Phonics Reading Boot Camp
The literacy crisis affects everyone—not just kids. Over 50% of U.S. adults can’t read above a 6th-grade level, not because of anything they did wrong, but because they were taught to pretend how to read instead of how to actually read. We can turn that around now. It's never too late.
​
If you know an adult or an older child struggling with being the strongest reader they can be, this bootcamp is what you've been looking for.
What is the Phonics Reading Boot Camp?
Phonics Reading Boot Camp is a 30-day program for adults and older students who never learned phonics or need to relearn reading due to ineffective guessing methods taught in most schools today. Many people in the USA were taught to guess unfamiliar words using pictures or skip them, which doesn’t work! This bootcamp-style method can teach anyone to read by sounding out words in just 30 days.
It was professionally designed by Hannah Ward, a mother and an English teacher who has taught students from preschool to the university level. She's a TESOL International Association certified English instructor who holds an M.Ed. in Education Technology and Instructional Design where she dual specialized as an adult and K-12 learning experience designer, and an M.S. in Management and Leadership with a focus on global leadership education.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: Does this curriculum work for students with Dyslexia, Autism, or ADHD?
​
YES. Phonics Reading Boot Camp was specifically designed with all of the strongest recommended accommodations for student with Dyslexia, Autism, ADHD, and vision difficulties already built into the curriculum. This is because these accommodations harm no students in their learning journey and are essential for some students. We have had many success stories from families whose learners have Dyslexia, Autism, and/or ADHD that no other program worked with that are now flying in reading after working through Phonics Reading Boot Camp.
Question: Why do you give the lessons away for free?
Foundational learning is far too important to put behind a paywall. This is my fulltime job and people that pay for my curriculum mean the world to me, but I work with families all over the world and I know not everyone can pay yet desperately want to teach their kids. All children deserve the best learning materials no matter what their family's financial means are. I provide free curriculum and support to all families as a personal life mission.
Question: I'm not a teacher. Can I do this?
This curriculum is designed so that anyone who can read can teach anyone else how to read.
You can do this!
What are the differences between the versions of the curriculum?
First of all, you're getting the same curriculum no matter which version you go with. The only difference is the packaging.
You can download each set of daily lessons and parent instructions bundled together one-by-one here at this website in a compressed PDF form. I compressed them and put them into smaller download sizes so that they could be stored easily on the website and could be accessible to download for families in areas with internet difficulties. I love giving books away in Little Free Libraries here locally and if I had the means to do that for everyone in the world with physical books - I would! As it stands, this is the best way I've found to make sure this curriculum can get out to as many families that need it as possible.
Happy learning,
Hannah Ward
