How your child feels determines how they learn
C Around Reading Anxiety
"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.
Our Approach
The CARA Method
Refusing to read?
Expert teaching and your child's interests hold the key.
Let's get curious!
Attention challenges?
Kids focus through play.
Let them move!
Shutting down?
Little kids have big feelings (and that's okay). Learning something new *is* emotional.
It's safe to let them feel.
