Support!
yes pleasE!
Supporting parents and primary teachers to cultivate confident young readers - whether ready to read or those striving to put the pieces together - using a specialized choice based model.
The S.M.A.R.T. and balanced literacy approach will have your students excited about literacy time because there is no rotation timer going off that interrupts their learning flow or rushes them to complete work.
Students have the freedom and autonomy to complete literacy practice skills in the order they prefer.
Peers become great resources in supporting each other.
Real world reading application occurs through meaningful MAY DO tasks.
All of this allows literacy time to run smoothly and gives teachers back the space, time and calm environment to teach small guided reading groups.
Literacy time will be a highlight of the day EVERY DAY for both students and the teacher.
Literacy time with you seated behind a kidney bean table teaching small guided reading groups while you look around your classroom and observe…
Students deeply immersed in working on various phonics skills spread throughout the room.
Calm music playing in the background that never pauses for an irritating literacy center timer.
Zero or few teacher questions because students know their peers are wonderful resources and seek others for support and help.
Books open, smiles wide and student book bins full of books students are eager to engage with.

After School
Learning to read can be incredibly rewarding and fun, but it can also be a lot to wrap your head around when wanting to support your young reader.
You may find yourself in one of three camps:
Camp 1 - Your child may be showing you signs they are ready to read and you want to support them.
Camp 2 - Your child may be just learning to read. So far it is smooth sailing and you want to support them on this journey to ensure calm water ahead.
Camp 3 - Your child has started to learn to read but appears to struggle and needs additional support. You find yourself desperately wanting to help them but you are not sure where to begin or what they are actually struggling with. You just know that reading isn't clicking for your child like it is others.
Not to worry. I’ve got you! No matter which camp you reside, it’s all going to get a lot clearer.
As a primary teacher, I've spent my entire career teaching students how to read. I even taught my own child to read too. Phonics and reading are my jam. But oh golly, do I remember my first few years as a teacher and how confusing reading instruction felt, even with a curriculum.
Let me take that guess work out of it and provide you with 5 Steps to Teaching Reading at Home. This guidebook will give you the necessary information to support your young reader!
