With the implementation of a combination of Tara’s SOR resources, my students have excelled during small group instruction!

Tara's products are amazing! After learning about the Science of Reading and knowing what my school was using wasn't working, I found her Guided Phonics and Beyond program. It encompasses what the research tells us about how children learn and was a game changer in my classroom.

Tara’s products have helped me so much as a teacher! I teach 2nd grade and love using her Guided Phonics and Beyond Focus Lessons. They’re easy to follow, low prep, and engaging for students. I always have students ranging across all 6 units throughout the year, so being able to differentiate helps me meet every student where they’re at while using the same product.

Oh, where to start, everything of Tara’s is so wonderful! Hands on, engaging, child centered products that I have access to in a few clicks, tons of which are FREE! The freebie library saved me my first year of teaching; activity sheets, centers and pacing guides to keep myself on track! All of which are based on the Science of Reading and kept my Kinders engaged in learning!
