Phonics, Reading,
and Me Program Overview
Get a closer look at this breakthrough K–3 reading program.
Phonics, Reading, and Me is evidence based and has a positive impact on early literacy achievement as shown in an independent study conducted by John’s Hopkins University Center of Research and Reform in Education.
In the community of Jasper, a rural city just northwest of Birmingham, Alabama, students have already seen success with Learning Without Tears’ newest reading program, Phonics, Reading, and Me™.
More than 450 of the region’s students attend T.R. Simmons Elementary School, where educators were beginning to see gaps in students’ reading skills that stood out to them. Angela Harbin, a reading specialist at the school, said they were looking for a literacy program that supported their existing curriculum by building foundational skills that would last through the later grades.
We’re not just teaching reading; we’re cultivating confident, lifelong readers through a research-backed approach to phonics instruction. Our method delivers results that matter and empowers students with a solid foundation in phonics, opening the door to fluent reading and comprehension.
Rooted in evidence-based practices, our program is designed to spark a genuine love for reading. We understand that literacy education isn’t just about decoding words; it’s about inspiring students to explore the rich world of literature with enthusiasm and assurance.
