Foundational Reading & Literacy Support

Helping children build strong reading skills while fostering confidence, mastery, and joy as readers.

Learning to read is one of the most important milestones in a child’s life, and many children benefit from individualized support to strengthen foundational skills such as phonological awareness, decoding, spelling, fluency, and comprehension.

Rachel provides explicit, structured, and evidence-based instruction that meets each child where they are and supports steady, meaningful progress over time.

She specializes in supporting students in Pre-K through Grade 5 who benefit from targeted instruction to strengthen reading skills such as:

  • Phonological awareness

    the ability to hear and work with the sounds in spoken words

  • Decoding

    reading words by connecting sounds to letters

  • Spelling

    writing words using sound-letter patterns

  • Fluency

    reading smoothly, accurately, and with expression

  • Vocabulary

    understanding and using the meaning of words

  • Comprehension

    understanding and making meaning from text

Each 1:1 session is warm, individualized, and thoughtfully designed to help children feel supported, confident, and successful as readers.
