our free workshop for parents of kindergartners, first & second graders to build strong, confident readers.

Make Reading Click

This workshop is for you if:

  • You're the parent of a kinder, first, or second grader who wants to champion your child's reading journey.

  • You want to support your child’s reading without frustration, bribing, or tears.

  • You’re worried about the summer slide and want to keep your child on track.

  • Your child has fallen behind and you need a clear plan to help them catch up.

  • You’ve tried sight words, memorization, or guessing strategies, but reading still isn’t clicking.

  • You want science-backed strategies that actually work (without hours of worksheets).

  • You want to make reading fun and engaging, not a daily battle.

  • You’re looking for simple, daily routines that fit into your busy life.

  • You want your child to walk into the next school year feeling confident and capable.

  • You’re tired of guessing what works and just want a plan that makes sense.

If any of this sounds like you, this workshop is exactly what you need!
