Reading scores are at a new low — but the solution isn’t new at all.

For nearly 60 years, Direct Instruction has helped children become confident, successful readers — including the thousands who’ve learned with Funnix.

Funnix is built on the same proven approach: clear, scripted, step-by-step instruction that takes the guesswork out of learning to read — for teachers and parents.

As schools continue to chase trends, this article from DI publisher Mary Eisele is a powerful reminder that we already have what works.

Whether you’re teaching in a classroom or around your kitchen table — you don’t need a new fix. You just need a program that works.

"She is now reading in the wild." (Parent testimonial Oct. 2023)

First off, we love it. Leah just completed Funnix 1 and we're on the third lesson in Funnix 2.

She's now reading in the wild.

Last week when my wife and I were busy after she got home from school, she [Leah] picked up one of her Piggie and Gerald books and read the whole thing front to back. She didn't just retell the story, she read it.

Yesterday when she was with my dad in town, she [Leah] apparently read the McDonald's sign word for word - something like "Line for pick-up order only." As you can imagine, this caught him off guard.

In any case, the app is working fabulously.

Parent-Guided Lessons Work!

While many at-home reading programs promote a parent-free reading instruction program, Funnix is designed to have parents guide their children through the lessons. This allows parents to gain a deeper understanding of their child’s level of reading mastery as they monitor their progress through each lesson.
