Teach your child with play + based on a structured literacy approach. 

Hi families!

I taught my child to read using the same methods I teach Parents. My child began reading at age 3.

Let's teach your child to read together!

An early reader's brain is a sponge

Most families will intentionally start their child's reading journey when their child can speak. 

Every child and family is different. Regular, early exposure to books, read alouds, sounds awareness in words, and language games will build a child's interest in early literacy skills. Reach out if you have any questions about whether to get started!

Learning to Read is a Long Game, not a Race.
