The Reading Rules We Teach (and Why They Matter)

Finally, feel clear on which rules matter most. You don’t need to teach every rule.

Let’s be honest, teaching reading can feel like teaching five subjects at once. You’re juggling phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and writing, all while trying to make sense of dozens (if not hundreds) of “reading rules.”

It’s overwhelming.

You want to get it right, but where do you even start?

What matters most?

How do you make sure you’re teaching the rules correctly, without overcomplicating it or leaving gaps?

For so many educators, that pressure to get it perfect leads to paralysis.

It feels safer to stay with what’s familiar than to risk doing it “wrong.”

But deep down, you know there’s a better way.

This training is that moment when it all starts to click.

You’ll see that teaching reading rules doesn’t have to feel chaotic or impossible, because there’s structure behind it all.

In this 1-hour professional development session, we’ll walk you through a clear, visual framework that breaks down reading rules across all six instructional levels:

sound → syllable → word → sentence → paragraph → passage.

You’ll see patterns come to life and learn how they connect to spelling (like when to use ER, IR, or UR to spell the /er/ sound) with visuals that make it instantly clear which are most common. You’ll finally have one place to organize the rules, see their logic, and make sense of how they connect.

That’s the AHA moment:

“There is structure here, and I have everything I need in one place.”
