Getting Started
Making it easier to meet
them where the are.
3 simple questions, no evaluations.
When reed understands your learner’s relationship with language, it can dial in and emphasize the building blocks based on how:
Understanding the language they hear
Recognizing the language they see
Comfort expressing language in daily life
Thats all you need to get your learner off to the right start – and as they grow Reed will help you decide when to switch up or down.
🏄🏼 Word Surfers
Best for learners who are at the very beginning of connecting words to meaning
They often use few words or word parts, rely a lot on repetition and routine, have a hard time understanding spoken language without extra support, and do best with very familiar words
Meeting them where they are usually means they need very simple language, strong symbol support, repetition, rhythm, and lots of help linking what they hear, see, and feel
💫 Phrase Seekers
Best for learners who are starting to understand and use single words or short word combinations
They often know some familiar words, are beginning to combine words, and learn best when language is tied to actions, touch, and clear visual cues
Meeting them where they are usually means they need help linking words + actions, support staying focused on key meaning words, and short, clear phrases they can experience in a hands-on way
🏄🏼 Sentence Shapers
Coming Spring ‘26
Best for learners who are are beginning to build short sentences and need help making sense of sentence structure
They often speak in short phrases or simple sentences but may get confused by grammar, word order, longer directions, or question words like who, what, where
Meeting them where they are usually means they need support understanding how words fit together in a sentence, plus help with grammar, sequence, and comprehension
