Have Questions? I've Got Answers!

What age group is this course best for?

The JFLM course is designed for parents of children in Pre-K through 2nd grade (or as young as 3 years old and up to 7 years old) who want to start the reading journey (Track 1) and who want to improve comprehension skills (Track 2). 

Do I need a teaching background to use this method?

Not at all. I guide you step-by-step with videos, explanations, and real teaching demonstrations so you feel confident, even if you’ve never taught reading before.

How much time will I need to commit?

Most lessons can be done in 15–20 minutes a day. You can go faster or slower based on your child’s needs and your family’s schedule.

Does the course include materials and books?

I’ll give you book recommendations and printable resources to make teaching easier. Most materials are items you already have at home or can easily access.

What if I have questions while using the course?

You’ll have access to our private support community where you can ask questions, share wins, and get feedback directly from me.
