Interactive and Fun Reading Strategies and Activities for Kids
Designed by a Reading Specialist who understands the power of play.
Curated for early readers with practical tips and recommended reading tools.
Why reading through play?
As a mom and a background in early childhood education, I know your child needs to play. Play does so many amazing things for a child’s brain. For me, play in childhood is non-negotiable.
BUT as a reading specialist who is well-versed in how your child learns to read, I also know how important it is to start laying a solid reading foundation.
Luckily, I have a huge passion for making learning to read insanely FUN for kids!
Not sure where to start??
Every child’s reading journey is different! Give your child a free early reading assessment to identify their current strengths and areas for growth!
This assessment targets foundational reading skills like phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and letter knowledge! Empowering YOU to support their literacy development at home!
You have the power to help your child actually learn how to read! Yes, YOU!

Mrs. Megan is one of the most energetic, enthusiastic and happy teachers I have ever seen. My 6 year old loves her to death and can not wait for his sessions with her. Being a 6 year old boy it takes a lot of energy to keep him engaged. My son used to cry said he HATED reading. Now, he will read for me without being offered a prize in return. He has not cried once because Mrs. Megan gets his learning style. Mrs. Megan is such a blessing and is very special!

At the beginning of the year he could barely sound out three-letter words and had been diagnosed dyslexic, but after the year with you he was reading around grade level. He just finished his summer reading challenge and he read 19 books this summer! We’re really grateful for the work you did, and I just wants to write and say so.

Dempsey's school uses iReady assessment testing to judge progress in reading. We just got her results back today, and she had a HUGE jump in her reading scores. We could not be more excited for her and are incredibly appreciative for how much you are teaching her and how much confidence she is gaining. Words really can't express our gratitude!
Thank you for all you do!!

I can’t tell you how grateful I am we found you and how absolutely wonderful you are with Simon. I could cry watching him almost every session. He was nonverbal until the age of about 3.5 yr old so this is all so huge and absolutely blowing my mind daily. I’m attaching photos from Simon’s iready testing from school. So you can see for yourself the testing increase since you’ve stepped in. Thank you so much again for all that you do and what joy you bring to so many of us! (Sorry I’m so long winded and an embarrassing gushing mom)

OMG she was so excited today about her WPM!! You are such an amazing confidence booster for her! Also she recently tested out of her reading specialist at school. She use to go 4x a week for extra help. She's come so far since last year and we are so proud! Watching a struggling reader and not knowing how to help was awful. So happy with all her hard work, and yours!!
