Growing Readers at Home was created to empower caregivers with the knowledge, structure, and tools they need to effectively support their child’s reading development at home. Our workshop removes the guesswork and provides caregivers with a clear, step-by-step approach grounded in the Science of Reading.

Instead of relying on tutoring sessions once or twice a week, we teach caregivers how to deliver short, consistent reading lessons at home, where real progress can happen through regular practice.

Your child will be assessed using research-proven assessments to pinpoint where to begin instruction!

Why We Created Growing Readers at Home

Over the course of our careers, we have worked with many students who struggle with reading. While schools are increasingly providing explicit reading instruction, some children still develop significant gaps in their reading skills. Families often turn to tutoring for help, but tutoring sessions once or twice a week are often not enough to close those gaps.

When Laura first considered starting a tutoring business, she quickly realized something important: For many struggling readers, real progress requires frequent practice, often four or five times per week. Traditional tutoring simply doesn’t provide that level of consistent instruction. That realization led to a different idea.

Instead of tutoring students directly, we could teach caregivers how to deliver effective reading lessons themselves. Caregivers are with their children every day. With the right structure, tools, and support, they can play a powerful role in their child’s reading development.
