What Happens On The Call


We'll talk about what you're seeing at home — what's hard for your child, what's confusing, and what worries you most.

I'll share what skills kids typically have at this age, so you can see where your child might need extra support.


I'll explain how I work and whether my approach would be a good fit for your child's specific needs.


And you'll walk away with a clear next step — whether that's booking an assessment, trying a few strategies at home, or exploring other options.


Just honest insights from someone who's spent years helping early readers build confidence.

Why Parents Are Booking This Call

If your child:

  • Avoids reading
  • Guesses at words
  • Seems unsure of letters and letter sounds
  • Seems to be falling behind classmates



Many Kindergarten and Grade 1 parents tell me:

"I'm trying to help with letters and sounds, but I'm not sure I'm doing it right."


"We practice... but it's not sticking."


"I don't want my child to feel frustrated this early in school."


You are not alone


At this age, reading foundations matter, and how they're taught matters too!


Online one-on-one support means:

  • No driving across town
  • No guessing what to practice
  • No wondering if you're making it worse


Early reading gaps don't fix themselves -

But with the right support, they can close the gap, so your child can regain their confidence

Why Kids Love My Style of Reading Support


I use specialized NILD methods designed specifically for struggling readers to build reading confidence in a way that’s exciting and fun. There truly is no better way to learn.


I work with students one-on-one, giving them space to share what’s on their minds and release their frustration so they can move forward.


When your child feels safe, supported, and understood, learning finally begins to click.


“She takes time to sit with us, sound out words, listen to us try, and cheer us on when we get it right.” — Payton


“She’s patient, kind, and always makes us feel proud for how far we’ve come.” — Nevaeh


And yes — the kids love calling me Gramma Kate.
