Get Reading! is led by CEO and Founder Margaret Bertram. Margaret Bertram is a literacy and reading specialist with expertise in how reading and writing skills develop, an experienced teacher and literacy consultant, and has particular expertise in teaching struggling readers. She taught for more than 25 years in primary school classrooms in Australia and spent years researching and trialing different methods of teaching kids to read, especially those for whom reading did not come easily. She then spent 15 years in a coaching role helping teachers teach reading in both Australia and the US, including 10 years consulting in New York City schools and other locations around the US for a large education consulting firm in New York City. She has 40 years in education and extensive research into effective reading instruction.
The stated mission of Get Reading! is to make every child a reader and to address what it describes as a crisis in education in America and around the world, focusing on children who are still unable to read despite others’ efforts. The program describes itself as being on a mission to make every child a reader. Toe by Toe is described as a highly effective, systematic, explicit phonics-based reading program in a $40.00 book, written for dyslexic readers, non-readers, struggling readers, students with SLD, autistic students, and anyone 8 years and above, and has been used to teach kids to read for over 30 years. Toe by Toe sessions use a manual with coach instructions on the left page and student exercises on the right page, require only the book, a pencil, and a timer, and involve no lesson preparation, extra materials, post-session assessments, or reports.
Get Reading! states that its tutoring includes a First Week Free (5 sessions value) and a money-back guarantee tied to reading success, and it describes itself as Phoenix’s highest rated and most reviewed tutoring service. The program uses Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction (EBLI), which it describes as the fastest and most effective program to teach a child to read, write, and spell in just a few months. It states that Get Reading! students graduate on or above level in reading, spelling, and writing, usually in a matter of only a few months, and that the program can work with just an hour or two per week of instruction. The Reading Rescue program is described as being designed for parents to teach their own child to read, with options for Get Reading! to coach the child or help find a tutor.
Get Reading! provides resources for parents of newborn babies through school-age children to support language and reading readiness, and offers training for parents and tutors in how to use Toe by Toe and how to teach a child to read. It also provides support at home for homeschoolers and for families unable to manage the educational needs of a child with reading problems. Reading SUPERNANNY is described as a one-stop reading concierge service that manages a family’s educational needs, including tutoring, homework sessions, educational assessments and therapy sessions, school selection, and even picking children up from school. Services are available through in-person support, Zoom calls, online courses, and by training someone in the family’s area. Reading Rescue school projects are run during the school day at times that suit the school and aim to ensure every child in a school becomes a reader. Toe by Toe won a “Best in Class” award, as described by Margaret Bertram.
