Private Reading Lessons

Ensuring that all children reach their full potential in reading is essential, as reading proficiency directly impacts confidence, self-esteem and overall academic performance. Research shows that reading success influences achievement across other subjects and highlights a strong correlation between early reading abilities and long-term life outcomes, such as crime rates, homelessness, and financial stability. Longitudinal studies consistently reveal a close relationship between reading skills and future social and economic success.

Angela Ehmer now offers private reading/writing lessons to meet the needs of young readers.

These programs are suited to children in need of support in reading and/or writing, and looking for a reading specialist to unlock their full potential.
