You don’t need expensive curriculums and academic-based preschools to prepare your kids for future learning success
More information isn’t always best.
40% OF STUDENTS ARE ENTERING KINDERGARTEN WITHOUT THE SKILLS TO SUCCEED
If your child is struggling with their letters, there are SO many options out there. It's a crowded space. It’s overwhelming…but it’s also filled with a lot of materials that actually set your child back.
Most parents unfortunately don’t know the difference between activities created by a reading specialist to help their child succeed and lessons reinforcing the exact problems that are causing your child to stumble.
These materials may have great marketing teams, but the results for your child are phony.
For example, did you know that emphasizing letters “in alphabetical order” is one of the easiest ways to confuse your child, yet most materials use the alphabet song as a foundational exercise.
When really, the letter sounds are much more important to understand than their names and what order they go in.
If the building blocks of these foundational skills found in the basics of the alphabet aren’t in place by kindergarten, children are playing catch up from the very beginning.
But flashcards and other drills don’t honor a child’s development.
What you need is a way to effectively weave the alphabet into the everyday parts of growing up…w
ithout disrupting the magic of childhood.

So, what happens if we don’t address letters and sounds in early childhood?
kids can begin the most defining years of their academic life already feeling that they’re behind. The social-academic struggle of being compared to other children or being pulled out of the classroom for remedial instruction is damaging to a child’s confidence. If the building blocks of these skills aren’t in place by kindergarten, children are playing catch up from the very beginning.
Alphabet knowledge is one of the strongest predictors of reading success and it’s one of the first experiences kids have learning literacy.
My goal is to equip parents to properly and effectively weave this into everyday childhood (when these skills are supposed to be taught!) that feels both easy to you as the parent and fun to your child. We are not disrupting the magic of childhood.
