Are You Seeing This, Too?

Your students are expected to read fluently… …but they’re still learning to decode.
Your students are expected to write paragraphs… …but they struggle to write sentences.
Your students are expected to comprehend complex texts… …but they’re missing essential background knowledge.

If so, you’re not alone. Only 31% of U.S. fourth graders are reading proficiently.

Hi, I’m Emma.

I know how frustrating it can be when the expectations don’t match your students’ reality. You’re trying to keep moving forward while playing catch-up with students who are already two years behind grade-level standards.

Since my first year teaching, I’ve been passionate about research-based literacy instruction. I’m here to make structured literacy simple so you can meet your students’ needs without sacrificing your sanity.
