Turn "I hate reading" into "Just one more page"
Read Your Way matches kids ages 6–11 to short, pressure-free reads about the things they already love — sports, gaming, weird facts, and more — so real reading skills sneak in while they're having too much fun to notice.
"The moment a kid finds their reading world, you can't get them to stop — my whole job is just helping them find the door."— Kenan Godfrey

Pick Your World
The very first module exists to dissolve resistance before it starts. Students discover that reading is a doorway into the exact things they already love — sports, gaming, weird science, epic adventures — not something done to them. By the end, they have a personal interest profile and have completed one low-stakes, self-chosen read, proving to themselves that this feels nothing like schoolwork.

Short Reads, Big Moments
PREREQUISITE GAP FILLED — Before tackling vocabulary or fluency, students need low-pressure repetitions of the act of reading itself to build the habit loop and prove that sessions are genuinely short and enjoyable. This module establishes pacing expectations, introduces the concept of 'reading for a reason you actually care about,' and layers in the first silent confidence-builders. It directly addresses the reluctant reader's core fear: that reading will be long, boring, and hard.
- 2.1Two-Minute Reads Are Real ReadsIncluded
- 2.2Choose It, Own ItIncluded
- 2.3Read Without StoppingIncluded
Words Are Power-Ups
Vocabulary is framed entirely as collecting upgrades, not memorizing definitions. Every word is encountered first inside a passage the student already chose and cared about, so meaning is always anchored to real context. Students build a personal word collection that grows across the curriculum and belongs to them.

- 3.2Context Clues Are Cheat CodesIncluded
- 3.3Your Personal Word CollectionIncluded
Read It, Feel It, Flow
Fluency is developed entirely through the pleasure of reading content the student loves, not through drills. Short repeated reads, expressive read-alouds framed as performance, and momentum-building passages progressively stretch reading smoothness and confidence without ever labeling a student's current level.

- 4.2Short Reads, Big WinsIncluded
- 4.3Read Without StoppingIncluded
What Did You Just Learn?
Comprehension is practiced as a natural, social, low-stakes act — telling someone something cool you just read, not answering questions on a test. Activities are framed around retelling, sharing, and organizing ideas in ways that feel useful and satisfying, not evaluative. Sequencing of details and identifying what mattered most are both treated as storytelling skills.
- 5.1The Tell-Someone TestIncluded
- 5.2What Happened First, Next, LastIncluded
- 5.3Key Details Are the Good StuffIncluded
Reading Is Just Something I Do
The final module consolidates everything into a durable, self-sustaining reading identity. Students are not told they are readers — they arrive at that conclusion themselves through evidence: a growing streak, a full Word Vault, passages they chose and finished, and a genuine memory of enjoying it. Autonomy and pride are the twin engines of this module.

Who it's for
Is this you?
The Sports-Obsessed Kid
They know every stat but won't open a book — until the books are about their team.
The Gaming Fanatic
If it's got lore, strategy, or weird game facts, they'll read every single word.
The Homework Resister
Reading feels like school — this school makes it feel like anything but.
The Confidence-Shaky Reader
They can read, but they don't believe it yet — low-pressure wins rebuild that fast.
The Weird-Facts Collector
They live for wild trivia — and context-clue vocab hidden in cool passages is their jam.
The Busy Parent
Two-minute sessions that actually build skills mean you don't need an extra hour in your day.

Kenan Godfrey
Hey — if you're here, I'm guessing you've had some version of The Reading Standoff. You ask your kid to read for 15 minutes. They groan. You remind them. They negotiate. You end up reading to them just to get through bedtime, wondering if something is wrong or if they'll ever just like books.
Nothing is wrong. I promise.
Here's what I've seen over and over again: kids who "hate reading" are almost always kids who haven't found their reading world yet. The kid who won't touch a chapter book can tell you everything about Minecraft redstone circuits or recite batting averages from memory. That's not a reading problem — that's a match problem. They haven't been matched to the right content. That's the entire premise of Read Your Way.
Inside this school, we start by letting kids pick their own universe — their interests, their obsessions, their favorite rabbit holes. Then we serve up short, high-interest reads that feel like a cheat code, not an assignment. Words get introduced as power-ups, not vocabulary lists. Comprehension becomes the "Tell-Someone Test" (and trust me, they will tell you). Streaks and stamps make progress feel like something worth bragging about. By the time we get to the last module — You Are a Reader — kids aren't just reading more. They believe they are readers. That identity shift is everything.
I built Read Your Way because I believe the world changes for a kid the moment reading stops being something that happens to them and starts being something they do. You don't need more homework battles. Your kid doesn't need more pressure. You both just need a different door in. Come find it with us — I think you're going to love what's on the other side.
