and become independent.
You need a program that is comprehensive and ready to use on day one for every student in your class.
You have no idea where to start…
Phonemic Awareness? Linguistic Phonics? Orthographic Mapping? Speech to Print?
There are so many opinions on how to teach reading, and most programs aren’t even made for the Montessori classroom.
And now you need a new program based on “the science of reading,” and you have no time to do all that research yourself.
And you don’t want to fail your students with programs that don’t work.
You have a franken-program that has bits and pieces of various programs that “kind of” work together.
You need a program that will support both your emergent readers and your remedial readers.

What does evidence-based reading instruction look like?
Teaching children to read doesn’t have to be complicated or take years. The Rhyme and Reason Reading Program is efficient, stripping away activities that don’t directly help with decoding skills. These are the four basic steps:
Phonemic Awareness
Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate the individual sounds in words. The word ‘dog’ is made of the three sounds /d – o – g/. Reading instruction starts with sound games that help the students learn the sounds of English.
Sound to Symbol
Once the sounds of English can be isolated, the student connects each sound to a letter. In Montessori classrooms this usually done with the Sandpaper Letters.
Write a Word
Break the sounds of a word apart and write the symbols for those sounds.
Read a Word
Spelling and reading are transferrable skills. In fact, learning to spell decreases the time required to learn reading by half, and the reading skill is more stable than reading instruction alone.
The Scope and Sequence
The Rhyme and Reason Reading Program is developmentally-appropriate and self-paced, so that you can help all bring all readers up to grade level. Let’s dive into the program more fully.
