My Mission as an Early Literacy Specialist
I created Rising Reader because I believe every child deserves to feel capable. Reading isn't just a school skill-it's the key to a child's confidence, imagination, and future potential. My mission is to provide the bridge between hesitation and mastery through personalized, research-backed instruction.
As an educator with a degree in Birth Through Kindergarten and advanced studies in Creative and Innovative Education, and a deep love for literacy, I've seen firsthand how the right support at the right time can change a child's trajectory. I work one-on-one with young learners to build the foundational skills that turn unsure readers into unstoppable ones.
Why I Do This
"Watching a child realize they can sound out a word they were afraid of just minutes before—that's the magic. I live for those 'I can do it!' moments."
— Desiree Brock
