Three questions came in over and over this week, Niepodam, and there's a good chance one of them is yours.

"My district already picked a reading curriculum."

Keep it. You're not throwing anything out, and I'd never ask you to fight your district.

But most reading programs teach skills in an order the research doesn't back, and almost none of them give kids enough practice.

It's like teaching a kid to swim by talking about swimming. You show her a video. You hand her a book. Then class ends and she never gets in the water.

She's heard all about swimming, but she still can't swim.

The Science of Reading Formula is the pool. Your curriculum picks the skill, and the Formula hands you the right order to teach it in and the practice that makes it stick.

"I don't have time to learn something new."

You don't have to learn anything. You open the vault, type in the skill you're teaching this week, and print it.

That's the whole system.

"Will it work for my kids?"

It runs PreK through second grade, so you can start any child exactly where she is and walk her to the next step.

Members are using it with readers above grade level, English language learners, students with dyslexia, and entire special education caseloads.

If your question wasn't one of those three, hit reply and ask me. I'm around tonight!

Enrollment closes TOMORROW NIGHT at 11:59 p.m. Pacific, and the next time it opens is January.
