Helping children become skilled, confident readers.
Literacy intervention for children ages 5–10
Who This Support Is For
This support is helpful for students who:
• experience difficulty with reading or decoding
• benefit from structured skill development
• need reinforcement of foundational literacy skills
• seek growth in fluency, comprehension, or confidence
• benefit from individualized reading support
If this sounds familiar, a consultation can help determine whether literacy support would benefit your child.
When Reading Feels Difficult
For some children, learning to read does not come easily. When reading feels frustrating or overwhelming, students may begin to lose confidence in their abilities.
With the right support and instruction, children can strengthen foundational skills and begin to experience reading with greater confidence and success. Targeted literacy intervention helps students build the skills they need while creating positive learning experiences along the way.
Structured Literacy & Reading Development
Learning to read is one of the most important milestones in a child’s development. When reading feels difficult, children often experience frustration, reduced confidence, and a growing sense of discouragement.
I am a former 1st and 2nd grade classroom teacher with six years of experience teaching early literacy in public schools. I hold a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education and have extensive training in early literacy instruction and reading development. My instruction uses a balanced, evidence-based framework that integrates explicit phonics instruction, phonemic awareness, guided reading, fluency development, comprehension, and writing.
Students develop strong decoding skills while also building fluency, comprehension, and confidence.
Each session is structured, individualized, and designed to meet the specific learning profile of your child.
How Progress Happens
Instruction is guided by ongoing observation and assessment to ensure that each student continues building skills steadily over time.
Initial Consultation
We begin with a consultation to discuss your child’s learning profile, reading history, and goals. This helps determine whether targeted literacy support would be beneficial.
Structured Instruction
Sessions focus on explicit instruction in foundational literacy skills, including phonics, decoding, fluency, and comprehension. Instruction is individualized and paced to match each student’s needs.
Ongoing Progress Monitoring
Students are informally assessed each month to track growth. Families receive periodic progress updates so they can see how skills are developing over time.
