OUR APPROACH
Reading science, translated into routines a family or classroom can actually use — not another binder that sits on a shelf.
Every recommendation is grounded in the same evidence base schools use for structured literacy—phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension—adapted to fit the time and energy a real household or classroom actually has.
Evidence-based, not trend-based
Every routine traces back to the research on how children actually learn to read — no fads, no shortcuts.
Practical over theoretical
Sessions end with a routine you can start that night or that Monday — not a stack of homework to decode on your own.
Partnership, not a handoff
Dr. C works alongside teachers and parents rather than around them, so support carries from classroom to home.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Ready to talk about your child’s reading?
Your first session is a conversation, not a sales pitch — no obligation, no ranking list.
