Eye Training
Visual tracking exercises that build the eye movements reading depends on before reading starts.
Six domains taught in parallel across six months, for children aged 5–10. Not a sequence of levels — a child works on all six at once, and what changes month to month is the difficulty.
The goal is not a child who can sound out letters. It is a child who reads a sentence and asks what happens next.
So every lesson pairs sound, symbol and meaning— through tracking, phonics, hands-on building, sight words, foundational maths and movement — in the same week, so a child's relationship with text is one of understanding rather than recitation.
Right-brain activityThese are not sequential levels, and there is no order to work through them in. All six run every month, reinforcing one another — a child trains their eyes, sounds out letters, builds words with their hands, counts and moves, in the same week.
Visual tracking exercises that build the eye movements reading depends on before reading starts.
A fixed letter-sound progression, from single sounds to vowel teams and r-controlled vowels.
The same phonics, built with hands — sound cards, sliders and slates instead of a worksheet.
High-frequency words a child should not have to decode, then stories and comprehension built on them.
Number sense with objects a classroom already has — counting, adding, comparing, composing.
Songs and physical action, because movement is how young children encode what they have learned.
Every month contains all six domains. What changes is the difficulty. Most classes start at Month 1 whatever the calendar says — if your children already blend sounds confidently, start at Month 2 and keep the earlier material for the ones who need it.
Establish core skills and take a baseline you can compare against later.

Find the month you are starting in. You do not need to have taught the earlier months — the six domains run in parallel, so a class can begin at Month 1 whenever the term starts.
Everything prints in black and white on one printer. Do not print six months of material before you have taught a single lesson.
The scripts contain the words that worked out loud in a real classroom. Say them as they are the first time. Change them once you know the class.
At the end of each lesson there is a short check. It tells you whether to move on or teach it again tomorrow. Repeating a lesson is not falling behind.
If a lesson ran long, confused the children, or worked better than we claimed, write and say so. Every version of this got better that way.
Everything prints in black and white on one printer, and every lesson can be read in full on screen before you print a single page.
Start with Week 1These are the reasons the months are ordered the way they are.
Each domain is sequenced so new material builds on skills already mastered. No gaps open up as the work gets harder.
Visual, auditory and tactile pathways are engaged together. Seeing, hearing and touching a letter builds the connection faster than any one of them alone.
Movement is not a break from learning. It is how young children encode what they have learned.
Every lesson opens without an account. Print it tonight, teach it tomorrow, and tell us how it went.
