How your child feels determines how they learn

Cara Nemchek - Reading Specialist

"I'm stupid"

“I’m dumb”

“I can’t”

There are no words more heartbreaking.

I know watching your child shut down – lose all sense of self-worth at one mistake – feels like a loss of control. 

For you and your little human.

But learning to read doesn't have to feel this way...

Hi, I'm Cara!

I'm a reading specialist and parent coach, and I love helping anxious kids fall in love with reading.

Because what is life if not learning? Consistently.

I believe that learning to read is meant to feel good.

And as an actively recovering perfectionist, I understand that if your child feels like they can’t, they won’t.

That’s why at CARA, we teach READING and SELF-ESTEEM at the same time.

Learning doesn’t happen in a vaccuum. It’s not just academic. It’s emotional.

Learning

Refusing to read?

Let's get curious!

Play

Self-Esteem

Shutting down?
Little kids have big feelings (and that's okay). Learning something new *is* emotional.

It's safe to let them feel.
