A Simple 3-Step System That Turns You Into Your Child's Best Reading Teacher
No teaching degree. No complicated curriculum. No hours of prep. Just 5 minutes a day, a short video, and a workbook. That's the whole system.
How the Phonics Plus™ Method Works
3 steps. 15 minutes a day. 1 confident reader.
You Watch 🎥
Ms. Jeannie records a short video lesson for each step. She tells you exactly what to teach your child, exactly how to say it, and exactly what to do. No guessing. No prep. Just watch, and you'll know exactly what to do when you sit down with your child.
Each video is just a few minutes long. You can watch it while your coffee brews.
You Teach 📝
Grab the workbook, sit down with your child, and follow the pages together. Everything is laid out step by step...what to say, what to point to, what to have your child trace or write. You're not making it up. You're following a proven path.
This is the part your child will love. It feels like quality time, not school.
They Succeed 🪜
Each lesson builds on the one before. Your child moves from letters to sounds to words to sentences to full reading fluency. They never skip ahead. They never fall behind. Every step is earned, and every step feels like a win.
By the end of Level 0, your child will know all 26 letters by name and sound, and be able to write every single one.

If You've Ever Thought "I Don't Know Where to Start"...You're Not Alone
Most parents want to help their kids learn to read. But somewhere between the overwhelming number of apps, the conflicting advice, and the guilt of "am I doing enough?"...it starts to feel impossible.
Sound familiar?
😩
"I don't have a teaching background"...so I feel like I'm guessing
😔
"We tried other programs"...and my child lost interest or got frustrated
⏰
"I don't have hours to teach"...I just need something quick and effective
🤷♀️
"I don't know what level my child is at"...or where they should even begin
The good news? There's a completely new way.

Meet Mrs. Jeannie
After 30+ years of teaching children to read and homeschooling four daughters of her own, Mrs. Jeannie noticed something that bothered her...most reading programs weren't built for parents. They were built for classrooms. Too complicated, too scattered, and way too boring for little ones.
So she created the Phonics Plus™ method. Everything she wished she'd had when her own kids were little...short video lessons that show you exactly what to teach, step-by-step workbooks you just open and follow, and a clear path from letters all the way to reading full sentences.
No teaching background needed. No overwhelm. Just five minutes a day with your child, following a system that's already helped thousands of families.
