"You Don't Need to Become a Reading Teacher to Help Your Child Read"

Bonnie Wallace

Bonnie Wallace

Author, creator of We Can Books, and founder of Confident Readers.

When I created We Can Books, I started with a simple question: How can we make learning to read more engaging, personal, and joyful for young children?

Building a four-volume personalized phonics series took me deep into how children learn to read and the evidence behind effective early literacy instruction. Since then, I've created more than 300 supporting reading activities and spent years thinking about what helps young children learn — and what gets in their way.

Along the way, I realized something just as important: parents desperately want to help, but often don't know what to do.

There's conflicting advice, unfamiliar terminology, pressure from school and the nagging worry that your child might be falling behind. Most parents don't need another curriculum — and they certainly don't need to become reading teachers themselves.

They need someone to help them understand what matters, what to do next, and when they can stop worrying.

That's why I created Confident Readers.

It brings together evidence-informed reading guidance, personalization and practical support in one place — helping you meet your child where they are without turning your home into a classroom.

My goal is simple: to help you feel confident helping your child become a confident reader.

Reading support that fits real family life

Just a few minutes can make a difference
No catching up if you miss a day
Get extra guidance whenever you need it
No curriculum or complicated lessons to follow
Use what you already have at home whenever possible
Know when to worry — and when not to
PERSONALIZED TO YOUR CHILD

The more you share, the more helpful your guidance becomes.

Confident Readers learns from what you tell us about your child's skills, progress, interests, and challenges — so your guidance can keep adapting as your child grows.

What should I focus on today?
09:51 PM
Today, focus on helping your child hear each sound, blend slowly, and experience a short successful reading moment. Small, positive practice builds skill and confidence without making reading feel like a test.
09:52 PM
We only have five minutes tonight, and my child is tired after school. Can you adjust today’s activities so reading still feels manageable?
09:52 PM
Absolutely! I’ll shorten today’s plan to one sound warm-up and a few carefully chosen decodable words, with permission to stop early. Your child will still practise the next important skill while protecting energy and confidence.
