Different year. Same story. 🤍

A child who doesn’t feel confident reading deserves a safe place to learn, grow, and become independent.

✨ We’re here to help your child build the skills and confidence they need to become a reader.

As a kindergarten mom (actually, mom of 4 and 3 months post-partum) + literacy specialist, these are the 3 things I’d be paying close attention to when it comes to learning to read in kindergarten 👀📚

1️⃣ Struggling to learn letters
2️⃣ A family history of reading difficulties
3️⃣ A history of late talking and/or speech therapy

🚨 None of these automatically mean a child will struggle to read, but they can be important pieces of the puzzle.🧩

Are you a kindergarten parent? Or is your child older and struggling but you remember what they looked like in kindergarten? What were the earliest signs you remember if your child has been diagnosed with dyslexia? 👇🏻

🚨 Parents and SLPs: If a child is struggling to read, this is the message we wish everyone heard sooner.

Please don’t assume they just need to “practice more.”

There’s often a reason reading feels so hard, and knowing what to look for can change everything. 👀

Parents: What’s the #1 thing you wish you had known about reading difficulties sooner?

Homeschooling, but wondering if you're doing enough? ❤️

Maybe you're brand new to homeschooling and feeling overwhelmed.

Or maybe you've been homeschooling for years, but something about your child's reading or language skills has you wondering, "Are we on the right track?"

We are a homeschooling friendly office that gets these questions a lot, and you don't have to figure this out alone! ❤️

For $25, we're offering homeschool literacy screenings (can be done in-person or virtually) designed to give homeschooling families information about where their child is right now, and what skills may be worth focusing on this year.

Sometimes, the best thing to do isn't add MORE, and more reading practice isn't always the answer. You may just need to know what to teach next!

Our goal?

📚 Understand your child’s strengths
🎯 Identify specific skills to target
🧭 Feel more confident in your homeschool plan
💡 Know when additional support may be helpful

No pressure. No judgment. Just useful information to help you feel more confident moving into the school year.

You know your child best. Let us help you understand their skills a little better.

$25 homeschool screenings are now available. ❤️

📩 Message us ([email protected]) to learn more or reserve your screening.

Yesterday, we celebrated something pretty special!!!

Amelia is a speech graduate! 💜

Miss Meagan had the following to share about her time with Miss Amelia!

“Watching this sweet girl grow in confidence and never give up has been such a joy. Every sound, every word, and every milestone was earned through determination and lots of hard work.
So proud of you and all you've accomplished.”

Amelia we are so, so proud of you!

👉🏻Let’s set the record straight-

Before your child enters kindergarten, do we expect them to know all of their letters and sounds? 🚌

No. 🚫

💡But, if your child has been in a setting where this skill is being taught and you aren’t seeing retention, we may want to take a look.

💨In general, kids learn alphabetics fast. If we find a child makes inconsistent, slow growth then it’s time we provide more (🧠especially if there is a family history of reading challenges/or history of speech/language delay)

👀Notice how we aren’t focusing on memorizing letters in alphabetical order? No flash cards here. It’s important to help young kids “latch” on to more than memorizing letters without context.

🥳👏This young learner? She went from knowing 8️⃣ sounds in December, to2️⃣3️⃣ sounds just 3 months later thanks to Ms. Hannah‼️ Just two times/week for 30 minutes 😱
