Reading Mastery: What is it? Why We Chose It and Our Strategy and Goal

East Hills Academy is proud to use Reading Mastery Signature Edition (RMSE), a reading program built entirely on the science of reading. This means we don’t leave learning to chance; instead, we use a proven, step-by-step approach that teaches children exactly how to connect sounds to letters and build them into words. By focusing on the essential building blocks of literacy—phonics, fluency, and vocabulary—we ensure that every child develops a rock-solid foundation from an early age. It’s a highly active way of learning where students are constantly engaging with their teacher, making sure they stay on track and feel successful from their very first lesson.

We chose this program because we believe every child deserves to be a confident, capable reader. RMSE is designed to meet every student right where they are, providing small-group instruction that allows teachers to give immediate, supportive feedback. Whether a child is just starting to identify letters or is already beginning to read stories, this curriculum ensures they master each skill before moving to the next. Our goal is to take the “guesswork” out of reading, giving your child the tools they need to unlock a lifelong love of learning and academic success.
