MORE THAN JUST RESOURCES. REAL LITERACY SUPPORT.
I'm Lyndsey.
I'm Lyndsey Kuster—former first-grade teacher (love those toothless grins) turned curriculum developer with over 16 years in education. I’m here to be your literacy bestie! I’ve spent my career working closely with primary teachers and early readers, especially the kids who struggle with decoding, blending, and spelling.
I’m trained in Orton-Gillingham–aligned practices and deeply rooted in the Science of Reading. Everything I create is explicit, systematic, and easy to use, so you can spend less time piecing things together and more time helping your students learn to read with confidence.
“I work with teachers across multiple grade levels, and I always recommend Lyndsey’s resources. They’re aligned with best practices and work beautifully in any classroom setting—whole group, small group, or intervention!
– Tasha L.
“I’ve been teaching for over a decade, and I can confidently say these are the most well-thought-out resources I’ve ever used. The phonics centers are a hit with my students—they love the variety and challenge. And for me? No more late nights planning.”
– Michelle R.
“Once again, Lyndsey did not disappoint. I’ve prepared many of her materials to use with my after school tutoring students, and they are always excited when I bring out the folders and task boxes. Thank you for your dedication and hard work.”
– Charity A.
