Marvi's Way™: Evidence-based Lesson Plans for Every Skill Set

“The lessons include all important components of instruction, from sounds to meaningful reading and writing. The graphics are attractive, and the stories and poems that children read are engaging and rich in interesting vocabulary.” —Louisa C. Moats, Ed.D.

What's Included:

1) Our affordable, user-friendly manuals are designed to help parents, tutors, and practitioners bring students up to grade level faster than most current popular programs.

2) The materials are rich with evidence-based, sequential lessons that systematically cover critical reading, spelling, and writing skills, including phonemic awareness, letter recognition, letter formation, phonics, decoding, blending, fluency, and high-frequency words. These lessons empower parents and educators to foster student success.

3) Decodable stories and poetry—provided at the end of each lesson—captivate students' interest and reinforce new concepts as well as previously taught skills and strategies to promote lasting retention.

4) Live links for articles and videos—including free assessment materials—greatly enrich parents’ and educators’ understanding, equipping them with the tools they need to effectively teach and inspire their students.

5) Each set of manuals features two tailored versions: one designed specifically for parents and educators and the other crafted for students, ensuring a comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience.

Testimonials:

  • “This is, in its entirety, the most comprehensive, well-designed, and easiest to manage and use program. Most impressive is the phonemic awareness piece of the program. I have searched and searched for phonemic activities that grow as students’ skills develop, and this program incorporates them in each lesson, including multi-syllable words. This program will benefit both tutors and classroom teachers, as well as small groups and homeschool families. It really is how an effective reading program should be—easy, effective, enjoyable, and research-based. I am loving it and have recommended it.” —Kathleen Seeman, MEd.
  • “I have been teaching for 27 years and am extensively trained in the science behind teaching reading! These materials are consistent with the research and are an amazing resource for tutors, parents, and even teachers to teach any child to learn how to read. The materials are comprehensive and provide the scope and sequence needed to help any child to read, including children with dyslexia. The research has shown that children need direct, explicit, and systematic instruction to learn how to read, and I see this guide reflecting this! I highly recommend Marvi’s Way: A Guide to Reading and Spelling.” —Kimberlie Reed, Elementary School Teacher
  • “Marvi has done an excellent job creating a tutor program that is educational and easy to use for tutors and yet doesn’t oversimplify the complexity of teaching reading. The Teaching Guides offer organized, consistent instructional routines that enable tutors to deliver efficient instruction. The front matter of the guides includes detailed information on the multi-part lesson structure, which remains consistent throughout but adds complexity over time. There are suggestions for lesson enhancements, as well as great tips and video examples, embedded throughout to help tutors provide effective instruction. The instruction is sequential, explicit, cumulative, and offers practice opportunities, which are lacking in many programs. The phonemic awareness activities increase in complexity, attending to higher levels of phoneme substitution, deletion, and addition. I could go on and on, but I’ll end with arguably the most brilliant component that she adds about halfway through the lessons – Part 7, Creative Writing/Syntax. This component begins by requiring children to create different sentences using pre-written phrases, helping them see how the meaning of the sentence changes when the phrases are ordered differently. To add complexity, in later lessons, the creative writing becomes more free-form, allowing students to write in response to optional question prompts at both the recall and inference levels using the informative decodable texts. Anyone looking for an easy-to-use and high-level program to tutor students in reading, look no further than Marvi’s Way.” —Dale W. Webster, Ph.D., President | CORE Learning
  • “I really love Marvi’s materials in all the modules, especially the connected text, which is extraordinary in terms of its breadth and depth. The creator uses such simple, decodable words that I never thought of employing in such wonderful, innovative, and lyrical ways! I also really like the comprehensive aspect of it. My tutees get to practice sounds and high-frequency words with a nice rhythm of decoding and encoding, and a little motivating smile to fill upon completion. As a dyscalculic ADHDer, the look of a manual is very important. You can see that great care has been taken in formatting, as it is quite easy to read and teach with the material! It has the ease of Sound Partners, but these manuals are far more up-to-date, and the text is included; moreover, the prose blows everything else out of the water! I also love the teacher materials for all the valuable information they provide. Marvilene has created a truly well-thought-out labor of love in which decades of expertise and care can be utilized by a broad audience, from parents to educators! Get this must-have tool for your home, clinic, or classroom!” —Amanda Tinnin, Ma TESOL
