As a member, you gain access to all lessons that you can view anytime and anywhere. ENJOY SPECIAL PRICING UNTIL ALL UNITS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED! Right now there are 4 Units available for viewing. This is equivalent to 31 (20-25 minute) lessons, which should last anywhere from 15-31 weeks depending on your child's needs. Units 5-6 coming September - October 2026!
The site includes lessons covering a variety of phonics skills. You may start from Lesson 1 Unit 1, or jump to the skill your child is ready to practice. Each lesson is designed to feel like a one-on-one tutoring session. Your child will be given time to pause, think, and respond throughout the lesson. Lessons focus on building strong reading and spelling skills step by step. All your child needs to be successful is a workspace and something to write on.
Each lesson is approximately 20-25 minutes long. Students should aim to watch at least 2 videos per week, from the same phonics sound. Videos can be paused, replayed, and completed throughout the week at their own pace.
Each lesson contains the following:
Phonemic Awareness (listening to sounds)
Phonics (letters & their sounds)
Fluency & Comprehension (reading practice)
High Frequency Word Support (vocabulary)
Spelling Practice (through dictation and/or games)

How it Works
What Fellow Educators are Saying
I have had the pleasure of working at the same school with Mrs. Robin Torres for 10 years now. For the past 6 years, we have taught first grade together. Mrs. Torres is undeniably one of the most intellectual individuals that I have had the privilege of working with. She dedicates herself to knowing and understanding the individual needs of her students, which plays a crucial role in teaching them how to read. I’ve seen firsthand how she is able to implement the science of reading into her classroom in order to get the struggling readers, reading. Knowing how to read is one thing, but having the skills to teach young children how to read is an entirely different ball game. I have no doubt that your struggling readers will begin to soar after participating in Robin’s Reading Academy. Through strenuous research, years of teaching, and a passion for helping students learn, Mrs. Torres is a person I would trust with my own kiddos.
