You are probably sitting here and thinking to yourself "you are talking about a unicorn..."
but, Here is what parents are saying:
created by a homeschooling mom who experienced the same frustrations as you:
- I wanted a curriculum that would guide me through every step of the way, even if I'd never taught phonics before
- a curriculum that is comprehensive and systematic but isn't tedious to teach
- I wanted a true stepping stone approach
- full of beautiful and engaging activities that varied from day to day
- readers without images
- most of all, I wanted my children to learn to read competently and enjoy the process
Here's a 30 second reel of a lesson:
AS you can see - Teaching phonics doesn't have to be a slog
here's the thing:
If you've used other programs before and they haven't worked out, it may be because what you really need is a different kind of approach.

ABOUT The Art of Reading
Stage 1 of The Art of Reading lays the foundation by teaching essential building blocks of reading through simple, systematic lessons. We begin with the vowels and their sounds, then introduce consonants one at a time. Always teaching your child how to blend a vowel with a consonant (VC), in line with the natural structure of English words.
The Art of Reading uses a stepping-stone approach, where each lesson focuses on just one concept at a time, building steadily and clearly. Because each lesson builds on the last, your child has time to master each idea before moving on. That steady progress leads to quick, easy wins, that build confidence fast. And when kids feel confident, they’re motivated. They finish each lesson feeling proud of what they’ve done and excited to come back the next day, because they’re having fun.
Every lesson includes a page of engaging, multisensory activities. Your child will learn to listen for sounds, connect them to letters, and begin to understand the foundations of spelling by building blends with letter cards. Our decodable readers are intentionally picture-free, so your child can focus entirely on decoding. To support comprehension, each reader also includes clear, simple questions that check for understanding.
By the end of Stage One, your child will be reading 3- and 4-letter words, confidently decoding up to 12-sentence stories, and ready to move on to Stage Two.
See how simple, effective and fun teaching your child to read can be.
The Art of Reading has:
- Fully scripted, open and go lessons.
- Engaging activities every day.
- Built in Readers.
- Foundations of Spelling & Grammar.
- Short lessons under 10 minutes.

stage 2
The Art of Reading Stage 2 picks up seamlessly from where Stage 1 leaves off. It begins by introducing the most commonly used digraphs, helping your child unlock a wider range of words with ease.
Rather than relying on a long list of sight words, we prioritise teaching phonics concepts that appear frequently in English, so your child can decode independently with ease.
As their skills grow, you’ll notice blending becomes smoother and reading more fluent. Stage 2 continues to review and reinforce everything taught so far, while gradually introducing more complexity. The readers begin to feature richer, more humorous plots to keep your child engaged and motivated.
The ART OF READING
stage 3
COMING JUNE 2026
Stage 3 introduces more advanced phonics patterns (such as controlled R, schwa, and additional sounds of OU), along with complete comprehensive syllable division, prefixes, and suffixes. It continues the same clear, engaging, one-step-at-a-time approach that was used in Stages 1 and 2.
Your child will keep building reading stamina and fluency while developing the tools to tackle longer words and more complex text with confidence.
Instead of cramming too much into each lesson, we continue to keep things simple and manageable, allowing your child time to absorb, apply, and succeed without ever feeling overloaded with information.
By the end of Stage 3, your child will be ready to move beyond controlled readers and start reading real books independently, confidently, and with genuine understanding.
