A guided program for parents who want to help their child with reading and spelling at home.
Understand what your child needs and learn how to make focused 15-minute practice count.
Vancouver-based online literacy support for families, with flexible scheduling across time zones.
There's another way to support your child
The 15-Minute Literacy Practice Program helps parents learn how to provide targeted reading and spelling practice at home, with personalized guidance from a Structured Literacy specialist.
You'll learn what to practise, how to respond when your child struggles, and how to support progress over time.
For some families, this can be an alternative to regular tutoring. For others, it can complement 1:1 instruction.
Why This Program?
Parents are often told to “practice more” without knowing what to focus on, how to help effectively, or when their child is ready to move forward.
The 15-Minute Literacy Practice Program gives you a clearer path. It combines evidence-informed Structured Literacy with practical parent guidance, so you can focus on what matters most for your child.
What You'll Learn
Through the program, you'll learn to:
✔ Understand your child’s literacy strengths, needs, and next steps
✔ Understand how literacy learning builds
✔ Use focused 15-minute practice to reinforce learning
✔ Understand the role of repetition in building secure, automatic skills
✔ Respond effectively when your child makes an error
✔ Recognize when your child needs more time and when they’re ready to move forward
By the end, you’ll have a practical framework for supporting your child’s literacy learning with greater clarity and confidence.
What Makes the Program Different
Recommendations are based on your child’s strengths and learning needs—not a one-size-fits-all program.
Complex literacy concepts are translated into clear guidance so you can understand what your child needs and what comes next.
Regular, targeted practice helps learning become secure and automatic. Focused 15-minute sessions make it easier to build that repetition into everyday life.
How the Program Works
Weeks 1–4 | Guided Learning
Four weekly sessions introduce the key concepts and show you how to use them in short, focused practice with your child.
Apply with Support
You'll have time to put what you've learned into practice, ask questions, and get guidance as your child progresses.
Follow-Up
A follow-up session is included to check progress, answer questions, and help you decide what comes next.
What Happens Next?
You’ll leave with a practical framework for supporting your child’s reading and spelling at home.
From there, you can continue independently. If you need support in the future, additional follow-up sessions and Learning Blocks are available.
Is This Program Right for You?
This program is a good fit if you:
✔ Know your child needs extra support with reading or spelling, but aren’t sure what to focus on
✔ Want to support your child at home without long or overwhelming sessions
✔ Want practical guidance tailored to your child’s needs
✔ Want to feel clearer and more confident about what comes next
Start with Understanding: Reading & Spelling Assessment
Every family begins with a comprehensive reading and spelling assessment.
The assessment identifies your child’s strengths and learning needs, helping guide the focus of the Parent Program.
I’d be happy to learn about your child, answer your questions, and help you decide whether the Parent Program is the right next step for your family.
