Strong Start Reading Groups (K–2)

  • Small-group reading sessions designed to build confident, capable readers through structured, research-based phonics instruction.

  • Led by a former first grade teacher with 15+ years of experience and training in the Science of Reading (LETRS).

Is your child still building confidence in reading?

Many early readers need more targeted support to fully develop phonics, decoding, and fluency skills. Without strong foundations, reading can feel frustrating instead of enjoyable.

These small-group sessions are designed to help students strengthen their skills in a supportive, engaging environment where they can build both ability and confidence.

  • • Phonics and decoding skills
    • Reading fluency
    • Word recognition and spelling patterns
    • Confidence and independence in reading
    • Foundational comprehension

    Instruction is aligned with the Science of Reading and tailored to meet students where they are.

  • • Former first grade teacher with 15+ years of experience
    • Trained in the Science of Reading (LETRS)
    • Experience supporting a wide range of learners, from ESL to advanced students
    • Small-group setting for personalized attention

    My goal is to provide structured, supportive instruction that helps students feel successful and confident in their reading.

  • • Small groups (3–5 students)
    • 45-minute sessions
    • Meets twice per week
    • Ongoing monthly enrollment

    Groups are intentionally kept small to ensure each child receives targeted support and is placed with peers at a similar level.

Reading Placement Session

Before joining a group, I offer a short reading placement session to understand your child’s current level and ensure they are placed in the right group.

This helps create well-matched groups where students feel comfortable, supported, and set up for success.

Looking for More Individualized Support?

In addition to small-group sessions, limited one-to-one reading support is available for students who may benefit from more personalized instruction.

Feel free to ask about this option when inquiring about placement.

Not sure if this is the right fit?

I’m happy to talk through your child’s needs and help determine if this program would be beneficial.
