The complete reading, spelling & handwriting system for kindergarten through 5th grade
Do the math: your child uses this from kindergarten through 5th grade, so $147 works out to $24.50 a year. The workbooks are written in erasable ink, so when a younger sibling is ready, you wipe the pages and start again instead of buying anything new.
💰 Families spend $1,000+ per child on separate grade-by-grade reading, spelling, and handwriting programs. Code Breakers covers all three in one bundle you never have to buy again.
Most kids are told to memorize words. Code Breakers teaches them the spelling rules that explain why English words look and sound the way they do, through spy-mission workbooks and tracing cards with grooves kids can feel as they write. When a child understands the rule, they can read and spell thousands of words they have never seen before.

Why a teacher turned homeschool mom built Code Breakers
Jenna Coleman spent years evaluating curriculums, first as a classroom teacher, then as a homeschool mom of twins. She kept finding the same two problems: subjects sold separately when the research says they should be taught together, and "grooved" workbooks from overseas manufacturers with shallow grooves and zero educational substance.
So she built the system she couldn't buy: reading, spelling, and handwriting taught together, the way the Science of Reading intended.
"When I dug into the Science of Reading, reading and spelling were designed to be taught together. The only reason I looked at them separately was because of the separate curriculums I'd purchased over the years." Jenna Coleman, Founder of Grooved Learning
The curriculum bill most parents never add up
Reading, spelling, and handwriting curriculums are sold separately, used up in a year, and repurchased for every child. Most parents never sit down and total it, so here it is.
The typical route 😓
- Reading curriculum$200+/yr
- Spelling curriculumsold separately
- Handwriting curriculumsold separately
- Workbooks are consumablere-buy yearly
- Each child needs their own set× every child
Founder's experience: curriculum stacks can approach $500 per child in a single year once every subject is purchased separately.
The Code Breakers route 🎉
- Reading + spelling + handwritingall included
- Covers kindergarten – 5th gradeone purchase
- Reusable pages & cardswipe clean
- Works for every child you havesiblings share
- Only thing you'll ever re-buyjust the pens
$24.50 per school year. With two kids sharing the set, about $12 per child per year.
Three things most parents were never told about how kids learn
None of this is about pushing your child harder. These three findings change how quickly everything clicks, and most curriculums ignore all of them.
Reading, spelling & handwriting are one skill
Curriculum companies sell them as three separate subjects, one per grade, per year. In your child's brain they're the same skill: reading takes words in, spelling and writing send the same words back out. Teaching them together means every lesson reinforces the other two.
Small daily chunks beat long sessions
Young brains build skills through frequent, short repetition, the same way kids learn to ride a bike. Fifteen focused minutes a day moves a child further in a month than an hour every Saturday, and nobody ends up frustrated or in tears.
Spelling tests ≠ spelling
Kids can't memorize every word in English. A child who crams word lists forgets them. A child who understands the code behind the words can read and spell words they've never seen.
"Reading is the most difficult thing our brain will ever learn to do. When you break it down systematically into little parts, reading and spelling become so much more doable for any child." Jenna Coleman, Founder
Why tracing grooves beats staring at flashcards
Kids learn best when more senses are involved. Code Breakers layers touch on top of sight and sound, so every lesson lands three ways instead of one.
Feel the sound
Deeply grooved letters let kids trace and physically feel the shape of each sound, building muscle memory that flashcards can't.
Crack the code
Workbook missions apply those sounds to real words through systematic, explicit phonics, the method structured literacy classrooms are adopting nationwide.
See instant feedback
The grooves guide the pen, so kids see and feel when a letter is right without a parent hovering over every stroke. That feedback builds independent, confident learners.
"Children can spot busy work a mile away. As soon as something feels like busy work, they're done with it in a week." Jenna Coleman, Founder
15 minutes a day. That's it.
Most families try to make up lost ground with big weekend study sessions. It backfires. Short daily practice is what works, and it's a lot easier to stick with.
3 hours on Saturday 😮💨
Kids burn out halfway through and start dreading it. After a few weekends like that, the workbook ends up in a drawer with all the others you've bought.
15 minutes a day ⚡
One mission page, a few sound cards, and you're done before anyone loses focus. Kids actually want to come back tomorrow, and that daily practice is what adds up.
"That is the hill I would die on. Fifteen minutes a day beats three hours on a weekend, every time." Jenna Coleman, Founder

Missions track mastery, never grade level
Every child starts at Mission 1, a kindergartner and a fourth grader alike. Older kids simply move faster. Starting at the beginning is how the system catches the hidden gaps in spelling and reading that hold kids back for years.
Mission 1: Phonemic Awareness
Letter sounds, blends, digraphs. A 4th grader might clear it in weeks; a kindergartner takes the scenic route. Both come out gap-free.
Mission 2: Syllable Types
The 6 syllable types that make "sneaky" spelling rules predictable, so kids decode new words with confidence.
Mission 3: Syllabication
Division strategies for longer, more complex words: the bridge to smooth, accurate upper-elementary reading.
"I have children starting Code Breakers in fourth grade, and they still start at Mission 1. The goal is a complete understanding of our written language, with no gaps." Jenna Coleman, Founder

Jenna tried the cheap imported groove books. Her kids gave up on them within a week.
Jenna used imported groove books with her own children for years before building her own. The idea was right. The execution wasn't: shallow grooves, random word lists, zero educational design.
| Imported groove books | Code Breakers | |
|---|---|---|
| Groove depth | Shallow, easy to slip out of | Deep grooves that truly guide the hand |
| Written by | Overseas manufacturers | A certified teacher with a Master's in Education |
| Content | Random words & busy work | Systematic Science of Reading curriculum |
| Scope | Tracing only | Reading + spelling + handwriting together |
| Kid verdict | Abandoned in a week | Missions kids ask to come back to |
You're never teaching alone
Every bundle includes full access to the Digital Mission Hub: exclusive videos, printables, and support materials for every mission. QR codes inside the books link straight to video help, so when you get stuck, the answer is one scan away. Teaching experience required: none.
"You don't have to know it all. You're learning right alongside them, and your children are inspired when they see you willing to learn." Jenna Coleman, Founder
"My child can read now. Aren't we done?"
The moment reading clicks feels like the finish line. It's the starting line. The elementary years are when spelling and reading gaps form without anyone noticing, then show up later as shaky spelling, slow reading, and shrinking confidence.
Code Breakers works as a gap-checker through all of K–5: each mission confirms the foundations are actually there, then builds the next layer on top. You use the same $147 set to check and build those skills for all six years.
