We are very passionate about teaching reading and we are always looking for ways to make it easier and more enjoyable. It has to work for students AND the teacher.

'Teaching Reading for the Beginner Reader' is our attempt to create an efficient routine for those daily 10-12 minute guided reading lessons. It has been formulated after hundreds of hours observing trainees and experienced teachers implementing guided reading lessons in the first three years of schooling.
