How I Help

You don’t need to become a teacher to support your child’s reading.I help parents understand how reading develops and make sense of what they’re seeing at home or hearing from school.My role is to bring clarity and reassurance so reading support feels calm, informed, and doable.


What I believe about reading

Children learn to read in clear, predictable stages. When parents understand those stages, reading worries tend to soften.Reading struggles aren’t about intelligence or effort. They usually signal a need for clearer instruction or different support.Parents don’t need to push harder. Calm, accurate information makes the biggest difference.


Who this support is for

Parents of young readers who want to support reading at home without pressure, second guessing, or confusion.
