THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
Does this sound familiar?
Your child guesses words from pictures instead of reading.
Your child knows sounds but still gets stuck reading words.
Reading ends in frustration — and you’re unsure what to teach next.
You’re not failing your child. They may just need books using sounds they know — for decoding instead of guessing.
WHY KIDS GUESS
Cover the picture.
Still reading? That’s real decoding. Each story uses sounds taught at that stage, so your child reads the letters — not the picture.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. Every night.

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Why I built Lilo Avenue
For 16 years, I taught first grade and watched capable kids guess words from pictures — because that’s what their books trained them to do. The children who improved fastest practiced with stories made only from sounds they had already learned.
That’s why I created Lilo Avenue: the at-home reading system I always wished I could give parents. Every page shows you exactly what to say, and every story helps your child read the letters instead of relying on the picture. Just 10 minutes a night.
