Hey Niepodam,

For a long time, I was doing all the right things—at least, according to what I’d been taught.

One day it was letter sounds.

The next day, spelling lists. Then a leveled reader because that’s what the district said to use.

I was working hard. Really hard. But deep down, I knew something was off.
Nothing felt connected.

My students were trying, but they weren’t moving.

And I started to wonder… “Is it me?”

Then came the turning point.

I discovered that teaching reading isn’t about throwing in a little of this and a little of that—it’s about following a recipe.

A clear, science-backed sequence that builds skills layer by layer. When I started using it?

✅ My lessons finally made sense—to me and to my kids
✅ I wasn’t scrambling to differentiate—it felt doable
✅ I stopped second-guessing every move I made

If your reading block ever feels like a guessing game, this free resource might be the clarity you've been craving:

👉 The Ultimate Recipe for Teaching Reading

There’s no shame in not being taught this from the start. Most of us weren’t.

But now that you have it? You can finally teach with confidence—and watch your students take off.

Talk soon,
