A PERSONAL NOTE
Hey there! I help parents build their child's Reading Brain using simple, brain-based strategies that actually work.
That's why I created this guide. Because once kids can read the words, the real work is just beginning — comprehension, vocabulary, and rich conversation about what they're reading keep developing for years. Story time is the perfect place to build that.
I've been teaching children to read for nearly 30 years. But 15 years ago, everything changed when my son was diagnosed with an inoperable skull base tumor.
Suddenly, I wasn't just a reading specialist. I was a mom trying to understand how the brain develops, heals, and learns.
That's when I stopped chasing programs and started following the brain.
What I discovered transformed everything. When we teach the brain the way it's designed to learn, reading becomes clearer,
instruction becomes simpler, and children progress faster with less frustration and more confidence.
But I also realized something deeper: the most powerful influence on a child's Reading Brain isn't a program. It's a parent. And parents are drowning in noise... conflicting advice, trendy programs, and pressure to "get it right."

If you use this guide and do not see growth in your child's language, vocabulary, and thinking in the next 30 days, I'll give you your $24 back.
That's how confident I am that Chapter Chats will help you
connect with your child through books and turn reading into brain-building so you can build your child's reading foundation the right way.
