Are you interested in strategies to enhance reading comprehension for your struggling reader but don't know where to start?
I've been there.
​
I struggled with reading comprehension through most of my childhood and adolescence but...
​
It doesn't have to be a struggle, because there are academic research-based, tried and true, comprehension strategies that REALLY work.
Does this sound like you?
I'm a tutor, teacher, or parent with a child between the ages of four to ten who is struggling to read
​
I'm a tutor looking for fresh ideas for my students to help them achieve reading success at their grade level
​
I'm a homeschooling parent looking for resources that compliment my workbooks with hands-on reading activities
​
I already juggle work and home and need activities readily available to laser focus my homeschooled child on the five reading comprehension strategies
​
I want to know the best reading list paired with enrichment activities to enhance reading comprehension
​
I'm willing to invest time with my student because it means life-long reading success as they internalize the five strategies and begin using them independently
​
I really want to see my child become a booklover and read more books
I've tutored struggling readers for decades and these are the same strategies I used to take students from reluctant reader to booklover
I love sharing knowledge with other educators, whether they are tutors, homeschooling parents, or classroom teachers, to help our youngest learners be successful
I believe hands-on learning is the best way to engage students to own their learning process
I did the research and developed this video course to give back valuable time to tutors, homeschooling parents, and classroom teachers
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts Degree with an Emphasis in Elementary Education, and Certified Literacy Specialist
