Real Reading Company


Reading and Spelling Pure & Simple takes students from nonreaders to confident, fluent readers in just 90 lessons.


As students master foundational reading skills, something powerful happens—their confidence grows, and so does their love of reading. Teachers and parents see the transformation firsthand:


“One book works for all four children, and the same book will work until they all read and spell fluently. One book! And the best part is that my children enjoy it too. As the author suggests, the conversations about word definitions lighten the mood of our lessons. I can’t say enough good about Reading and Spelling Pure and Simple.”

— Maranda De La Torre, Homeschool Teacher


“I began using this program a year ago for reading intervention with second graders. I soon realized this program was beneficial for all my students. This system helps all individuals (ELL, students with learning disabilities, and slow learners) achieve success in reading. I would recommend this program to any teacher, tutor, or homeschooling parent, and I will recommend it to my new third-grade team members.”

— Chantalle Stevenson, Elementary Teacher, Westlake, Michigan


Anyone who knows how to read can use this program to teach someone else to read—no prior phonics knowledge or teaching experience required. The curriculum is systematic, sequential, and research-based, with clear, easy-to-follow (and easy-to-teach) lessons.


Best of all, it’s designed to be engaging and enjoyable, so progress feels rewarding—not overwhelming.
