Celebrating 12 Years of Total Reading Transformation

For over a decade, Total Reading Transformation has been a place where students can build reading skills, grow in confidence, and discover what they're capable of achieving. As I begin my 12th year, I'm grateful for the opportunity to work alongside each student and celebrate the progress they make along the way.

My goal is to nurture and elevate your child's love of reading and learning. At Total Reading Transformation, my mission is to provide the highest quality individualized reading instruction tailored to each child's unique needs.

Through my comprehensive approach, I assess both reading abilities and developmental processes to create a strong foundation for success. Students in kindergarten through seventh grade build essential skills in vocabulary, phonics, decoding, phonemic awareness, reading fluency, comprehension, and writing- empowering them to grow into confident, capable learners.
