You get easy-to-use assessment tools, resources, word lists, games and 40+ video tutorials stepping you through the process of learning to read.
Watch your child be surprised at what they can do within the first few lessons!
YES, WE NEED THIS →- ✔️Quick & easy to digest recorded video lessons
- ✔️ No guessing or memorising whole words
- ✔️ Science of reading & evidence based
- ✔️ Catch up quick for struggling readers & spellers
- ✔️ 10 minutes a day
If your child is struggling with reading, WE guarantee that it is because they have not been taught in the right way
If the 'strategies' below sound familiar, your child has been taught to 'guess & memorise' (which is NOT actually reading)...
❌ They have a list of 'sight' words to memorise
❌ They use pictures to guess what words say
❌ They are given repetitive or predictable text
❌ They are told to 'read on' when they don't know and word and then come back to guess what it might say
👉🏽If the above sounds familiar, your child is not being taught to read in the right way.
End the frustration, tears, and confidence-crushing cycle. Instead, teach your child how the sounds and patterns in words work together to help them confidently read, spell, and understand exactly what words say.
Instead, jump into
Step into Literacy
And we'll show you exactly how to get 100% success rate with teaching kids to read, teaching the the way that their brains needs to learn to read, no matter the diagnosis or situation.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
- You have an amazing kid but they suffer from anxiety, have low confidence & low self-esteem. Maybe your child is thinking or saying that they are 'dumb'.
- Your child may have had some school-based or run-of-the-mill tutoring but you've seen minimal progress.
- You want to help your own child but you are unsure of what you should be doing and how to get started.
- Your child is saying that they don't want to go to school anymore and that hurts your heart.
- One-to-one specialised literacy tutoring is too expensive.
- You know you can help your child with the right approach but you're just not sure what to do.
"Behind every young child who believes in themselves is a parent who believed first."
- Mathew L. Jacobson
It's horrible seeing your child struggle
Your child is so frustrated, & you know that one day they will give up
Your child is noticing that they are behind compared to their friends & they conclude that they are 'dumb'
You might be thinking...
Why can't my child learn to read?
Short answer: they can! They just need the right approach.
The ability to successfully read comes down to how effectively a child processes language in the brain.
Truth is, some kids will seemingly just 'pick up' reading but 1 in 5 will struggle due to poor phonological processing.
When this happens, the child that struggles will need a different teaching approach. More of the same teaching that is failing them in the first place will not work and will waste time.
we need to:
✅ Find out exactly what they know and don't know using our easy to follow assessments included at the start of this program.
✅ Go back to the start and fill in the foundational gaps.
✅ Learn how the letter to sound codes work in syllables.
✅ Put those syllables together to read with accuracy and confidence.
✅Practice applying this new knowledge with all of the resources & games provided in this program.

(My daughter is) so proud of her own achievements. She hasn’t talked anymore about how ‘stupid’ she is or how all her friends are smarter because she’s seeing her own progress and is focused on that.
Geraldine

My daughter is a lot more confident.
There are so many chances to feel successful, it's improved her attitude to reading. Self correction has also been lovely to see.
Sandra

My son will more readily will attempt to decode words rather than just guessing. He has increased accuracy with vowel sounds which were previously easily confused.

Kristy Haworth
ACCREDITED DYSLEXIA THERAPIST, STRUCTURED LITERACY SPECIALIST, EDUCATION CONSULTANT & registered teacher
Kristy has been a teacher for over 20 years, and for the last 14 of those, she has specialised in dyslexia therapy and structured literacy. She runs a private practice with a team of specialist educators who work with kids online all across Australia.
Over the years, Kristy kept seeing the same thing: parents who desperately wanted to help their child at home with reading and spelling but didn't know where to start. So she packaged up everything she knows about catching kids up quickly into this 8-module programme, giving you exactly what you need to teach your child to read and spell using a real, evidence-based approach so that you can see results at home.
Kristy holds a Bachelor of Education and Postgraduate qualifications in Special Education, specialising in Learning Difficulties. She is also accredited in Orton Gillingham and Multisensory Structured Language (MSL), and is a registered dyslexia therapist with the Australian Dyslexia Association.
When she's not working, you'll find her on her yoga mat, out on a day trip with her husband, two boys and their little King Charles Cavalier, or quietly reading with a good cup of tea.
"Kristy Haworth from Step Into Literacy has been a powerful teaching presence for me as a homeschool mum. By offering tuition on English that even teachers in school generally don’t/can’t utilise, I was able to supply my children with leading resources. We feel like we’ve not only learned basic reading/writing skills, but have advanced skills now, stuck has boosted our confidence along with accelerating the kids’ learning journeys."
Jo
Step into Literacy mum of a 10 and 13 year old
"Do it! What’s the alternative?
The current schooling system wasn’t working for my child. Continuing doing the same thing and expecting a different result just wasn’t going to happen.
I’m so happy that I took the plunge. I don’t regret a thing.
The most rewarding thing has been seeing my daughter succeed where she was consistently failing. My daughter simply needed a different strategy."
Sandra
Step into Literacy mum of a 7 year old
"Joining this literacy program has been a game-changer for our family. The engaging curriculum and dedication from Kristy has improved our child's reading skills and fostered a new love for our son’s learning. Highly recommend it to any family looking to boost their child's literacy and confidence!!"
Tegan
Step into Literacy mum of a 9 year old
"Step into Literacy has been great to give me some of the background into how to approach leaning to read. We didn't get this from the school. I now feel like I can help my son more. It has even given me the language and knowledge to discuss things further with the school."
