Start Here Teaching System | A Structured Literacy Path for Teaching Reading and Spelling

Description

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering…

• Where do I start?
• How do I turn all of this into an actual lesson?
• Am I teaching the right thing at the right time?

You’re not alone. There is a lot to teaching reading and spelling, and it’s easy to feel like you’re piecing things together as you go.

What this is

The Start Here Teaching System was created to give you a clear path to follow by focusing on how the English language works through sounds, patterns, and rules.

Rather than jumping between disconnected materials, this system brings the key pieces together so your lessons feel connected.

What this system helps you do

• Organize your lessons in a way that makes sense
• Teach skills in a logical order
• Connect reading and spelling through patterns and rules

A quick note

You don’t need to use every part of this system all at once. Start where you are, follow the progression, and adjust based on your student as you go.

This system aligns with Orton-Gillingham and other structured literacy practices, while focusing on practical application in lessons.
