The First Step Reading Program

Everything you need to teach your child to read — step by step, at home, at any age!

✨ Why First Step Reading Works

📚 Phonics 📖 Sight Words 🧩 Word Families

First Step Reading makes learning to read simple, fun, and effective. Children start by learning letter sounds, then blend them into words like at, cat, and hat. They also learn word families and essential sight words that appear constantly in books.

As children grow, they move on to digraphs (sh, ch, th), consonant blends (bl, st, tr), long vowel sounds, and spelling patterns. By combining phonics, sight words, books, videos, and games, they become confident, independent readers.

How It Works: Watch, Read, Play

WATCH

Engaging video lessons teach letter sounds, blending, and sight words step by step.

READ

Apply new skills immediately with decodable books matched to each lesson level.

PLAY

Strengthen skills through reading games, flashcards, and word-building activities.

READING SUCCESS

Watch your child grow into a confident, independent reader who loves learning.
