The goal: on day 10 your child looks at every letter before saying a word, and reads words and sentences never seen before, with no picture to help.
For the child who guesses from the first letter or the picture, or “reads” a book by heart. About five minutes a day from you.
That is the goal, not a promise. Some children drop the habit in a week, and some need the ten days twice. Guessing at words is common at five, six and seven.

From a quick guess to a careful read

cap
“cap” read as “cat.” One letter, then a guess.

Day 10
cap
Every letter, left to right. Then the word.
You say “sound it out” and your child says the first word that comes. That does not mean your child is not trying. Guessing is quick, and in a book with a picture for every line it often works. So this plan takes away what a guess feeds on, one thing at a time.

Hear a real sound track
This is the day 3 track your child works with. It waits, then gives the answer. Nothing listens back.
Step one is different
First, find which guessing habit it is
Children guess in different ways, and each one needs a different push. Day 1 is a four-minute check that points to the most likely one.
From the first letter
Sees one letter and says a word that starts with it.
cap → “cat”
🖼️From the picture
Looks up at the picture and says what it shows.
twig → “branch”
🔁From memory
Knows the book by heart. The same words in a new order are not read.
Not guessing at all
Says the sounds, but no word comes. That is blending, and it comes first.
Your result tells you which days to do twice, or that your child needs the blending plan first. No starting at page one for no reason.

What you get to reach it
It is more than worksheets. It is the pages, someone showing you each day, and a voice that works with your child while you step away.
22 pages
The book
Ten days of pages with the hand-drawn Sound It Out friends. A picture is only ever something to match or check after the word is read. Color and ink-saving black and white, US Letter and A4.
11 videos
A video for every day
About a minute each. You see what to do before you do it, with the real sound of each letter. With captions.

Sound tracks for your child
On days 3, 4, 6 and 8. Press play and step away. The voice says what to do, waits, then says each word or sentence so your child can check it alone.
2 checks
The day 1 and day 10 checks
Day 1 shows which guessing habit it is. Day 10 uses only words and sentences your child has never seen, so a guess or a good memory does not pass.

What this is not
It is not a promise. Some children drop the habit in a week. Some need the ten days twice. It is not a test for dyslexia, and guessing at words on its own does not mean a child has it. If your child is seven or older, or finds reading very hard in other ways too, tell the teacher as well. It is not an app, and your child does not need a screen. It covers short words of two and three sounds. If your child cannot yet join sounds into a word, the blending plan comes first, and the free check tells you so. You need a printer and scissors.
Questions
Do I need a printer?
Yes. The pages are made to be printed once, on plain paper. The black-and-white copy uses very little ink.
Why does my child guess words when reading?
Because it is quick, and in a book with a picture for every line it often works. Some children were even taught to look at the first letter, look at the picture, and guess. It is a habit, and it is common at five, six and seven. It is not a lack of effort.
Is my child reading or memorizing?
Here is a quick way to see. Take three words from a book your child “reads” well, and write them on paper in a new order. If your child cannot read them there, the book is known by heart. That is a good memory. It is not yet reading. The free check does this for you, and day 8 of the plan is built for it.
How old should my child be?
Most children who need this are five to seven. Your child should already know most of the letter sounds, and be able to join three sounds into a word, even slowly.
School tells my child to look at the picture. Will this clash?
Pictures are fine for enjoying a story. This plan only changes the order: the letters first, the picture after. You can tell the teacher what you are doing at home.
How much of my time does it take?
About two minutes at the start of each day’s page, and a minute at the end when your child reads three things to you. Day 1 and day 10 are checks of about four minutes each.
What if my child cannot do a day?
Stop, and do the same page again tomorrow. Slow is the whole idea: a child who guesses is going too fast. The halfway check on day 5 tells you whether to go on or go back.
Does anything record my child?
No. Nothing in this pack watches, listens to or records your child. You are the one who listens.
How do I get the videos and sound tracks?
The “start here” page of the book has a code to scan with your phone, and a short link. They open in your browser. There is nothing to install.
What if it is not right for us?
Write to hello@sounditoutreading.com within 30 days of buying and we will refund you. You do not need to give a reason, and you keep the pages.
