Sound familiar?

Watching your child struggle to read is heartbreaking.

  • You've tried the apps, the workbooks, the YouTube videos - and nothing seems to stick.
  • You sit down to help with reading and end up frustrated, unsure if you're even doing it right.
  • Private tutoring costs $40–$250 an hour. It adds up fast and waiting lists are long.
  • You just want a clear, proven path forward - not another thing to piece together on your own.
You're not failing your child. You just haven't had the right tools. Until now. 🐦

Lifetime Access + Every Future Update
Pay once, access forever. Every new lesson, update and addition is included at no extra cost - now and always.

Inside Each Lesson

Every session follows the same proven structure - so your child always knows what to expect.

  1. 01
    Phoneme & Grapheme Warm-Up
    Start with a confidence boost - reviewing sounds and letters already mastered before introducing anything new.
  2. 02
    Read Words
    Using a tactile tracing strategy, your child decodes words with their whole body - not just their eyes.
  3. 03
    Spell Words
    Finger spelling isolates each sound before it hits the page - a game-changer for kids who reverse or omit letters.
  4. 04
    Write Sentences
    Reading and spelling skills merge into full sentences, with the C.A.P.S. strategy teaching kids to check their own work.
  5. 05
    New Material
    Each lesson ends with something new - a phoneme, a rule, a pattern - always introduced in the same clear, reassuring way.

Your Guide

Hi, I'm Kim - and I built this for your family.

After 15 years teaching in elementary classrooms and working one-on-one with dyslexic students, I kept seeing the same thing: parents who desperately wanted to help their child - but had no idea how and couldn't afford $200/hour tutoring sessions.

So I built the Wordy Birds Lesson Pack - the exact same research-based framework I use with my own students, packaged so that you can deliver it at home, at your pace, with confidence.

By the time you finish this program, your child will have a stronger foundation in reading and spelling - and you'll finally feel like you know how to help them.

Families love it

Real parents. Real results.

A thousand thank yous for this! It is such a logical and scientific approach to something that seems abstract and big. I finally feel like I understand what my son needs and I actually know how to help him now. Wow!

Kelsey S. - 2nd grade mom

It doesn't even feel like these lessons are recorded - it feels like Kim is really here with us in the room! My son actually asks to do his lessons. I never thought I'd say that.

Charlie B. - kindergarten dad

These videos offer such great detail and guidance. The guessing game is completely gone. I know exactly what to do, why we're doing it and my kids are making real progress for the first time.

  • What grade level is this best for?

    The Lesson Pack is intended for students with a solid foundation of consonant sounds - typically early to mid elementary. That said, the strategies are relevant for parents of dyslexic students of any age and older students who haven't yet mastered the included phonemes will benefit too.

  • What phonemes do you cover inside the lessons?

    You'll get explicit instruction on short vowels (a, e, i, o, u), sh, -ay, -ck, ee, ch, or, the FSZL rule, all, voiced and unvoiced th, -oy, -ing, -ang/-ong/-ung, ar, wh, oo, -ink/-ank/-onk/-unk, silent e, oi, ow - plus 5 review lessons and a bonus vowel lesson.

  • My child already knows some of this - can we skip ahead?

    Absolutely! Each family meets their child exactly where they are. Just confirm there are no gaps before jumping forward, since the curriculum is cumulative. The instructional strategies are valuable at every stage regardless of entry point.

  • Are these considered Orton Gillingham lessons?

    The Lesson Pack closely follows the OG lesson framework but is not a substitute for a live OG tutor. It was created for families who don't have access to such services due to time, location or financial constraints. You'll learn how to support, prompt and encourage throughout each lesson.

  • What does lifetime access actually mean?

    As long as this product exists, you have access to it - including all future additions and updates at no additional cost, ever.

  • Do you offer refunds?

    Because this is a digital product with immediate access to all content, we're unable to offer refunds. That said, we never want you to feel unsure about your purchase - if you have any questions before enrolling, please reach out at [email protected]. We'll help you figure out if this is the right fit for your family before you commit.
