Giving parents the tips and tools they need to develop future bookworms!

Hi there! I’m Ellen!

I’m a wife, mom to two high-energy boys (ages 7.5 and 4), I have a B.S. in Elementary Education and I’m a recovering reluctant reader myself. I excelled at reading when I first learned how, but over time I began to see reading as a chore and something I dreaded. Sound familiar?

As a recovering reluctant reader, I know that it’s possible and what it takes to find that love of reading when all hope seems lost.

I can’t wait to share with you how you can begin engaging your reluctant reader today!

A Few of My Favorite Things

My First Reading Library

This comprehensive first reading library includes 50 books to guide your child through the first stages of reading and includes access to online resources.

Beginning with the first 22 books, your child takes the first steps in reading with your help, with each book focused on building select phonics skills. The other half of the set continues to increase in difficulty to stretch their skills, while building reading confidence and stamina as they develop into independent readers!

Epic!

Fantastic E-books and videos for kids! Their library of books is constantly growing, full of STEAM friendly options, they offer “follow along read-to-me” books, quizzes to test knowledge and motivational badges and awards to help gamify reading.


I prefer the unlimited option, you can try a FREE month here, only $9.99/month after that and you get unlimited access to books and videos that your child is sure to enjoy.*

*Full transparency, this is a referral link.

**There is a free version, however you’re limited to one book per day. It’s still worth it if the unlimited version doesn’t fit your budget.

Explore! America’s National Parks

This is a must-have treasure for all nature lovers out there! Complete with consultancy from a real Park Ranger, this book is organized by region, shares detailed histories, discusses local flora and fauna, and includes not-to-be missed sights and experiences.  In addition to all that there are helpful tips for what to pack when camping and hiking, highlights on environmental issues, endangered animals, park protection and so much more!

Oh and by the way…did you know that all 4th GRADERS get a FREE PASS to visit national parks across the country for a YEAR?
