Q: Do I need an educational background to teach this toolkit?
Absolutely not! We know that parents, instructional assistants, and volunteers do A LOT of teaching–both in schools and at home. We wrote the manual so anyone can help a child learn to read.
Q: What setting is the Foundational Reading Skills Toolkit intended for?
The Foundational Reading Skills Toolkit can easily be used at both school and at home.
Q: Can I use this toolkit for students who have dyslexia?
YES! The foundational skills required to become a skilled reader are the same for all children. However, children who display warning signs of dyslexia require more intensive instruction in Phonological Awareness and Phonics (reading words & spelling words).
Q: Can a child use the toolkit on their own?
While each of the lessons need to be taught explicitly, there are multiple opportunities for independent practice, including: fluency card decks, games, and workbook pages.
Q: Can the toolkit be used by more than one parent/teacher?
The toolkit is designed to be used by one teacher or parent at a time. Unfortunately, sharing materials often leads to lost materials.
Q: What grade/age group is the Foundational Reading Skills Toolkit (Level 2) for?
The Foundational Reading Skills Toolkit (Level 2) is designed for elementary students, either as a supplement to core reading instruction (K-1st), or as intervention (2nd and above).
Q: Why does the toolkit cost $299?
In order to make learning engaging and fun, high quality materials are a must. Every game board and display card that your student sees is printed in vibrant colors, and on heavy duty card stock so that it is long lasting. Although we could have cut costs by printing in black and white, or on lighter weight paper, we feel that students deserve the best materials. Also, we will mention once again, that our toolkit is a fraction of the cost of other curriculum.
Q: What if I don’t like the Toolkit?
We have an old-fashioned, 30 day money back guarantee! (Please see our returns policy for full details).
