At home, parents aren't just teaching reading. They’re removing resistance, strengthening their relationship, and building confident readers who understand what they read, make critical connections, and have a lifelong motivation to learn. Phonics are important but phonics alone won't get you there. 
We've designed a 30 minute routine that does.

The 3 Part Framework that Delivers Results

STACK FOR IMPACT™: Reading is important, but you want children to understand what they read, make critical connections, and build stamina for reading. Apps and beginner programs leave this out. We weave it into every lesson.  

CONNECT:  You can't teach a child who's resistant, deregulated, or unmotivated. Our framework teaches you to support executive function and emotional connection, decrease resistance, and improve collaboration

DECODE: Children can't sound out words without phonics and we don't want them relying on pictures to read. You need real, sequenced phonics lessons you can track like the pros.

How Effective Are the Lessons?

Check out one of our most challenging cases. Well into his teens, he was still reading at a kindergarten level. He'd spent years trying and had been let down many times. Initially, he was very resistant. He'd been pulled out of classes and worked on tutoring his whole life. What could possibly be different this time? Just a few months of our lessons - look at him go! The lessons do the heavy lifting and - the strategies work!

Here's why every parent needs to have bundle and understand this framework:

My name is Nikolai Pizarro, founder of Raising Readers and creator of the Connect, Decode, Stack for Impact™ System. I have been a private tutor, reading specialist, and trainer for 25. years. My tutoring hourly rate fluctuates between $65-150 per hour and I am booked months ahead. My training workshops range from $450-1,800 per session. I am good at what I do. But I truly believe with few exceptions most children are best served by learning from and with their parent. Even students receiving private intervention need daily support. Parents equipped to support them secure their children's reading outcomes.

Teaching your child to read is an opportunity to build their lifelong academic foundation. This is powerful for every child but particularly for children that struggle. Using my framework that leads with connection, your child will learn they are accepted and supported. The lessons teach reading and spelling - sure. But under your guidance, with this framework and tools, your child will learn how capable you are when working together. It's priceless. No tutor, tech, or Ai can do that.
