Learn To Teach

Parent Courses

A self-paced training that walks you through teaching a child with dyslexia, even if you've never taught reading before.

Your Path

Three courses, one journey

Understand what's going on, learn to run the program, then stand up for your child at school. Start where you are. Each course works on its own.

Advocating for Your Child

What Makes It Different

More than watch-and-nod videos

Every lesson is built for doing, not just watching, the way the best online courses feel.

Interactive flip cards from the Strengths of Dyslexia lesson

Experiential lessons

Flip cards, tabs, expandable signs, interactive Sound Cards, and instant-feedback knowledge checks. You learn by doing.

The Decodable Word and Sentence Generator AI prompt, with copy and open-in-ChatGPT or Claude buttons

AI Co-Tutor prompts

Ready-to-use prompts you can drop into ChatGPT or Claude to plan lessons, spot signs, and generate decodable practice for your child.

A lesson title with its three ways in: listen to the narration, print the guide, or watch the demo

Three ways into every lesson

Watch the demo video, print the one-page session guide, or listen to Sandra's audio narration in the car or while making dinner. Same lesson. Pick the way that fits your day.
