consulting & Book exchange


This program provides the opportunity for children to have leveled books in their homes. Children receive books that are appropriate for their individual reading levels. When finished with the books, a new set of books is exchanged.
Picture

You will:

  • Be the manager of learning and teacher for your child.
  • Realize that young children are capable of learning some of what we traditionally see learned in kindergarten and first grade.
  • Understand that by providing this opportunity for learning, your child will have a solid foundation for literacy upon entering school.  This will support his/her individualized reading level.
  • Help your child make literacy connections.
  • Provide your child with texts that are at his/her individualized reading level.
  • Learn how to integrate literacy into your normal day activities.  (The parent or adult must prioritize time - a minimum of 10 minutes a day - to focus on your child's literacy advancement.)

Kristyn will:

  • Assist you in determining what your child already knows and what steps can be taken to make progress.
  • Share numerous ideas related to reading and writing that will help your child make literacy connections and learn to be an independent reader and writer.
  • When concerns arise, consult with you to help figure out what we can do together or what resources might be available to help address these concerns.
  • Provide texts at individual reading levels for your child to read.
  • Encourage and motivate you and your child.
  • Celebrate the success your child has.
  • Enjoy the journey of literacy you share with your child!
Consulting with Kristyn has given me the tools and knowledge to teach my children to read, which I felt to be an overwhelming responsibility.  The ability to email her with questions and receive all these wonderful ideas and suggestions specifically for my child is priceless.  Another aspect we enjoy is having Kristyn to share in the triumphs of our children reading her first 100 books, entering the next level of books, or just keeping us motivated.

Kristyn is right on with her knowledge of literacy and best practice for children.  She is an expert in early literacy with a passion for children.  She presents her knowledge clearly and concisely so that parents understand and can immediately help their children.  As an educator, I am impressed by Kristyn's expertise in this area.  She is right on with her reading tips and strategies for success.
