After years of teaching, evaluating, and continuing my own professional education, I am very selective about the curricula I recommend. It has taken time to find resources that are not only easy for parents to use, but also firmly grounded in current reading research.

I want to be clear without being alarmist. There is homeschool reading curriculum available today that is not aligned with how the brain learns to read and, in practice, can contribute to reading difficulties that resemble dyslexia rather than prevent them.

When reading instruction lacks explicit, systematic foundations, children may struggle unnecessarily, even when they are capable learners. Using a curriculum grounded in established reading research helps build strong foundations and reduces the likelihood of avoidable reading struggles.

Logic of English is one of those rare programs. It reflects what we now know about how children actually learn to read and spell, and it is a curriculum I can confidently recommend to families.

If you are looking for a research based, multisensory, parent friendly approach to reading and spelling, you can explore the Logic of English resources I recommend below.
