Meet Lulu and Toetoe 🐶🐱: a loveable dog and a funny cat at the heart of two reading comprehension intervention programmes, now with full video training.

Here's what's inside:
✔ Step-by-step training. Annemarie walks you through every page, so you learn how to teach, not just what to hand out
✔ Ready-to-use downloadable picture cards, sentence cards and domino games (loose pages, easy to print and copy)
✔ Four levels, from pre-reading right through to confident, independent reading
✔ Grounded in the Science of Reading

And the part we love most: it isn't tied to age or grade. You find where your reader is, start there, and build up at their pace.
Designed for classroom teachers, learning support and remedial educators, therapists and homeschooling parents.

You're doing something extraordinary.

You're spending hours researching approaches, trying different strategies, and pouring everything you have into helping your child read — often without anyone to turn to who truly understands what you're navigating.

Homeschooling a child with reading difficulties takes a particular kind of dedication. And that dedication deserves a particular kind of support.

The Yellow Tree Community is a warm, welcoming space built for parents just like you — a place to find practical ideas, share what's working, ask the questions you've been sitting with, and connect with people who genuinely get it.

Because the right support doesn't just help your child. It helps you show up as the parent and teacher you already are.

You don't have to do this alone. Join our online community to become a part of something bigger: https://community.yellowtreereading.com/community

Teaching a struggling reader is one of the most rewarding — and most overwhelming — things you can do.

There are moments when you're not sure where to start. When the strategy that worked last week isn't working this week. When you're searching for answers at 9pm and nothing quite fits.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need support, guidance and the right tools around you.

At Yellow Tree Reading Academy, we've built everything you need:
✔ Training & Education
✔ Downloadable Resources
✔ Online Community
✔ Games & Activities
✔ So Much More

You bring the dedication. We'll bring the support, guidance, and resources.

Every child carries the potential to become a reader. But potential needs belief to take flight.

A child can know all their letter sounds and still need one more thing — the quiet confidence that says I can do this. Reading motivation is one of the nine essential components of skilled reading, and it's built through small wins, through being truly seen, through challenges that stretch without overwhelming.

When children experience success, they build a story about themselves: I am a reader. That story becomes a foundation as powerful as any skill they acquire.
Our resources grow alongside every child - celebrating what they can do, and building steadily toward what they will. Each step forward strengthens not just their reading, but their belief in themselves as learners.

We don't just teach children to read. We teach them to believe they can — and that changes everything.

Every child has the potential to become a skilled reader!

A child can know all their letter sounds and still struggle to read — if they've stopped believing they can. Reading motivation is one of the nine essential components of skilled reading, and it doesn't exist in isolation. It grows through small wins, through being truly seen, through tasks that are challenging but achievable.

When a child experiences success, they begin to build a new story about themselves: I am a reader. And that story becomes a foundation as powerful as any skill they will ever learn.

Our resources are designed to grow alongside every child — not to highlight what they find difficult, but to build confidently on what they can already do.
We don't just teach children to read. We teach them to believe they can!

When a child claps along to a nursery rhyme or completes a rhyming sentence, something remarkable is unfolding — the neural pathways that underpin skilled reading are being laid down.

Rhyming builds phonological awareness: the ability to hear, identify and manipulate the sounds in spoken language. This is one of the earliest and most critical foundations of learning to read.

Children who can hear rhyme are developing an ear for the patterns and structures in language - patterns they'll later use to decode unfamiliar words on a page.

So the next time you sing a silly rhyme or play a clapping game, know that you are connecting emotionally while making memories - and you're building readers.
