Are You Working Too Hard
to Achieve Outstanding Reading Results?

Six simple secrets are all you need to uncover the path to reading nirvana - where you can do less planning, fewer activities and marking, yet achieve amazing results. Best part: You can learn it all in one day and use it tomorrow to do the best teaching of your life!

There are six "little secrets" among literacy professionals… secrets that no classroom teacher learns on their own. These six "little secrets" are incredibly simple to master (once they are revealed)… and yet they INSTANTLY allow you to forge your own personal classroom "success story". Which means you will, in your very next term:

The best part is, you won't need extra time in the curriculum! In fact our strategies will save 25% of your time. That's how much unnecessary task work is in the reading program of most classroom teachers. And it's easy to make the change. All you need to know are these six "little secrets" to reading success.

How can this be? How can you not change anything significant about your teaching... and SUDDENLY – start teaching like the top teachers of literacy?

It's very simple. Much simpler than you think.

You see... most teachers, already burdened by the demands on their time are teaching as well as they can, given the information they have at hand.

However your results could be DRAMATICALLY enhanced by fully understanding the PLANNING process.

Let me explain.

If you're like most teachers, you like to plan early to be well prepared for the coming year/term/week. At the very least, you set aside a few hours to "plan" before each week. Everyone who takes their teaching seriously does this.

Success in reading relies on your knowledge of the reading process as it relates to students' abilities to understand and apply strategic behaviours. Why not harness the practical advantages you haven't received from university, in-services and peer support? Practical instruction about how to teach children to read is fundamental to all primary teachers but sadly lacking in our current system.

Even recent initiatives such as Queensland's Keys to Literacy strategy don’t fully address the planning process in sufficient detail to make a difference.

The experts spend time planning, too. Analysing and assessing.

But the experts do something DIFFERENT.  Unlike most teachers…

The Expert Knows How To "Implement Her Plans" for Results.
The Analysis and Planning... Comes With Her to the Classroom!

Many classroom teachers, on the other hand, are not equipped to deliver their best instruction. You see: They may be planning the upcoming week's teaching, scheduling lessons, thinking through the strategic approach, considering individual learning needs, maybe a little unsure about how to address a particular problem and planning how to resolve it...

But stop right there. The difference between you and a top expert just went right by you. While you struggled with moving you readers along, the expert used her six "little secrets"... and...

"Drove Home" Her Teaching Point
With Success And Control,
Using Her Data and Strategies In The Classroom!

That's what gives the experts their advantage and incredible results.

The expert "captures" every piece of useful data to inform her teaching and stores it, where she can retrieve it easily when she's teaching in the classroom.

Many teachers, however, have not been shown how to make best use of the insights they consider in planning, which does not allow them to be retrieved and addressed when they're in front of the class. Those great insights available by analysing data are lost forever. Implementing instruction to address those insights in the classroom will be far more effective in meeting purposeful learning goals.

And what's really frustrating for teachers is in spite of their dedication, they haven't been provided with the tools of the trade... because these six little secrets are almost NEVER discovered by classroom teachers! They're the secrets that separate the teachers who can make a difference to a child's life, and everyone else who struggles to keep up.

And... just like most things that are so simple they get completely overlooked... few understand how these secrets are successfully implemented in the classroom.

With these Six Little Secrets - Less is More

That's right, you can actually DO LESS WORK. Plan and deliver fewer activities, set fewer tasks, do less marking of work. You'll have time to do more quality teaching, provide students with more reading time, all while achieving astonishing results.

At Literacy Solutions we have examined reading strategically from a theoretical and a practical perspective for years, achieving some truly remarkable results along the way. We are among the FEW experts to develop a practical approach to teaching reading in a way that makes sense and gives results to classroom teachers...

We reveal the secrets most experts don't, with a strong focus on practical implementation. You will learn that every teaching activity should be linked to specific teaching goals. No more winging it! You will finally understand how every action you take in the classroom links to real outcomes.

These six "little secrets" of the experts will change your teaching forever...

And Do It
Literally Overnight!

You have to SEE these six secrets to "get" them. So we developed a workshop explaining what you need to know. (The most insightful educators understand that the level of teacher expertise has the greatest impact on student learning. In fact quality teaching improves students' outcomes by 30-49%.)

It will take just a day to attend the Novice to Ninja - The Secrets to Teaching Reading workshop. And then you will know these simple "little secrets" that allow you to far exceed your expectations. And you will be able to do the same thing, the very next time you step into your classroom. You'll finally be that "one in one thousand" teacher who exerts the same "Expert Control" over instruction that the specialists do.

It really is that simple.

In fact, once you see these six secrets in action, they will be burned into your memory forever. You just don't know how easy it is. We'll show you.

And then, the next time you plan the weekly timetable, you can remember the six secrets. The secrets are "locked in". All the things you need – routine, data, analysis, strategy, all of it... it's all "locked in" and on autopilot from then on.

And your teaching is changed forever. Just like that.

The result? Students with increased reading stamina and independence. Reading levels well above expectations. Students with a love of reading. NAPLAN scores in reading that make your colleagues envious; stress free teachers with a 'Can Do' attitude and professional satisfaction.

Sound easy? It is! It's what teaching is all about.
