Learning to read is NOT instinctual, and for many it is a tremendous challenge. The ability to immediately recall the sound that is made when one sees a letter is the foundation from which one becomes a successful reader.

Many professionals in the field understand the complexities involved in teaching a student to read. Teachers spend hours of training, pouring through detailed manuals often leading to information overload and exhaustion. Our patented bumpybooks was designed with YOU in mind.
