Why parents choose TLH
Small classes, big voices
Groups of four or five, taught live by a real teacher. Every child gets guidance, hears how others think, and has a real audience for their ideas.
Whole books, not just passages
Reading whole stories builds stamina, vocabulary and the ability to follow a story. Our classes use books instead of just worksheets.
In step with school
We teach the skills your child needs at school. Little ones start Grade 1 already reading, early readers build the stamina Grade 2 expects, and Grades 3–5 practice what US schools expect (the Common Core standards).
The habit at the heart of TLH
Read a little every day
Ten minutes every day does more than an hour once a week. It's how reading becomes a habit, not a chore.
Each class starts with a reading check-in, so children feel proud of every day they read. You help by keeping a regular routine and a gentle reminder at home.
small steps, every single day

How you'll know it's working
Progress you can see
Four times a year, we check your child's skills and send you a short, clear report: at the beginning of the year, two progress updates, and the end of the year. You'll see what they can do now, what's next, and how we'll help.
We don't promise scores or dates. We show you real progress.
By Grade 5, we're aiming for a child who…
- reads and writes above grade level
- has read 25 or more good novels
- has written and published a story of their own
In their words
What parents say
real families, real progress
TurboPhonics
“My daughter joined without knowing even one phonics sound. Within just 3 months, she can blend and read three-letter words. The classes are very interactive and keep the kids interested the whole time. I highly recommend them.”
