About

Helping families raise curious, confident readers

We're a small team of teachers, literacy specialists and parents who believe every child can learn to love reading — with the right support at home.

Our story

Tips & Tricks to Get Your Child to Read started at a kitchen table, when a frustrated dad and a first-grade teacher realized they were solving the same problem — parents wanted to help but had no idea where to start.

Today, we publish weekly guides, curated book lists, phonics resources and printable activities used by tens of thousands of families in over 40 countries. Everything on this site is free, ad-light and rooted in the science of reading.

Our mission

Give every parent the confidence and tools to raise a lifelong reader — regardless of budget, background or where they went to school.

What we believe

Evidence-first

Every recommendation is grounded in reading research, not passing trends.

Parent-friendly

No jargon. No guilt. Real strategies that fit real family life.

Book-obsessed

We read hundreds of children's books each year so you don't have to.

Independent

We accept no paid placements. Every book pick is one we'd hand our own kids.
