Traditional Reading Programs
Fail Many Children

By 4th grade, up to 70% of children are not reading at grade level. Most reading programs skip over important skills and don’t engage the whole brain, body and learning strengths.

Those programs work for the 30% of the population who are natural readers, but they don’t work for everyone.

It’s not your fault or your child’s fault. They have just never been taught to read in a way that works for their learning strengths.

Open Reading Engages the Brain AND Body
to Match the Different Ways People Learn.

We’ve been teaching, testing, and refining these principles for 40 years. This method has been used with over 100k children in classrooms across the US, and has been proven to be a more effective methodology for children who struggle learning to read. No other reading method teaches ALL of the skills or builds skill by skill in a progressive manner like Open Reading does.

"It was about time that someone came up with a reading method created for the way the human mind works instead of expecting our minds to bend to suit the reading program."

Special Education Teacher

"Teaching with Fletcher’s Place helps children learn to read. It has been crucial to a number of children who were not learning to read using standard techniques."

Open Reading
Is NOT an APP

We know you don't want to just sit your kid in front of a screen and hope for the best like most non-school programs. We use screen-based technology to make this program accessible and convenient, but the physical and musical activities and games are the secret sauce that engages children more fully.
