Is your child ready to start learning to read on their own, but you’re not sure how best to teach them? Then sign-up for one of our early literacy classes! Taught by Katy Farr, an Orton-Gillingham trained educator with over 40 years of teaching experience, these classes will assess where your child is on their reading journey and help them take the next step.

These classes will not be taking place in January. We apologize for the inconvenience and will resume on February 6, 2026.
