Teaching Kids to Read Ages 0-5

Many would argue the first 5 years of a child’s life matter the most. The early experiences of a young child shape the course of their lives. The key to unlocking a child’s reading ability starts the day they are born. I am offering a self-paced and fully online course called Teaching Kids to Read Ages 0-5. This course is designed to help you raise confident and successful readers from birth.

Giving children a rich literacy environment from the moment they come home from the hospital is crucial. Before they even know what reading is, the reading foundation is built. Therefore, I want you to be armed with the right tools and strategies so you are able to maximize these early and pivotal years.

This course is available internationally so you can access the reading magic from anywhere!

Enrollment is open!

Why is this Course so Important?

A child’s brain is 90% developed by the time they turn 5 years old. So, what must you do in the most important years of your child’s life? This course is going to give you all the tools you need to ensure you have made the most of those crucial first 5 years.

There is no formal reading curriculum in this course. Moreover, you will not find difficulty applying these strategies. Many other courses require you to have a degree in teaching, as well as the patience of an educator, to understand what they are saying.

There are fancy programs and “reading shortcuts” advertised everywhere. Those will not work. These easy to implement strategies are practical as well as effective for EVERY parent and caregiver.

This Teaching Kids to Read Ages 0-5 online course gives children the social/emotional and academic boost they need to excel the rest of their life. The reading magic is in the fundamentals.

What is the Purpose of this Course?

I was inspired to write this Teaching Kids to Read Ages 0-5 course so that every parent and caregiver has the right tools and not just reading gimmicks. My dream is to see every child flourish and find joy in reading and literacy when they begin school.

I designed this course after spending 12 years as a professional educator.  My own daughter had just turned 5 years old and went to Kindergarten. As an educator and literacy specialist, I had many students walk into my Kindergarten classroom without many tools or strategies for reading.

We Love to Read, But How Do We Get Kids Interested

The adults in their lives were enthusiastic about education and multiculturalism. However, they simply did not have the right tools or know how to implement them at home.

As a result, it inspired me to teach others how to give a child a solid literacy foundation. I wanted to help others find the same success that I had by guiding children to reading success right from birth.

What am I Going to Get from this Course?

• A how-to guide on encouraging your baby, toddler, or preschooler to have extraordinary reading, writing, speech, listening, and motor skills before they turn 5 years old.
• Instructions and techniques on how to create a literacy-rich and diverse environment to instill a love and passion for reading, but also for reading the world and becoming a social justice change maker.
• A step-by-step guide on how to cultivate speaking, reading, writing, and listening (SWiRL) from 0-5.
• How to use music, multiple languages, art, and play to accelerate reading skills.
• A practical guide for how to use whole brain learning as a reading technique.
• Strategies and resources for teaching children multiple languages even if you aren’t multilingual.
• How to use travel (local and global) and cooking to enrich reading skills.

Who is the Target Audience?

• This course is for parents (and soon to be parents) and caregivers of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers (ages 0-5). The step-by-step format  is ideal for parents/caregivers who want to give their child a head start in their education.
• This course is taught in English. However, the strategies and tools I will give you can be applied in any language you are teaching the child(ren) in your life.

Give Your Child the World

I am not going to JUST give you the tools for raising readers. I am going to encourage you to read high quality books that are diverse as well as multicultural and inclusive to raise a global citizen as well. Most of all, I will give you practical ways to enrich their academics and their lives.

Additionally, I am going to give the HOW and the WHAT to read so your child can learn to read, while also learning empathy and compassion to become a global citizen and a changemaker. I want your child to literally and figuratively read the world.

Even if you have the most amazing and diverse library in the world at home or in the classroom, you still need the tools and strategies so that a child knows HOW to read them.
