Why Reading for Sure Works—When Others Don’t
The internet is overflowing with phonics programs, decodable readers, and endless worksheets. While some of these resources can be useful, teachers are often left sifting through a confusing jumble of materials. Some are free, some aren’t—but the real question is: do they actually make learning to read easier?
Simple, Systematic, and Proven
With Reading for Sure, you won’t need to guess. Our program provides targeted, structured resources that take students step-by-step through the process of learning to read. No more piecing together worksheets from different sources. Instead, you get everything you need to support your students with confidence.
From the very beginning, students develop reading skills by learning to hear the sounds in words, match them to letters, and blend those letters into words. Each story and word list has been carefully chosen to build the cognitive skills essential for fluent reading. And unlike many other programs, Reading for Sure doesn’t overwhelm students with complex spelling rules in the early stages—giving them quicker wins and greater confidence.
Immediate Results, Individualised Support
Our structured approach not only supports students—it supports teachers too. With our set texts, it’s easy to track progress and quickly identify areas where a student may need extra help. You can adjust your teaching in real time, making your support more effective and reducing your workload.
Built-In Comprehension and Spelling
Every Reading for Sure lesson naturally integrates comprehension and spelling, so students don’t just decode—they understand. They also begin to see how spelling helps us share our ideas, tell stories, and communicate meaning.
It Works—Even When Other Programs Don’t
For over 32 years, Reading for Sure has helped thousands of students overcome reading and literacy difficulties—including those with dyslexia, autism, or where English is an additional language. Our approach works across a wide range of cognitive abilities. Many families have joined our waitlists after seeing their child struggle with other phonics programs. Once they begin Reading for Sure, improvement is often immediate—because sometimes, they just needed something different.
