➥ You spend hours planning, but your lessons still don’t seem to work.

➥ You’re overwhelmed by all the advice out there and don’t know where to start.

➥ You have a child who is falling behind, and you’re afraid you’re not doing enough.

➥ You’re constantly second-guessing yourself and doubting your ability to teach reading.

➥ You love teaching, but the stress and burnout are taking a toll.

➥ You just wish you had a clear reading system to follow that actually works.

I get it.

Is Your Teaching System Draining Your Confidence?

Picture this:

You’re diligently filling a bucket with water, each drop representing your time, effort, and love for teaching.

But there’s a big, stubborn leak at the bottom. Every time you pour something in—like a fresh new lesson plan or a new resource—it vanishes just as quickly as it arrived.

It feels like you’re working hard, but the results just don’t seem to stick. You’re stuck in a cycle, trying to plug the leak, but it’s never enough.

Ever feel like you’re stuck in a cycle like this?

You want so badly for them to thrive, to watch them light up as they discover the magic of reading.

But instead, you're feeling overwhelmed with advice from all directions.

You’re trying to keep up with the calendar, filling your days with lesson plans, phonics drills, and activities—all in the hope that everything will just fall into place.

But the harder you work, the more you realize—you’re just filling that leaky bucket over and over again.

Here’s where it gets tricky…

You’ve been teaching how to make sounds into words, but the water’s leaking out of your bucket faster than it can be filled.

You’re checking off the boxes on your curriculum, moving from one lesson to the next, just to stay on track with the calendar.

But here’s the problem: your young learner has missed the crucial foundation—the alphabet sounds haven’t fully stuck.

The same sounds you’ve been blending into words are slipping right out of the bucket! OH NO!

The result?

When you go to put sounds into words, there’s a massive gap.

You have a child who’s leaking vital information because they didn’t fully master the basics—those sounds that should have been secured long ago are now just floating away.

The more you pour in, the more it leaks...

And that’s where the frustration starts to set in.

You fear they might fall further behind, and you wonder how to fix it without starting over.

But here’s the truth:

This isn’t just about filling a calendar with tasks—it’s about making sure that every drop counts and stays in the bucket.

What if you could stop the leak?

Instead of rushing through the curriculum to keep up with the calendar, imagine having a system where you could slow down, take a step back, and really focus on where your young learner needs the most support.

What if there was a simple, proven framework that ensured every sound they learned stayed in their bucket, building toward fluent reading with confidence and ease?

“Teaching by Design is more than just a reading system, it's a whole experience!"

"TBD has helped me analyze and shape my thoughts on reading success today and reading theories / beliefs that I learned in college. I am encouraged and more intentional with my teaching techniques as I create more games / activities to use in my virtual classroom. I am learning and building tried, tested, & true activities and best practices that actually work in teaching reading for success in young children.

This program is based on state standards and teaches me to understand them with ease. It is an effective application that can be automated and make my teaching life easier than ever. This system has reignited my passion for teaching and excited me to tell others about it. It has so much value and so many useful freebies. It has taught me how to write a more effective, fun lesson plan in less time, giving me time back to do other things.

No more long drawn-out, dreaded, boring weekends of planning. I am done with that! I am teaching smarter not harder and with more confidence and success. My principal, parents, and students are happy and so am I. I am finally teaching by design!"

“We created a weekly schedule for at home learning!"

"What I liked most was was the weekly schedule, this helps me a lot because I have an idea of what we will work on and it will keep me consistently on schedule... This includes story time; I definitely noticed a change in my daughter right away after implementing the interactive read alouds. We incorporated many hands-on activities included in Reading by Design; her favorite is the letter scavenger hunt!”

Think about all the time you will save

Why Your Reading Instruction Is Silently Sabotaging Your Child’s Future

(And How to Stop It Before It’s Too Late)

I see you as a dedicated woman.
You're not just another parent or teacher—you care deeply about unlocking the magic of reading for your child. But right now, something isn't working.

The Exhausting Reality of Teaching Reading

You spend countless hours planning lessons, but it still feels like you're shooting in the dark. Jumping from one free resource to another, trying to piece together a coherent approach.
Some days, it feels like you’re working harder than your child is learning.

Imagine another year passing, watching your child struggle while you feel:

➤ Overwhelmed by conflicting advice

➤ Uncertain how to help different skill levels

➤ Worried you’re failing the very child you’re trying to support

What Will You Lose by NOT Joining Teaching by Design?

Not Enrolling in Teaching By Design means...

“Joining Teaching by design was the best decision i ever made!"

“I joined the Elite Membership not really knowing how far behind my son was when it came to reading. All I knew was that every time I said it was time to do reading, he would moan and complain. I didn’t even realize that he didn’t know his letter sounds.”

“Aja worked with me and showed me that not only was he missing his letter sounds, but he didn’t even know his lowercase letters—just the uppercase. She broke it down real simple for me, and that made it easier to start teaching him the right way. I really liked how detailed the course and her coaching was—it helped me feel like I could do this even without a degree.”

“With her support, his complaining went down and we actually got somewhere. Now he finally has some of the same joy for reading that he always had for math. In just a month, he knew all his letter sounds and we moved into Phase 2 of Reading by Design. Now, I know exactly what to do with my son, and I’m so grateful. Aja has given me the tools, the plan, and most importantly, the confidence to teach. She truly was God-sent.”

“I feel like i'm on the winning team!!!!!!!”

“Aja saved my life. I was becoming burnt out and contemplating returning to middle school because the workload was TOO GREAT as an elementary school teacher. Now, I’m excited that I have SYSTEMS in place that will allow me to teach with fidelity.”

"In this program, I have become knowledgeable and confident to teach concepts with a rinse and repeat method. In the trainings, I love how there are always multiple options to fit everyone’s classroom needs. I’m excited everyday that everything has already been planned out for me. I just need to teach it. WIN WIN!!!! "

“I was able to earn higher scores on my evaluations and my student's reading scores and levels increased over 50%!”

"For the first time in 20 years, I received a low score on my teacher evaluation. I was ashamed, hurt and disappointed. I then started working with Mrs. McNair. She was innovative, caring and very knowledgeable of the curriculum. She took out the time to model how to teach.  After being trained, I earned higher scores on my evaluations and my students reading scores and levels increased over 50%. I know that Aja McNair is a great teacher, encourager, and does all these things with fidelity and a positive attitude."
