Big things are happening behind the scenes at 4C Learning Success this month — including some exciting work I can’t wait to tell you about. I’m shifting our free live session, Help Your Child Read in 5 Minutes a Night, to Thursday, December 3rd. Same session. Same promise. Just a better date for everyone — including our friends in the US who would have been elbow-deep in Thanksgiving prep one week earlier. 🦃 Mark it in your calendar and bring a friend who needs this. More details coming soon. 💙

You asked for games. Here’s one. This is a two-player phonics word battle — no printer, no pieces, no prep. Just open it on your phone and play. Here’s how it works: → Pick a short vowel skill → Each player secretly “hides” their ships by tapping words on the board → Take turns attacking — tap a word, read it out loud, and mark it a hit or miss → First to sink all your opponent’s ships wins ⚓ You can play with real words or flip it to nonsense words for a decoding challenge. Nonsense words are the secret weapon — your child can’t guess them from memory. They have to actually read them. Works great at the kitchen table, in the car on a tablet, or one-on-one with a friend. Link is in the Family Practice section. Let me know how it goes! 👇

🎉 First-ever live session in the LLL — and it's free. Help Your Child Read in 5 Minutes a Night 📅 Wednesday, November 5th · 8pm EST · Live right here in the community If you've ever thought "I want to help but I don't know what to do" — this is for you. I'm going to teach you one simple, research-backed activity that builds the exact skills the reading brain needs. We'll practise it together, live. You'll leave with something you can use that same night. No prep. No materials. Just show up. Drop a 🙋 below so I know you're coming — and share this with any parent who needs it.

New in the community — Family Practice Cards. Short, printable (or screenshot-able) tools you can use with your child at home. Starting this week, some lessons and Quick Win will have one attached. The first few are live now. Some exist in the Free Community, many exist in the Inner Circle. Go find them.
