Teach the skills.

Watch your reader grow.

Step-by-step, research-based reading resources that build real skills and confident readers.

🐝 A new name. The same people. The same mission.

If you know us as Droppin’ Knowledge with Heidi, you’re in the right place! We’re growing into Bumblebee Reading Co. bringing our literacy resources, training, books, and the Bumblebee Reading Vault (formerly LitFlix) together under one name.
Same evidence-aligned approach. Same resources you love.
Just a new home.

Phonics

Phonics helps kids understand the structure of our language which helps with both reading and spelling.  It is important to follow a scope and sequence when teaching phonics.

Decodables

Decodable means that kids are reading words, phrases, and sentences with phonics patters they have been taught. This eliminates guessing & allows kids to feel confident when reading!

Kindergarten Skills

This page will help you understand the alphabet and phonological & phonemic awareness and how to teach it. While these are skills kids should learn in preschool & kindergarten, struggling readers can benefit from them as well!

Sight Words

Sight words and high frequency words are not exactly the same thing. And brain science shows us that we do not have to memorize words to learn them. This page gives you more details & research about how we can effectively teach these words.

Go Inside the 🐝 Vault

We were tired of endlessly searching for quality resources & training in the Science of Reading. So, we built what we needed. Click here to check it out!

Together, we CAN change the literacy statistics

At Bumblebee Reading Co, we are on a mission to ensure that all kids have access to literacy resources aligned to the research. Just as bumblebees are essential for the humans & the earth, foundational reading skills are essential for growing successful readers. Our resources are intentionally created for parents and teachers working with K-2 students learning to read.

Over 60% of fourth graders are reading below a proficient level, but research shows that if we use the science, 95% of kids can learn to read. We can do this, together!
