Reading Quest Resources
We are happy to share with you some of our time-tested methods and materials to support children with reading. We have also put together a compilation of our top recommendations of best online resources for teachers, tutors and parents. Please let us know how else we can support you.
Support us too if you can. |
There are now lots of online tools and materials to draw from to support children to learn how to read. Reading Quest has developed an overview of our favorite resources, so you do not have to do the research yourself. Please join our email list if you would like to receive future updates.

At Reading Quest, we rely upon 24 phonetic rules to teach children how to read. You can download them below. Our bird's eye view includes word examples and books which support each rule.

Watch Reading Rules Videos
Visit our video library which contains a growing collection of tutorials and songs intended to support students who are learning to read in English. If we can obtain the necessary funding, we hope to develop a video for each of the 24 Reading Rules we draw upon in our tutoring programs. |

Reading Quest Word Cards
We have developed decks of word cards to help children learn how to use and pronounce short vowels, short vowels with blends, magic e, magic e with blends, two vowels walking and bossy r. The card decks can now be ordered at our store for $4 each (digital download) or $6 (physical set) plus shipping). We also have original Reading Quest board games at our store.

Reading Quest uses the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet and a few simple signs to help children learn how to read. If you would like to explore this approach, here is an ASL alphabet for purchase at the American Society of Deaf Children.
We also invite you to check the ASL section of our compilation of favorite online resources. It includes two youtube videos for learning the alphabet. Also, check out this video of the ASL alphabet being sung- it's quite fast so perhaps learn your ABCs in ASL first! |
We have compiled a list of excellent articles about the science of reading which you can read online now, or download:
