ABOUT USTraining ConfidentParentsEducatorsTeachers

Yellow Tree Reading Academy exists to put the Science of Reading into the hands of the people who teach it — educators, therapists and parents. We train, we equip, and we walk the road with you.

OUR VISIONEvery EducatorEmpowered

Our dream is to equip and empower educators, therapists and parents with the knowledge and skills to confidently and effectively teach children with reading and language delays — and to give them the resource material to do it.

01

Empower the educator

Teachers, therapists and parents are the key to reading success. We equip them with the knowledge, methodology and confidence to teach reading intentionally and systematically.

02

Ground everything in science

Every course, book and game is built on the Science of Reading — structured, explicit and multi-sensory instruction that builds the neural pathways reading requires.

03

Make it practical and playful

Research only matters when it reaches a child. Our resources are hands-on, fun-filled and ready to implement in the classroom the very next morning.

04

Leave no reader behind

We meet learners exactly where they are — from pre-readers to struggling senior-primary readers — so every child experiences success, confidence and a love of reading.
