I entered graduate school as an optimistic 21 year old excited to make a difference in children's lives.

Little did I know that the reading philosophy being taught at my university produces dismal results. Unfortunately, I am the rule, not the exception. Generations of teachers like me were misguided, but today we see hope. 

As an undergraduate, my favorite elective was Developmental Speech and Language which relied on brain research to provide insight into how we learn. For thirty years I wondered why teachers, administrators or curriculum publishers never referenced brain research when discussing literacy. 

I did everything I could think of to help my students and my own children but there was no clear path, no specific instructions.

My instincts told me that what I had been taught in my credentialing program wasn't working but what was the alternative.

Finally, eight years ago, three decades into my career and two decades into parenting, I began working as a consultant for a reading program that made sense. It was crafted around research and evidence. It provided a certain path to success.

Most parents were taught to read using a failed system. I believe you deserve the truth about reading presented in a manner that makes sense to parents. I am dedicated to providing strategies so families can live their lives with Less Stress, More Success!
