Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons Remote Trainings Announced - January 2027

Teach Your Child to Read Remote Training Banner

Join us for a one-day remote training on Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons (TYC). Participants will learn how to deliver TYC lessons effectively, apply mastery criteria, use correction procedures, and implement appropriate remediation strategies.

TYC provides a carefully sequenced progression of foundational reading skills that takes beginning readers from early phonemic and decoding skills to increasingly complex reading tasks. When implemented with fidelity, TYC advances students from beginning reading skills toward reading proficiency at approximately a 1.5 grade-level equivalent.

This training is relevant for anyone responsible for teaching or supporting beginning readers, including:

  • Classroom teachers
  • Reading interventionists and special education teachers
  • Tutors and high-impact tutoring programs
  • Parents, caregivers, and early childhood educators
  • Educational and literacy organizations serving beginning or struggling young readers 

Participants will practice delivering and receive feedback on TYC lessons using the prescribed lesson routines.

Two session dates to choose from! January 8th or January 16th.

What is a Peer Coach?

Peer coaches play a critical role in sustaining strong implementation of Direct Instruction (DI) at the school level. Selected during the first year of implementation, peer coaches are classroom teachers who demonstrate strong instructional practice, effective communication with colleagues, and a willingness to support others. Because they teach the same programs as their peers, they bring practical expertise and shared experience that help build trust and collaboration across the school.

As implementation progresses, peer coaches extend the impact of NIFDI consultants by providing ongoing, school-based support when consultants are not on-site. Their coaching is non-evaluative and focused on improving student outcomes. Peer coaches reinforce effective teaching practices and guide colleagues to make targeted adjustments that directly impact student performance and behavior.

Peer coaches participate in a structured, multi-year training sequence through NIFDI. Over the course of two to three years, they are trained to analyze student performance data, conduct both brief and extended classroom observations, and support data-driven problem solving. Advanced training prepares them to lead grade-level meetings and contribute to broader instructional planning with school leadership.

By developing peer coaches, schools build internal capacity to maintain and strengthen DI implementation over time—ensuring continuity, supporting new staff, and driving sustained student achievement.
