What people are saying

  • “So beneficial for our son.”

    I was amazed by how focused my son was in the activities and the improvement I have seen in his recognition of words already. It's been a great way to reduce the amount of screen time throughout the day.

  • "Fantastic!"

    We have been using the program to get my daughter ready for this year at preschool. She has just gone back to preschool, and her teachers have noticed she is doing really well with spelling... at only turning 4 years old last week!

  • "My daughter loves the lessons."

    She has a lot of fun with the activities, we even enjoy a few laughs together 😂 I love that not only is she learning but we are having fun with it while also spending quality time together.

    I’ve spent a lot of time looking into programs and different curriculums and one thing we have really been enjoying is the learn to read program from Galaxy Reading. It’s so wonderful watching this little girl blossom and see her learn more things right before my eyes.

  • "I love it!"

    We were so happy to find the Galaxy Reading program. As a teacher, I think it's so important that kids learn to put pen to paper as they learn!

    Gemma H.

  • "No screens, no apps, just quality learning."

    My son missed so much of prep this year due to the lockdown and I know I am not alone in this. I wanted to take back control of his reading so I can give him the best start into kindy. I’m so glad I’ve found Galaxy Reading.

Galaxy Reading Phonics Foundations

  • Reading and writing letters

  • Blending and segmenting

  • Reading and spelling words

UNITS 11 - 15

  • Reading sentences

  • Building new sentences

  • Understanding punctuation

We plant trees with every purchase

At Galaxy Reading, we can't think of a more valuable use of paper than helping the next generation learn to read and write.

To help offset resources used to print our programs, we donate to tree-planting projects that focus on restoring biodiversity around the world.
