How do I know this will work for my child and I?
Your child has strengths upon which we will build to increase his/her confidence as a reader. During my 10+ years of classroom experience as a reading and writing teacher for kids ages 4-8, I have seen kids progress as readers, regardless of current reading ability.

You need a laptop or Ipad.
My child is nervous. Will this work?

A: I understand that you are a busy mom, and life happens. Kids get sick, you get sick, the unexpected occurs. Please make your best effort to meet at your chosen time. Send me an email as soon as you can if you must reschedule.
Does my child need to attend?
You will begin the Confident Reader Kick-Off call by sharing reading concerns and goals you have for your child. I will invite your child to complete a kid-friendly phonics assessment with me. Then, I will share next steps for phonics lessons and reading support that makes sense for your child.
