Are you frustrated with extensive professional development yet little support with implementation?
Over the years, I received a wide range of required professional development. Some of these required courses were irrelevant to my field while others permanently altered the way I taught. After finding courses and workshops based on the Science of Reading, I had finally found my people! I was like a sponge soaking up everything that would help grow my struggling readers.
Returning to school, I was motivated and driven to implement these strategies. I could not wait to change lives and bridge the gap for those who struggled the most. But there were still obstacles. In fact, it felt like one obstacle after another. Implementing wasn’t as easy as I thought. Implementing strategies looked different with every student. Sometimes the strategies worked yet other times I felt defeated. Seeking guidance to overcome these barriers, I went to other teachers, curriculum specialists, and even the leaders of the school. But no one could provide a clear protocol to remove these obstacles. They just didn’t know what to do with the kids that struggled the most.
MEET YOUR MENTOR
Hi, I'm Christi
Hi! I’m Christi, a literacy specialist. I love teaching phonics, grammar, comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and written expression. Basically, I love teaching ALL THINGS LITERACY! Teaching literacy energizes me. It brings me a great sense of accomplishment when a student tells me “I don’t need your help because I can read”. Yes, that is music to my ears!
My goal is to help you get to a place where you feel so confident in your literacy instruction that you cannot wait to implement the lesson. You will design lessons that are structured for student success and so engaging that the kids who hate reading will secretly begin to enjoy your class.

A PROVEN SOLUTION
What People are Saying
"My son began to struggle with reading in Kindergarten. He did not respond to traditional methods taught in school. He was frustrated and became insecure. Christi identified the learning issue immediately and was able to increase his reading skills, build confidence, and educate me along the way. Now I can advocate for my child. Christi is knowledgeable, positive and passionate about helping students who struggle with reading. "
Wendy, Parent
"I saw children struggling to read and spell at our school. We used balanced literacy strategies and lessons that were not working. Christi taught us how to increase all components of literacy into our reading instruction. She didn’t shy away from students with learning differences, she ran toward them. Christi was also prescriptive in her training. She reads the room, understands the needs of the teachers and responds. Christi was willing and available to help with issues no matter how big or small. "
