Okay. I’ll just tell you.

It’s not more reading logs.
It’s not waiting it out.
And it’s definitely not hoping they’ll “catch up” on their own.

👉 The secret is knowing exactly what your child needs — and why.

Real reading progress happens when:
✨ your child is assessed by qualified professionals (yes, an SLP AND a reading specialist)
✨ gaps are clearly identified (phonemic awareness, decoding, spelling, fluency, comprehension, oral language — all of it)
✨ and instruction is explicit, evidence-based, and targeted to their profile

At The Literacy Collective, Dr. Sarah Novosel-Ulbrich and I don’t guess.
We assess. We interpret. And we create a plan that actually moves the needle.

Because when you understand the root of the struggle, intervention becomes faster, more effective, and a whole lot less stressful (for you and your child).

📍 If you’re ready to stop wondering and start getting answers,
book a literacy assessment with us and let’s find the gaps — and fill them.

Early support changes everything. And your child deserves that kind of clarity. 💛

We’re here to help your child become the successful reader we know they are ❤️

What parents often don’t realize is that an assessment starts long before I ever open a test booklet.

When your child is in the waiting room, I’m already gathering meaningful information.

When they’re talking to you, I’m listening to:
• speech sound patterns
• clarity and consistency
• sentence length and grammar
• how easily they’re understood in real conversation

When they play, I’m observing:
• how language is used spontaneously
• pretend play and sequencing
• attention, flexibility, and problem-solving
• whether language supports or limits their play

When they walk in, move, or jump:
• coordination and motor planning
• regulation and body awareness
• stamina and control
(All of which can impact speech, feeding, and learning.)

When they interact with books:
• interest in print and pictures
• how they orient and handle books
• early literacy behaviors that predict reading success

When they’re redirected away from a preferred activity (I’m looking at you, pac man):
• turn-taking and self-regulation
• emotional flexibility
• readiness for structured learning environments

When they greet me:
• social communication skills
• comfort with new adults
• connection, confidence, and engagement

None of this shows up as a score on a report—but it deeply informs how I assess, interpret results, and build an intervention plan that actually works.

This is the difference between administering a test and clinically understanding a child.

✨ Follow for evidence-based speech, language, and literacy insight
✨ Early, skilled assessment changes trajectories

(And if you’ve ever felt like something “just isn’t quite right,” you’re probably noticing more than you think.)

✨ Welcome to The Literacy Collective ✨

This has been a long time coming—and we are so excited to finally say it out loud.

The Literacy Collective was created by two professionals with a shared obsession (in the best way) with the science of reading and structured literacy—and a deep frustration with how hard it is for families and educators to find truly evidence-based literacy support.

So… we built what we couldn’t find.

What we are:
Two experts. One mission. A collective built on research, best practice, and a whole lot of heart.

What we do:
✔️ Comprehensive, evidence-based literacy assessments
✔️ Targeted intervention for children with reading, spelling, and language-based learning challenges
✔️ Mentorship + capacity building for educators who want to deepen their understanding of the science of reading
✔️ Opportunities for side-hustle income doing meaningful, high-impact literacy work

Why we’re different (and why this matters):
Because literacy doesn’t live in a silo.

We bring together a literacy specialist and a speech-language pathologist—bridging oral language, phonological processing, decoding, spelling, comprehension, and written expression in a way that is rarely offered in one place.

This means:
✨ Clear answers for families
✨ Better outcomes for kids
✨ Stronger, more confident educators
✨ Support that actually aligns with the research

We are here for the kids who are struggling.
For the parents who know something isn’t clicking.
For the educators who want to do better—but need better tools.

This is literacy support done differently.
And we are just getting started. 💫
