I am a seasoned educator and reading specialist, empowering struggling readers from Kindergarten to Sixth Grade through evidence-based methods rooted in the Science of Reading. I personalize instruction, blending phonics, decoding, spelling, writing, and comprehension, fostering significant reading achievement. I have helped over 40 families move their child forward with their learning in the last 3 years. I have an established following on my Facebook pages where parents seek information about reading and tutors seek information on how to tutor online with little to no effort.

I have also made several guest appearances and led educational summits including IMPACT 6 and SOAR 1 and 2.

I get to celebrate my student success as they share all of their writing projects at school. Here is a recent blog post I shared with my families. I wanted to share it with you as well! The Dreaded Book Report Book reports can feel overwhelming—but they don’t have to be! Each week, I share book recommendations...

However, sometimes a speech issue will actually keep a child from using the pattern because they continue to say the word wrong. This week I ran into this same problem again and I made a quick video about it. Tune in here to learn more! 731 County Road 5, Oakland, NE 68045Unsubscribe · Preferences
