Have you ever taught a phonics pattern on Monday, watched your students nail it in the lesson ... then pulled out a decodable passage later in the week and watched them stumble over the very same pattern?
You know you taught it. You know they got it. But something between the lesson and the real reading didn't stick.
Here's what's happening.
Knowing a sound-spelling in isolation once or twice is not the same as reading it automatically. To move from "I know this pattern" to "I can read words with this pattern without thinking about it," students need repeated practice with the same patterns in different formats.
Some students get there after a handful of exposures. Others need dozens.
That's why we need to build in lots of repeated, varied practice with the phonics patterns we teach.
For $15 (regularly $54), you get Roll & Read, Buddy Spelling games, Follow the Path reading games, and Four in a Row activities, all tied to specific phonics patterns so students get the repeated practice they need to read those patterns automatically.
We are currently rebranding from The Measured Mom, which was our business name for 13 years.
Because of that, you will still see themeasuredmom.com on many of our resources.
We hope to complete the entire transition by the end of 2026.
