For Parents & Grandparents

The best learning partner may already be sitting beside them.

You do not need to become a reading specialist to make a meaningful difference. A few simple habits can turn each adventure into shared practice.

Try the Watch • Say • Point • Praise routine.

1. Watch

Enjoy the lesson together without turning every moment into a test.

2. Say

Repeat the featured sound and word aloud with your child.

3. Point

Notice the letter in a book, sign, package, or printable later that day.

4. Praise

Celebrate effort, attention, and small gains—not just perfect answers.

Why repetition matters

Young learners often benefit from seeing and hearing the same material more than once. Familiarity frees attention for the sound, word, and pattern being taught. Grammy's lessons are intentionally designed to be repeat-friendly.

A dyslexia-aware approach

The visual system emphasizes predictable layouts, uncluttered scenes, deliberate repetition, and clear sound-to-letter relationships. These choices can support many learners, including children who need extra time and repetition.
