Rethinking How Children Learn to Read

Rethinking How Children Learn to Read

Word Nuts Reading is an early literacy, tactile-based system focused on sound, structure, and repetition, intentionally designed to reduce guessing and build real fluency from the ground up for children and adults in all stages of reading practice.

What we're developing:

• A sound-first reading tool
Designed to help early readers rely on phonemic patterns rather than guessing from pictures or context.

• A system that rewards accuracy over speed
Because fluency emerges from stability, not pressure.

• A tactile approach to learning
Supporting children who learn best through hands-on repetition and physical engagement.
