Navigation Tips

 While ultimately this will be a blog that I try to keep up with, right now you can navigate it like a website. 

  1. If you want to know how I got to this place, you can check out Our Story at the top of the page. 
  2. If you are just here to find information about local places that can help, check out the Local Resources at the top of the page. I will try to vet a few more tutoring places as I go, but it's good to remember that all tutoring is not created equal, and spending 50 bucks an hour for someone to read a novel with your child is not going to teach them to read.
  3. If you are here because you were putting random words together in Google hoping to find SOMETHING that will help you help your child with reading, start with the Educate Yourself tab. I think that one of the best (and worst) things that have happened since we started this journey was to discover that my story, our story, is actually really common. So, I definitely felt less alone in my confusion and anger, but then I was even angrier - why are we letting so many kids just NOT learn to read in school? It's literally their job.

Uniquely Qualified? Maybe. Uniquely Placed to Help Others? Hopefully.

 Why am I here?

I'm hoping to share what I've learned on my journey and to hopefully help parents, local to Eugene, who have struggling readers and don't know where to go or what to do.

If you want to read about my WHOLE story. You will find that on the Our Story Page

I'm going to start with this video I made for the National Center on Improving Literacy:
