Getting Started

Making it easier to meet

them where they 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:

  • Understand the language they hear

  • Recognize the language they see

  • Express language in daily life

That’s 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 on repetition and routine, have difficulty understanding spoken language without extra support, and do best with familiar words.

How Reed meets them: Simple language, strong visual and symbol support, repetition, and multisensory experiences that connect what they hear, see, and feel.

What this helps with: Recognizing words, identifying objects and actions, understanding simple directions, and communicating everyday needs.

💫 Phrase Seekers

Best for learners who are starting to understand and use single words or short word combinations

They often recognize familiar words, are beginning to combine them, and learn best when language connects to actions, objects, and clear visual cues.

How Reed meets them: Short, meaningful phrases and hands-on experiences that help learners connect words to actions, descriptions, and relationships.

What this helps with: Making choices, describing things, understanding questions, combining words, and following familiar directions.

🏄🏼 Sentence Shapers

Coming Fall ‘26

Best for learners who are beginning to build short sentences and need help making sense of sentence structure

They often communicate in phrases or simple sentences but may struggle with grammar, word order, longer directions, or questions like who, what, and where.

How Reed meets them: Connected language and visual sentence supports that make grammar, word relationships, and sequences easier to explore.

What this helps with: Understanding sentences, following multistep directions, answering questions, explaining events, and navigating social situations.
