“How do I know if this is the right level for my child?”

Start with Emergent if your learner (any age):

• Is just beginning to read or has had limited success

• Knows fewer than ~50–60 words, or can’t recognize them reliably in different places (generalize)

• Cannot fluently read the I Said book (use the LOOK INSIDE preview to check)

What Emergent builds:

Mastery means recognizing core words anywhere (not just on flashcards) and fluently reading I See, Look, and especially I Said.

If this is easy already:
Skip to the Primer Level and preview those pages (see the Primer section below).

“We are ecstatic!”

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you!!!! After reading about your Fast Flash method, and following it at home, my 10-year-old son just two days ago read me his first 5 words!!!! To say he and I were ecstatic is an understatement.”- J.A., United Kingdom
