My Turn to Read: A Decodable Reader for Beginners

Teach your child to read in just a few minutes a day, even if you've never taught phonics before.

Does your child breeze through their school books, then freeze the moment a new word appears? Have you watched them guess a word from the picture instead of actually reading it? It's the sign of a problem that stays hidden until it doesn't.

Reading is not guesswork. It's a skill the brain builds by mapping letters to the sounds they stand for and blending those sounds into words — and decades of neuroscience now show the precise order in which that wiring forms. My Turn to Read is a decodable reader built on that research. Every lesson works only with sounds your child has already mastered and adds new ones in a deliberate sequence. It's the same systematic, structured method reading specialists rely on with the children who struggle most.

Inside this phonics book for ages 4–7, you'll get:

• A page-by-page path that only ever uses sounds your child already knows — without jumping ahead, frustration, or guessing from pictures.
• The simple three-step blending routine that turns separate letters into a whole word your child reads on their own.
• The two-color trick on every page that makes the hardest part of a new word impossible to miss.
• Short daily lessons — a few minutes most days does more than one long weekend sitting.
• A method grounded in the neuroscience of reading — the same brain-based approach specialists use with struggling and dyslexic readers, laid out simply enough to teach at your kitchen table.

Not a teacher? You don't need to be. Every lesson is laid out in order, with the routine spelled out right on the page.

It was written by Kristen Nichols, a Certified Academic Language Therapist with 20 years of teaching reading and a Master's in Education, and Dr. Togzhan Jumagulova, who holds a Ph.D. in Education and built the program at her own kitchen table after her daughter struggled to read.
