“I finally feel hopeful and feel we have a positive direction forward… we now have clarity on what my child needs and a plan to help her.”

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Book Your Online Consult
Schedule your 60-75 minute virtual session and complete a brief questionnaire about your child’s reading and spelling.
2. Complete Simple Reading Tasks
You’ll receive a few short reading and spelling tasks to complete at home and return for review.
3. Meet for Your Reading Consult
During our session, we review your child’s reading, your goals and outline clear next steps.

Why I do this
I’m a reading specialist and national science of reading trainer working with parents of K–5 students—including homeschooling families who want to make those most of their chosen curriculum.
Reading specialists are often the first to recognize patterns in foundational reading skills that may signal underlying reading difficulties or potential dyslexia risk. Early identification and targeted instruction can make an enormous difference in long-term reading success.
Throughout my 20+ years in education, I’ve analyzed thousands of student reading profiles and helped families and educators understand what individual children need to become successful readers.
When something doesn’t feel right with your child’s reading, it’s hard to know why that is or what to do about it. I help you understand how reading works, so you can better understand your child’s reading profile, what may be getting in the way, and what to do next.
Less guessing. Less stress. Real progress.
