Our Philosophy

  • I LOVE teaching children!
  • Having taught phonics to young readers for over 20 years, I recognize that each child learns at their own pace. Some children need a fast pace, some need a slower pace.
  • There is no wrong pace when your child is enjoying learning
  • I created this program to give children the opportunity to learn at their own pace.  A child can move on to the next lesson whenever ready.  If a child needs more practice with a letter, the lesson can be repeated until mastery occurs.  Each child can work at their own pace without worrying about going too fast or too slow.
  • I believe that learners need constant encouragement and praise as they work and learn
  • I strive to boost confidence through verbal recognition and praise throughout each lesson
  • Children need praise! As your learner participates in each lesson, I am consistently praising their efforts
  • I will talk to your child, encouraging their work and modeling pronunciation and handwriting to build confidence.  When a child is happy and confident, learning will happen.
  • If you tell a child they are smart, they will believe you!
  • Each of the phonics videos includes live instruction and a written component for practice
  • At the kindergarten level, I recommend one new lesson per week. 
  • Your child can set the pace for their own learning.
