Pinwheels has your learner making their own reminders for spelling, word study, etc. Kids can easily flip through their notebooks and reference these as needed. My Pinwheels student never once had to memorize as much as over time she naturally remembered everything.

When you first buy Pinwheels, it may feel overwhelming to look at all of the pieces. But they have a guide that tells you exactly what to do with each pdf. Once everything is prepped it’s super easy! The way I have things organized it takes me less than 5 minutes at the beginning of each unit to grab what we will need. I am NOT an organized person by nature and I needed easy because this was our first attempt at homeschooling. It really is scripted and easy once you get going.

Rooted in Language is a comprehensive program that teaches reading and writing in such a fun way. Everything is so colorful and engaging. Anytime I had a question or needed help they responded quickly. I also love their Facebook community. It is easily searched to find the answer to a question or to see how someone else is doing a concept. Excellent!

Buying the resources already printed has been so helpful for me! It has saved so much time and even if life gets crazy and I don't have time to create the resources they are already there for me. This has prevented me from skipping a days worth of lessons and helps me stay on track.
I love love love the Pinwheels program!!

I vividly remember three years ago when I felt completely hopeless that my teen would ever be able to spell. Then I found RiL! The progress and growth is truly unbelievable! I still get tears in my eyes as I reflect on how far he has come and it's only because of this AMAZING curriculum! I remember when his Vowel Chart only had short vowels and I thought how far we have to go and he was already 14 1/2! But he moved so quickly because of his age, determination, and this flexible curriculum. We filled the Vowel Chart over a year ago and he's used it over and over again. I still love seeing this filled up Vowel Chart! And I know it's lodged in his brain because his spelling has improved so, so much. Shout out for Pinwheels and Foundations! Another fundamental aspect of his progress is Intentional Copywork. I love, love, love Roots Entwined! Another priceless class from RiL. RiL is life-changing and we're forever grateful!!!

I wanted to send you guys the biggest thank you for everything you are doing for struggling learners and their parents. You are a true gift, and you will never know how much you have changed the life of my struggling learner and in turn changed mine. I taught 2nd grade reading in a school district that was DEEP into F&P during my teaching career. I then decided to stay at home with my kids and we eventually began homeschooling. My oldest two boys were able to catch onto and love reading through this whole language approach (thank goodness because it was all I knew!). My third son struggled from the beginning with what I know now was all signs pointing to severe dyslexia. I didn't know where to even begin... until I found you guys! It has taken him almost 5 grueling years to complete all 4 Levels of Pinwheels.... BUT HE DID IT!!! And the best part is he absolutely LOVES to read and narrate and discuss books! He still has a lot of work to do in his writing, but we have focused greatly on that for the past few months and he is making huge leaps there, too. It brings my husband and I to absolute tears when we see him pick up a 300 page book, take a deep breath, and transport to a world we never ever thought he would get to participate in. We will never be able to thank you guys enough. Throughout his five years, we were also shown the huge gaps that were in the foundation of my older two boys. Just listening to Pinwheels everyday taught them so many things that they never learned in their K & 1st grade years at public school. And on top of all that!!! My 6 year old boy has completed Pinwheels 1 & 2 and just started Pinwheels 3. He is not a struggling learner and it is a totally different experience to do Pinwheels with him. He is soaring and growing so fast because of the amazing foundation that it is laying. I cannot wait to start Pinwheels with their 2 year old baby sister when it gets to be her turn. Your hard work has completely changed our homeschool and given me the confidence to work alongside all of my kids at their own pace and through their own struggles. I would recommend Pinwheels (and all of your products) to absolutely anyone, anytime. The gift you have given my son is absolutely irreplaceable, and I am forever grateful. Thank you for unteaching and then reteaching all of us reading teachers out there. I have attached a picture of my Pinwheels graduate, current Pinwheels user, and future Pinwheels user just to show you the joy you bring by sharing your skills with the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I would highly highly highly recommend this program, I have not found anything like it. I am a former public school teacher; one reason we chose to homeschool was to teach our child to read. I went to countless trainings about how to teach reading but there wasn't a true comprehensive ELA program out there that taught the concepts together, with fidelity, and in a scope and sequence based on the research of reading and language acquisition for children in a developmentally appropriate way....until I found Pinwheels. I can't recommend it enough and the training videos are incredible if teaching your child to read is something new to you. Also you only need this one program for all of ELA....think reading, phonics, writing, handwriting, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and other programs I see get purchased and put together. I love the move to the course set up online to print by unit, it felt a lot more easy to organize.

I got my undergrad in early childhood education and have learned more about literacy and how the brain learns to read from working through PW level 1 with my son than I did my *entire* 4 years at college. It’s hard to make a curriculum that rich and insightful open and go, but I’ve found that I need less preparation time as I’ve become more familiar with the curriculum. Prepping manipulatives, readers, etc in advance will take time up front but it does make it easier to jump right in each week. The educator’s guide is scripted, so you aren’t having to figure out how to explain everything.

I just love Pinwheels so much. It has been such a game-changer for my learner. I could cry. We have had an amazing first half of the year together and I'm really grateful.

Rooted in Language is just the best curriculum for language arts for us! Let me tell ya I have been around the block with curriculum picks. But this is GOLD and I get teary just preparing lessons from it because of how wonderful it is!! Look at this beginning reader!!! What a world is opening up for her!!

We are in [Pinwheels Year 2] Level 3, Unit 9, and the write your own story project has really captured my son's imagination. He's 10, and has learning disabilities due to epilepsy. Learning to read and write has been such a difficult journey, but he's excited, and writing more than I knew was possible! I'm just so thankful.

Thanks to Pinwheels, language arts is my daughter’s favorite subject. I have seen so many improvements that have bolstered my daughter’s confidence, I have had tears in my eyes on multiple occasions. Thank you for this wonderful curriculum!!

A big ole THANK YOU to Rooted in Language for the Pinwheels curriculum! We live in Florida and just had our annual evaluation. Our evaluator was blown away with Pinwheels. She has been a teacher and evaluator for 20+ years, but said she has never seen a better curriculum used for kindergarten language arts. “Your son will remember this for the rest of his life. These lessons are so hands on and multimodal!” Looking forward to starting Year 2 of Pinwheels next week!

Great multi sensory literacy program for adhd child

My daughter was struggling through a curriculum that wasn't right for her. She lost all confidence in her ability to read until I started using Pinwheels. This has been amazing for our homeschool and I am so happy to continue!
