Faye Bankler Casell, Licensed Dyslexia Therapist
When the method matches the brain, reading clicks.
A 13-week (and adding) reading program taught by a dyslexia therapist.
You press play, learn alongside your child, and follow my video guidance and written plans for hands-on practice at home.
If you can read a recipe, you can do the home activities.It's the same concept: just follow the steps!
EFFORT was not the problem;
the APPROACH needed to change.
We now have a daughter who loves to read and is reading at grade level and will happily stand and read in front of her class - all unthinkable three years ago...
Why This Program?
You've tried it all: the apps, the tutors, reading more, the extra help, and the conferences with the school.
But still, nothing has worked.
And now your child is:
1+ year below grade level,
the gap is widening,
and self-esteem keeps dropping.
Reading Breakthrough is an intensive, therapist-level reading program where a Dyslexia Therapist and family member partner to deliver an intensive intervention in the home, according to the family's schedule.
The parent involvement part makes me a little anxious. It can be stressful when I try to help.
What should I expect?
I teach the lessons on video, directly to your child, in a sequential, cumulative, explicit, multisensory way, in alignment with the International Dyslexia Association.
You press play 3-5x/week, learn concepts alongside your child, and guide simple hands-on practice as modeled by me: practicing sounds, spelling review, retelling stories, word play, and daily reading sheets. It's a balance of practice and play.
If you can play a board game with your child, you can do these activities. The directions are straightforward and simple. I do the hard parts on video, and you do the fun stuff at home.
You can split up the standard session across your day, in a family-friendly format. Instead of seeing a therapist for 50-60 minute session, 3-5 times/week, your sessions can be this:
AM: Alphabet work, phonology activities (rhymes, word chain games, etc), handwriting, and card deck review (15 minutes).
PM: Watch concept video lesson together. Then, do reading sheet, spelling practice (25 minutes).
Evening: Reading or writing extension activity or fluency practice followed by a parent read-aloud (20 minutes).
That's more than an app. It's meant to be. The intensity is what makes this therapeutic. It's the same frequency your child would get in an $80-200/hour therapy office.
The programs that promise results in 10 minutes a day aren't built for moderate to significant dyslexia. This one is.
I model the use of the 5W comprehension cards in a parent video.
No teaching experience needed. I show you exactly what to do in short parent guidance videos.
If you know how to sit beside your child and play a simple game, you can do the activities.
You're not their teacher. You're their champion!

Reading Breakthrough lessons include: morphology, phonological concepts, vocabulary, spelling, fluency, comprehension, oral language, high frequency words, and more.
Growth mindset, support for executive functioning needs, and a gentle appreciation for the natural blend of strengths and weaknesses in every brain is an undercurrent throughout the program.
