Hi! I’m Wendy, founder and CEO of SkyRocket Reading.
During my first year teaching 2nd grade, I quickly realized I didn’t actually know how to teach my students to read, and I panicked – their future was dependent on me… and I didn’t have the tools to help them!
I did the best I could with the textbooks my school provided, but their methods were clunky and confusing. I was determined to find a better way.
Thankfully, I met Lynne Hanson, creator of the curriculum that would later become SkyRocket Reading, and I knew immediately that I had found the very best way to teach reading! I studied with Lynne, learning and certifying in her unique curriculum.
I used her reading system to teach my own four children to read, and it was so fun!
I loved seeing their confidence grow as they learned the concepts so fast and experienced the joy of reading!
I started teaching others’ children to read, and they loved it too!
In 2023, Lynne asked me to carry on her legacy.
I feel so honored that she chose me.
Throughout my career, I’ve taught hundreds of children.
I will show you what it takes to build a child’s confidence and reading ability with our fantastic curriculum.
Confidence comes through repeated success, and that’s why SkyRocket Reading works!
I can’t wait for you to experience SkyRocket– the best way to teach reading.
You’re going to love it!

Lynne Hanson
Author & Creator
For over 40 years, Lynne has taught hundreds of children to read.
It all began when Lynne was a resource teacher and noticed how frustrated her 2nd – 6th grade students became while trying to learn to read using a confusing curriculum.
The reading rules always seemed to change… No wonder it was so difficult for them!
Additionally, these students were often considered ‘discipline problems’, simply because of their difficulty learning.
It just didn’t seem fair.
Lynne became determined to make the how-to-read process easier and faster for all students.
She studied and discovered unique patterns to English words that became the beginning of her unique reading curriculum. She developed a system that teaches beginners how to read in a clear, organized sequence of skills.
We are so grateful for Lynne’s vision, tenacity, and commitment to giving the gift of confidence to hundreds of children by developing and teaching this amazing curriculum!
Some children zing through the process and others take longer (students aren’t robots!), but all are successful! She has not yet found a child she could not successfully teach to read.
Thank you, Lynne!
“At the beginning of the Summer, Lyla couldn’t read one-syllable long or short vowel words. Now she correctly reads hundreds of one-syllable words, and even multi-syllable words too, thanks to SkyRocket Reading! She’s so happy she can read now, that she comes in daily during her free time to read our SkyRocket books.”
