Ages 5-10
Stop Guessing What Actually Builds a Strong Reader and Know What Works, From Ages 5–10
The Stakes Are High
Confident Readers helps you understand exactly what builds your child's reading brain — not just more reading time, but the right kind.
Is This Familiar?
You move from hoping storytime and school work are "enough" to knowing exactly what your child needs at every stage.
This Changes Everything
Your child grows up a strong, confident reader — and you never have to wonder if you missed something.
Parents who use specific, research-backed strategies see up to 6x greater reading gains than those who just read books together. Confident Readers teaches you exactly what those strategies are.
You don't need a red flag to want to do this well. Wanting to be proactive isn't overthinking — it's good instinct.
Concrete stage-by-stage brain development moments (decoding → fluency → comprehension milestones)
But "reading together" and "building a reader" aren't the same thing — and most parents are never told the difference.
This course teaches you those specific strategies — so your instinct to be proactive turns into a real plan.
I'm Shannon — a reading specialist who has spent years inside real classrooms watching exactly how reading struggles show up and what actually helps.
I'm not here to hand you more strategies to try blindly.
I'm here to give you the framework so you can finally understand what you're seeing — and make informed decisions instead of anxious guesses.
You know how most reading advice just says 'read together every night'?
I get why that feels like enough — you're showing up, you're doing something.
But here's the thing: a peer-reviewed study found that parents who used specific reading strategies saw six times the reading gains of parents who only read books together with no guidance.
That's why I created Confident Readers. It helps you understand exactly what builds your child's reading brain — not just more time with books, but the right kind of support — so you can stop hoping you're doing enough and know you are.
You don't need to become a reading specialist (that's my job).
You need a framework for understanding what you're seeing — and I'm here to give you exactly that.

It's engaging, interactive and offers age appropriate skill building activities. Shannon has created experiences and activities that boost vocabulary, phonemic awareness, and love for reading. If you're looking for a way to give your littles a head start while, this program is a must!"

I Wish I had Known!
"As a mom of three (1,3,7) I took a chance on this program but I am so glad I did! I wish I had known about Shannon when my 7 year old was little! I think it would have saved him from struggling now. I just didn't know that the toddler and preschool years were when I needed to start. PS. My littles are already showing growth in their language and development."
– Shelby J.
