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

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