Worried your child is struggling to learn to read?
You don't have to figure it out alone. Learn how reading develops, understand what your child needs, and learn simple, evidence-based strategies you can use at home—so reading practice becomes more confident and less stressful.
Led by Meg and Mary-Anne, Ontario Certified Teachers.
Does reading time feel harder than it should?
You might be wondering:
- Why does my child keep guessing at words?
- Why can they read some words but struggle with others?
- What am I supposed to do when they get stuck?
- Am I practising the right things at home?
- How can I help without turning reading into a battle?
You're not alone—and you don't need to be a teacher to help.
We make learning to read easier to understand.
We help parents understand how children learn to read—and exactly how to support that learning at home.
Through practical parent workshops, hands-on practice and personalized support, we'll show you what to focus on, how to practise it, and what to do when your child gets stuck.
Learn the why. Practise the how. Support your child with confidence.
Why parent coaching matters
One session can teach a skill. Consistent practice helps make it stick.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission’s Right to Read Inquiry reviewed extensive research on how children learn to read and emphasized the importance of explicit, systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, word reading and fluency, along with opportunities to practise these skills.

A child may work with a tutor once a week, but reading development happens over time. Children benefit from frequent, consistent opportunities to practise the skills they are explicitly taught—which is why what happens between sessions matters so much.
That’s why we don’t just teach your child—we coach you.
We show parents what to practise, how to practise it, and how to support their child confidently at home, so the learning continues between sessions.
Our goal isn’t to turn parents into teachers. It’s to empower parents to become confident partners in their child’s reading journey.
Hi, We're Meg and Mary-Anne
We are Ontario Certified Teachers and moms of two. We are Full-Day Kindergarten teachers and are passionate about early literacy.
We built these workshops and tutoring services because we kept meeting parents who wanted to help their kids read but weren't sure how. You don't need to be a teacher to raise a confident reader. You just need the right approach and support.
Real families, real "aha" moments.
I finally understand why my daughter was guessing every word. After one session I had a plan — and two weeks later she was blending on her own.
Meg and Mary-Anne make the science of reading feel doable. No jargon, no pressure, just clear steps I could use that night at bedtime.
Worth every minute. Our home reading time went from tears to giggles. My son actually asks to practice now.
As a teacher myself, I was impressed. Evidence-based, warm, and practical. I've recommended it to every parent in my class.
