Remote Elementary Reading Tutor
Learning to read should be engaging and fun while following your child’s interests. One to one reading instruction can help your child catch up a whole grade level in as little as two months.
“Like ripples radiating across the surface of a pond when a pebble is tossed in, kindness is powerful and has far-reaching, positive ramifications that bring about a tremendous sense of joy.”
― Laurie Buchanan, PhD
Introducing a Revolutionary Reading Solution for Your Child’s Success!
Do you see your child struggling with reading?
Are you worried that they’re falling behind their peers, despite their intelligence and potential?
As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to witness your child’s frustration and embarrassment when they compare themselves to others at school or their siblings at home. Reading has become a chore, leaving your child feeling inadequate and defeated. It’s taking a toll on their self-esteem and engagement in learning, affecting every aspect of their young lives.
You’re not alone in this journey.
Many parents like you are meeting with teachers, attending 504 meetings, and feeling like something is wrong with their child. You’re eager to help, trying to support them at home. However, sometimes you’re faced with books that are simply too difficult, causing your child to retreat further into their shell. After spending 6-7 hours at school, they come home exhausted, craving fun and relaxation.
The disheartening news that your child is below grade level or ranks in the bottom 10 or 20% of the class only adds to your worries. Your child hears their peers reading fluently, and their self-esteem takes another blow. Kids can be cruel, and it’s no wonder your child starts believing, “I’m not smart, I’ll never get this, and I can’t do it.” They’re frustrated with themselves and feel like everyone is losing patience with them. They even question why reading matters at all.
As a parent, you begin to question yourself, wondering if there’s something wrong with your child. The desire to help them becomes a desperate plea. You long for your child to not only enjoy reading but also excel at it. You want to provide the support they need, to nurture their love for books and learning.
