Rebuild Reading Confidence with a Skill-by-Skill System That Works

Struggling readers don’t need more busywork—they need structure, support, and small wins. Whether you’re teaching ADHD learners, homeschoolers, or middle schoolers who hate to read, these resources are built to help them grow.

Why This Matters

Students who struggle with reading in middle school are 4x more likely to drop out of high school and face increased risks of depression, incarceration, and underemployment. ADHD learners are disproportionately affected—yet most reading programs are not designed for how they think.

That’s why these materials focus on scaffolding, predictability, and engagement. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Just give students consistent, supportive practice—and watch their confidence grow.
