Please keep in mind: Who is Marvi’s Way® for? The Marvi’s Way® Novice Program is designed for students from PreK through grade 1, as well as for older learners who need help with simple, one-syllable words. Modules 1–5 are perfect for students in grade 1 and above, especially those who find longer, multisyllabic words challenging. What does the program offer? Marvi’s Way® uses proven, evidence-based, step-by-step lessons to build reading, spelling, and writing skills. The program empowers parents, tutors, and educators to help students succeed confidently and reach grade-level literacy skills. How does it work? Each lesson includes up to seven easy-to-follow parts: Phonemic Awareness, Sounds/Spellings, Blending (decoding), Dictation (spelling), Sight Words, Reading (fluency), and Creative Writing. Lesson routines are consistent, making it easy for both students and instructors to follow along. Each lesson ends with decodable stories and poems at different reading levels, keeping students interested and reinforcing both new and previously learned skills. Supporting materials and tools Printable Sound/Spelling Cards, along with Elkonin Tokens and Boxes (available for purchase in the catalog), make learning easier and more fun. Use these tools to build skills and confidence, or turn them into games for extra practice. You will find helpful tips for English learners throughout the Novice and Modules 1–5 programs to support their success at every step. Cumulative word lists at the end of each lesson provide additional practice and opportunities for students ready for a challenge. Flexible options and extra support If your older students need extra help, you can use the Novice Program alongside Modules 1–2 for flexible support. This approach helps older or struggling students catch up to grade level more quickly and confidently.

See what educators and literacy experts say about Marvi's Way® “…The graphics are attractive, and the stories and poems that children read are engaging and rich in interesting vocabulary. Marvi has created a MARVelous set of tools with which any child should be able to learn to read.” — Louisa C. Moats, Ed.D. “…the connected text, which is extraordinary in terms of its breadth and depth. The creator uses such simple, decodable words that I never thought of employing in such wonderful, innovative, and lyrical ways! I also really like the comprehensive aspect of it. My tutees get to practice sounds and high-frequency words with a nice rhythm of decoding and encoding, and a little motivating smile to fill upon completion. …” — Amanda Tinnin, MA TESOL “…Most impressive is the phonemic awareness piece of the program. I have searched and searched for phonemic activities that grow with students' skills, and this program incorporates them into each lesson, including those for multi-syllable words. This program will benefit both tutors and classroom teachers, as well as small groups and homeschool families. It really is how an effective reading program should be — easy, effective, enjoyable, and “I have been teaching for 27 years and am extensively trained in the science behind teaching reading! These materials are consistent with the research and are an amazing resource for tutors, parents, and even teachers. ….The materials are comprehensive and provide the scope and sequence needed to help any child to read, including children with dyslexia. … I highly recommend Marvi's Way: A Guide to Reading and Spelling.” — Kimberlie Reed, Elementary School Teacher “Marvi has done an excellent job creating a tutor program that is educational and easy to use for tutors and yet doesn't oversimplify the complexity of teaching reading. …The front matter of the guides includes detailed information on the multi-part lesson structure, which remains consistent throughout but adds complexity over time. Suggestions for lesson enhancements, along with tips and video examples, are embedded throughout. The instruction is sequential, explicit, cumulative, and offers practice opportunities, which are lacking in many programs. The phonemic awareness activities increase in complexity, attending to higher levels of phoneme substitution, deletion, and addition. I could go on and on, but I'll end with arguably the most brilliant component that she adds about halfway through the lessons – Part 7, Creative Writing/Syntax. This component begins by requiring children to create different sentences using pre-written phrases, helping them see how the meaning of the sentence changes when the phrases are ordered differently. To add complexity, in later lessons, the creative writing becomes more free-form, allowing students to write in response to optional question prompts at both the recall and inference levels using the informative decodable texts. Anyone looking for an easy-to-use and high-level program to tutor students in reading, look no further than Marvi's Way.” — Dale W.
