Back to school is here 🎒

Which means early mornings, packed lunches, homework, after school activities, remembering where everyone needs to be, and wondering how those relaxed summer routines disappeared so fast 😂

I get it. September is a lot.

If you could use a little help getting everyone back into the swing of things, the Back To School Bundle is open now.

It's packed with free resources for kids, parents, teachers, and homeschool families. Routines, organization, meal planning, confidence, big emotions, homework, calmer mornings, plus reading, writing, math, and science activities.

You don't need all of it (please don't try!). Browse, grab what would make life a little easier for your family or classroom, and leave the rest.

Completely free through September 10th.

🎒 Comment Bundle and I'll send you the link!

Happy National Read a Book Day! 📚⁠
⁠
For a lot of our kids, "just read a book" isn't simple. Decoding is hard work, and when reading feels like a chore, the joy gets lost.⁠
⁠
So today, take the pressure off. Read to them. Read with them. Put on an audiobook in the car. Let them pick something way below their level just for fun. Hearing stories still builds vocabulary, background knowledge, and a love of books, and that matters just as much as sounding out words.⁠
⁠
There are many ways to enjoy a good book. Which one will you try today? 👇

Raise your hand if you've ever had a student who "passed" the phonics screener and still can't read the sentence in front of them. 🙋⁠
⁠
Yeah. That gap is exactly what next week is about.⁠
⁠
The Science of Reading Summit™ kicks off Monday, July 20 through Thursday, July 23, and it is four days of the information elementary teachers need to help their students. Not theory that sounds nice on a slide. Actual resources and strategies from literacy teachers, reading specialists, and interventionists who sit next to struggling readers every day and also figure out what actually works.⁠
⁠
Here's the week:⁠
⁠
📚 Mon — Foundational skills and word-level instruction⁠
🧩 Tue — Diverse learners and differentiation (my people 💛)⁠
✍️ Wed — Comprehension, writing, and the whole child⁠
🎓 Thu — Live masterclass with host Delilah Orpi on the READS Framework⁠
⁠
Completely free. Your ticket gets you 48-hour access to each day, so you can watch at 6am with coffee or 9pm in your pajamas. ⁠
⁠
If you teach the kids who need a teacher who can really help them, clear a little space next week. It's worth it.⁠
⁠
Comment READING and I'll slide the registration link into your DMs. ⁠

Have you heard these myths before? ⁠
⁠
Dyslexia doesn't affect that many kids. ⁠
It's not really that common. ⁠
I'm sure I don't have kids with dyslexia in my class. ⁠
⁠
Actually, according to the Yale Dyslexia Center, 20% of the population has dyslexia. ⁠
⁠
This means, if you have a class of 20 kids up to 4 kids could have dyslexia. And not know it. ⁠
⁠
Dyslexia is also the most common of the learning disabilities diagnosed. 80-90% of all learning disabilities diagnosed are dyslexia diagnoses. ⁠
⁠
It is the most commonly diagnosed of the neuro-cognitive disorders. ⁠
⁠
Every teacher needs a working understanding of dyslexia, and how to get dyslexic students your classroom the help they need. ⁠

Oof, read that one again.

Did you know that having strong reading skills doesn't necessarily make someone a reading expert?

While being a good reader is an important foundation, being a reading expert involves deep knowledge of literacy instruction methods and strategies. It involves years of study and professional learning as well as a focus on the science of how our brains learn to read.

If you're a literacy teacher, tutor, or mom looking to enhance your students' reading skills, let's connect! Drop a comment below or send me a DM to explore how I can support you on this journey. ❤️

Truth. ⁠
⁠
It's painful, but if a child can't read the words in front of them, they can't comprehend what they're reading. ⁠
⁠
This leads to delays in vocabulary, comprehension, knowledge and frustration. School is a really unfun place when you can't read. ⁠
⁠
Just ask some of our clients. ⁠
⁠
If the goal of reading is comprehension and learning, decoding is a key element. ⁠
⁠
We don't hand kids a musical instrument and ask them to figure it out. So why would we do that when teaching a kid to read?⁠
⁠
Tap the ❤️ if you agree.

“For the first time ever, my child asked me if he could read in bed before going to sleep!” ⁠
⁠
That’s the kind of literacy progress that makes parents of struggling readers stop in their tracks. You don't realize your child wasn't doing it until they do —and it’s why we're here.⁠
⁠
When struggling readers get the right kind of tutoring, everything changes:⁠
👉️They finally ask to read for fun.⁠
👉️They start reading street signs out loud in the car.⁠
👉️They surprise you by reading their own birthday cards.⁠
⁠
These aren’t just “cute” moments. They’re signs of something much bigger—confidence. 💪⁠
⁠
Confident readers want to read. And confidence comes from explicit structured, evidence-based tutoring that builds skills step by step, skill by skill.⁠
⁠
If your child is struggling, don’t wait and hope it gets better on its own. Every day of practice matters.⁠
⁠
👉 Comment Consultation below and I’ll send you a free link to book an online consultation. Let’s talk about your child’s needs and how we can help them reach milestones like these.

For some of us learning to read is easy. ⁠
⁠
I honestly don't remember how I learned to read, but by family lore I was one of the lucky ones. The code clicked, and I read early and easily.⁠
⁠
I traveled a lot as a kid. My parents tell a story of having to take me at a young age to dinner in Paris during a trip. At the time, Parisian culture did not welcome taking kids to dinner so they got a lot of looks. But I pulled out a book and sat and read quietly so it all worked out. ⁠
⁠
But, reading is not natural. It has to be taught. ⁠
⁠
60% of kids need explicit instruction in learning to read, and even then it is hard work. ⁠
⁠
When we read, we see letters which have associated sounds. We blend those sounds to read the words. And as our skills increase we can do this faster and faster, orthographically mapping the words so that we are not decoding each word sound by sound. ⁠
⁠
But phonemic awareness is a key skill needed to be an effective reader. We have to be teaching it, especially to our struggling readers. ⁠
⁠
There's been a debate in the field of literacy with phonemic awareness lately. Should phonemic awareness be taught orally or with letters? ⁠
⁠
Tell me how you teach phonemic awareness in the comments. 👇
⁠
And if you'd like to share your learning to read story, I’d love to hear that too! 📚️
