QUICK LINKS:  Contact Sales      Workshops

With reading scores at historic lows, students need targeted, foundational literacy skills now more than ever. Learning Without Tears’ programs are based on the science of reading, which says effective instruction should be scaffolded, explicit, and developmentally sound.

We Start with a Line

The path to literacy spirals out in one magic moment—when a child’s lines become letters.

They will discover that these letters represent sounds. And when put together, they create words, which build into sentences. With each new skill, they unlock the endless possibilities of reading.

To Help Students Read, Start with Writing
