Helping Struggling Readers Build Skills — and Confidence
Online structured literacy instruction for students in grades K–6. Calm, steady, research-aligned support that meets your child exactly where they are.
A quiet, enduring strength. The perseverance to keep going when things feel hard — not with force, but with steadiness and resolve. At Sisu Reading, we believe every child has this strength inside them. Our work is to help them find it, one step at a time, through patient and structured literacy instruction.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Many parents notice the same patterns and share the same worries. If any of these feel familiar, you've come to the right place.
Your child guesses at words instead of sounding them out
Reading feels like a battle at homework time
Your child's confidence is slipping — they say "I'm not a good reader"
They're falling behind at school and you're not sure what kind of help is needed
You've tried other approaches, but progress has been slow or unclear
How It Works
A clear path forward in three steady steps.
Assess
We begin with a thorough assessment to understand exactly where your child is — their strengths, their gaps, and the right starting point.
Teach
Each session follows a structured, research-aligned approach — explicit, sequential, and tailored to your child's needs.
Strengthen
Skills are practiced, reinforced, and applied to real reading — building fluency, accuracy, and genuine confidence over time.
What Makes Sisu Reading Different
Research-Aligned Instruction
Grounded in the science of reading and structured literacy principles — not guesswork.
Explicit, Step-by-Step Teaching
Every concept is taught directly and systematically. No assumptions, no gaps.
Real-Time Feedback via Document Camera
See your child's work as it happens, allowing for immediate, precise correction and encouragement.
Confidence & Mindset Support
We build readers who believe in themselves — because mindset matters as much as skill.
Clear Progress Monitoring
Regular updates and structured tracking so you always know where things stand.
Boutique, One-on-One Attention
Small practice by design. Your child is never just another name on a roster.
A Passion for Helping Struggling Readers Succeed
With a Master's degree in education, years of classroom teaching experience, and specialized training in structured literacy and cognitive coaching, I bring both expertise and empathy to every session.
I started Sisu Reading because I've seen firsthand how the right instruction — patient, explicit, and structured — can unlock a child's potential and transform their relationship with reading.
