How Balanced Readers Were Born:

My son Jonah is in 5th grade and dyslexic. He struggles with reading and I was about to pull my hair out after going over the silent e rule for the 1,002 time in the past 3 years.

I started thinking about decodable readers. Then I did a TON of research on both decodable and predictable readers.

I wanted to create something that is a balance between having intentional, repeated, phonics practice AND a whole language approach, where students study illustrations and vocabulary within the context of a story to help solve new words.

It's also very important to me to create work that helps students (especially those who struggle) develop reading confidence and a love of reading.

From this, I created the new Balanced Readers!
