I see the late nights spent trying to figure out how to help your kid learn to read and write, trying to understand the concepts of decoding, encoding, reading disability, dyslexia, phonics, and the list continues.  I see how overwhelming the first ARD meeting is and I know the jargon can be extremely overwhelming. I see the moment you realized your multilingual learner's struggles were even deeper because he or she had reading disability.  The weight of knowing your student needs something different, something targeted, something that works faster, but not knowing where to find it.

 

           I've spent 20+ years listening to parents say, "I just want to understand what's happening with my child." I've watched educators struggle to write IEP goals for students who don't fit the textbook. I've seen specialists feel isolated, wondering if they're doing it right when working with emergent bilingual learners.

​

​          That's why this space exists. Not to showcase credentials or sell you another program. But to sit with you, listen to what you're facing, and help you figure out what actually works for your child or your students.

​​

          Because literacy isn't about programs and assessments. It's about that moment when a child's face lights up because they finally understand. And getting there requires someone who truly listens, truly understands bilingual learners, and is willing to walk alongside you until we find what works.​

​

You're not alone in this. Let's figure it out together.
