One of the biggest topics of conversation I have with parents year after year is LITERACY.
Once September hits, the new school year energy starts to fade and suddenly a world of fear and comparison sets in for parents everywhere....
Are they behind in reading ability?
My neighbor's child is younger than mine and reading better than my child!
My kid HATES writing!
Am I a failure?
I know I should read to model to them, but ugh... I don’t even like reading!
This spiral of fear and comparison can cause us to make decisions that don't serve us or our children, & can even cause harm to their overall literacy development!
Yikes!
So I've made it my mission to support you and your kiddos on a healthy natural literacy journey - where a lifelong love and joy of reading and writing is the focus (for them AND you)!
Welcome to the Literacy Workshop Series!
I heard from hundreds of you through my Literacy Survey, and have put together something that we think you’re really going to love...
In this 3-part literacy workshop series, we cover all different areas of literacy. These workshops include powerful steps to shift our mindsets, our actions and approaches, our environments, our language and conversation, and more.
You do NOT need to have a lot of time to dedicate to this. Each of the three videos is around an hour long. You just need to be willing to listen, learn, and implement! Much of what we need to know and learn about literacy exists in how we handle our thinking about learning reading and writing skills, not in what we DO to our kids.
Everything is hosted and saved in our private online space, so you’ll be free to access or revisit the content anytime.
Flexible for families of all sizes & ages!
We know every family is a little bit different, so we've chosen topics that will meet everyone's needs!
Get ready to totally transform what you THOUGHT you knew about reading, writing, spelling, literacy, and learning as a whole! 🤯
Workshop One
Supporting the Pre-/Early Readers
In this workshop, we’ll look at the early literacy skills your pre and early readers are working on right now! We’re going to talk about:
- how reading and writing develop in the brain
- what other skills are important for literacy development
- what natural literacy actually looks like and what is “normal”
- what signs to look for that show you your child’s readiness
- how you can support your child in their literacy development
- making sure learning to read doesn’t feel like a chore that your child will hate
By the end of this workshop, you will have a clear understanding of what stage of development your child is in with their literacy, the next things you should be looking for to assess their growth, and exactly how you can support them in this stage of literacy learning through your environment and learning actions.
Workshop Two
Encouraging Your Independent Reader
In this workshop, we will explore what happens after that amazing explosion of reading finally happens and your child is reading independently. We’re going to talk about:
- what literacy skills continue to develop after independent reading
- how to “get your child to read” if they don’t naturally choose it
- shifting your own mindset about reading in this modern world
- determining value of reading outside of a book
- developing your child’s advanced reading skills
- what to do if your child has literacy trauma
By the end of this workshop, you will have confidence in supporting your independent reader, knowledge of how to heal from literacy trauma, a refreshed view of reading as a life skill, and tips for how to encourage reading as a lifelong passion.
Workshop Three
Writing With Purpose
In this most-anticipated workshop, we will dive into WRITING and all of the fears, emotions, and skills that come along with it! This workshop is a DON’T MISS! We’re going to talk about:
- what writing REALLY is and why you don’t need to stress so much about it
- the purpose of writing and its mechanics
- the writing continuum and the eight stages of development
- how to determine the stage of writing that your child is in
- the four cardinal rules for teaching writing
- what writing trauma is and how to heal from it (and how to prevent it in the first place)
By the end of this workshop, you will feel more confident in your child’s writing journey than you ever have before! You will understand the important elements of writing, be able to determine exactly where your child is in their learning journey and what their next stage of development is, and know exactly how to support them! Most importantly, you will understand how writing trauma happens and how to prevent it and heal from it.

FAQs
What if I'm not a homeschooler - will this help me?
100% yes. This is important for EVERY parent - homeschooling, unschooling, public schooling, virtual schooling, etc.... speaking your child’s learning language helps you support them in every area of their lives - from daily tasks to academic activities to lifelong skills. I'd even argue that it's MORE important for those whose children attend school, as it helps you tune into your children more and advocate for their best experience in the classroom.
I think I've purchased some of these in the past. Are they the same?
The Writing Workshop is newly recorded as of 11/22/24. The reading workshops are the same as previously sold. The benefit of this series bundle is getting access to all three workshops and lifetime access to the content (including any future re-recordings).
