I'm a parent, too.

I know first-hand how packed your calendar and to-do list are, and I've designed Toddlers Can Read with your family in mind.

Easy Access

You get on-demand access to your course(s) on any internet-enabled device, so you can go at your family's pace and watch the course anytime, anywhere. 

Easy Approach

Each course includes step-by-step lessons and printable guides so you can feel confident you're on the right track.

 

Easy Activities

I help you make learning fun, just two or three minutes at a time, so even super wiggly kiddos stay focused and attentive.

 

Smart questions from caring parents

What if I need additional support?

I love supporting families! After purchasing the course, you can opt-in to our private community where I host weekly live Q&As, monthly challenges, and add bonus lessons for additional support. You can also email any time with questions and I’ll be happy to answer.

How do the courses work?

We offer on-demand, video-based courses that you can watch via our online platform or mobile app. 

Each course includes about 90 minutes of instructional video lessons and downloadable handouts to make teaching easier.  As you work through the content, you'll have opportunities to practice what you learn with your child.

Are the courses for me or for my child?

The courses are for YOU and will teach you how to teach your child to read.

Are the courses only for toddler parents?

No. Learning to read is all about STAGE- not AGE. Which means you select a course based on the skills your child has now and what they need to  learn next, independent of their age or grade level.

Imagine when your child can read to you.
