🤝 Supporting Classroom Learning

We complement—never replace—your child's classroom instruction

We Work With Teachers, Not Against Them

Your child's teacher is the expert on what your child needs to learn.

READEE is designed to support and reinforce what's being taught in the classroom—never to contradict or replace it.

Think of us as extra practice time, similar to how sports teams have practice sessions in addition to games.

The teacher provides the primary instruction, and we provide additional opportunities to practice and master those skills.

How We Complement Classroom Learning

  • Aligned with Standards: Our content follows the same English Language Arts standards used in schools
  • Reinforces Core Skills: We focus on phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension—foundational skills taught in every classroom
  • Additional Practice: We give children more opportunities to practice skills introduced by their teacher
  • Flexible Timing: Use READEE at home when it fits your schedule, not when it competes with homework
  • Builds Confidence: Extra practice helps children feel more confident participating in class

What This Means for Parents

You might wonder: "If my child is already learning to read at school, why do they need this?"

Great question! Here's the reality: classroom teachers are working with 20-30 students at once.

Even the best teachers can't provide unlimited one-on-one practice time. READEE fills that gap by:

  • Giving your child extra repetition of key concepts
  • Providing immediate, personalized feedback
  • Allowing practice at your child's own pace
  • Reinforcing what the teacher has already introduced
  • Building reading stamina and confidence

Teacher-Approved Approach

Teachers appreciate READEE because we:

  • Don't contradict their methods: We use widely-accepted, research-based strategies
  • Support their curriculum: Our lessons align with what's being taught in class
  • Save them time: Parents can help at home without teachers creating extra materials
  • Show respect: We acknowledge that teachers are the primary educators

Your Child's Reading Journey

Learning to read is like learning to ride a bike—it takes practice, support, and patience.

The classroom provides the instruction and guided practice. READEE provides additional practice opportunities in a low-pressure environment.

When children get more practice:

  • Skills become automatic (they don't have to think as hard about sounding out words)
  • Reading becomes more enjoyable (they can focus on the story, not just the mechanics)
  • Confidence grows (they feel successful and want to read more)
  • The gap between struggling and proficient readers narrows

Working Together

The best outcomes happen when teachers, parents, and programs like READEE work together:

  • Teachers provide expert instruction and assess progress
  • Parents encourage reading at home and use tools like READEE for practice
  • READEE provides structured, engaging practice that reinforces classroom learning

Together, we create a consistent, supportive environment where your child can develop strong reading skills and a lifelong love of learning.

Questions Parents Ask

Q: Should I tell my child's teacher we're using READEE?

A: Absolutely! Most teachers appreciate when parents are proactive about supporting reading at home. They might even have suggestions for how to make the most of it.

Q: What if READEE teaches something differently than my child's teacher?

A: We use widely-accepted, research-based methods that align with common classroom practices. If you notice any conflicts, please let us know so we can address it.

Q: Will this overwhelm my child with too much reading practice?

A: Our short, engaging lessons are designed to feel different from homework. If your child seems overwhelmed, you can adjust the frequency. Quality beats quantity!

Q: Is this a replacement for reading together at home?

A: No! READEE provides structured skill practice, but nothing replaces the joy of reading together as a family. Keep doing both!
