The Reading Doctor

Not sure if your child is actually “on track” in reading… or just getting by?

I’ve had a lot of parents lately say things like:
• “They can read… but something feels off”
• “They guess a lot of words”
• “They hate reading but I don’t know why”

So I made something simple.

It’s a quick Reading Milestones Guide and K–3 Reading Check you can do at home in about 10 minutes that looks at:

✔ sound skills
✔ phonics
✔ fluency
✔ comprehension

It’s not overwhelming and not a test — just a way to get a clearer picture.

I'm sharing it with families, homeschool pods, and micro schools--at no cost.

✨ If you’ve been wondering if you should be concerned… this is a really good place to start.

I’m exploring partnerships with a few local homeschool pods, micro-schools, and small private schools that would like additional support strengthening their reading instruction and intervention support.

My background is in reading and literacy education, and I work with programs to help:

• identify reading skill gaps
• support struggling readers in small groups
• review current literacy programs and assessments
• design structured reading support systems
• provide practical training for teachers or parent educators

Many smaller programs want strong literacy instruction but don’t always have access to a reading specialist.

If you lead or are part of a homeschool pod, micro-school, or small private school and are interested in strengthening your literacy support for students, I’d love to connect and learn more about your program.

Feel free to comment or message me.

Valrico / FishHawk parents — quick question.

If your child is bright but reading still feels harder than it should, you’re not alone.

Many families tell me: “I don’t know if this is normal or if we’re missing something.”

That’s exactly why I offer Reading Diagnostic Evaluations and Parent Strategy Consults — to help families understand what’s really going on before jumping into tutoring or guessing.

In one focused session you’ll get:
✓ clear explanation of strengths and gaps
✓ insight into reading patterns (including ADHD/dyslexia concerns)
✓ practical next steps you can actually use
✓ language for talking with teachers or schools
I’m opening a small number of evaluation spots this month.

If clarity would help your family right now, comment READING or message me.

Not every family needs tutoring.

Sometimes what parents really need is someone to interpret school data, explain patterns, and help them prioritize what matters.

That’s exactly what my Reading & Learning Strategy Consults are designed for.

Message me if you’d like details.

It’s exhausting to feel like you should “do something” about reading, but not know what that something is.

Many parents tell me they feel stuck between waiting it out and overreacting.

I offer Reading Diagnostic Evaluations to help families move from uncertainty to clarity — without pressure or judgment.

If this sounds familiar, I’m happy to share details.

Report cards can provide data — but they rarely explain why a child is struggling or what kind of support will actually help.

I provide individualized Reading Diagnostic Evaluations designed to offer families a clear, nuanced understanding of their child’s reading profile — including strengths, gaps, and strategic next steps.

These sessions are intentionally limited to ensure depth and quality.

If you’re interested in scheduling, I’m happy to share details privately.
