The Silent Struggle Every

Parent Fears

Does your child avoid reading time?

Do they guess at words instead of sounding them out?

Are you watching them fall behind while feeling helpless?

Reading is the foundation for everything your child learns in school. Children who can’t read proficiently by 3rd grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school than proficient readers.

By 4th grade, the focus shifts from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” If your child struggles with reading now, every subject becomes harder.

Your child loses confidence every day they struggle
You feel unprepared to help them the right way
Traditional school assessments don’t give you actionable answers
You’re running out of time – every month matters

Children who don’t read proficiently by 3rd grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school than proficient readers. One in six children reading below level in 3rd grade won’t graduate on time

You Don't Have Time to Wait and Hope

Your child’s brain is most receptive to reading intervention right now.

Waiting until they’re “old enough” or hoping they’ll “catch up” wastes precious development time

Questions to Ask

What if you could pinpoint exactly what’s blocking their progress?
What if you had a roadmap instead of guessing?
What if you could help them before they label themselves as “bad at reading”?

My assessment is an informal assessment tool designed specifically for parents who need real answers about their child’s reading development.

Disclaimer:

Nuts About Reading™ offers an informal, supplemental reading assessment for Grades K-3. It is a tool to pinpoint specific parts of the ‘reading process’ as weak and contributing to a struggling reader. This is a ‘screen’ and NOT a diagnostic tool nor a standardized test. After intervention techniques are implemented, but do not show reading gain, a more comprehensive evaluation is indicated.
