Do you want to set your child up for literacy success and to develop a love of reading? Are you nervous about teaching your child how to read? Maybe you are unsure about how to begin their literacy journey. You may even wonder if your child is getting the instruction they need to give them a strong foundation?

You are your child's first and most important teacher.

These are all valid concerns for every parent whether you homeschool or you want to support their education at home. My goal is to equip and empower you to give your child a strong foundation in literacy and learning.

An Epidemic of Illiteracy

According to the National Literacy Institute, more than half our nation reads below a 6th grade level and 21% of adults in our country cannot read at all. That means 45 million adults in our country are functionally illiterate. Sadly, New Mexico has the worst child literacy rate in the country. Imagine the impact this has on our nation and especially on the communities in which we live.

  • 20% of Americans read below the level needed to earn a living wage

  • About 50% of Americans have a below poverty level income because of their inability to read

  • Our nation loses $240 billion a year in social service expenditures and lost tax revenue due to school dropouts

  • 85% of juvenile offenders struggle with reading

  • In America, 3 out of 5 people in prison cannot read.

“Sherelle really helped my family as a literacy coach. Her experience with children as a teacher is evident. As a homeschooling mom, teaching English is no easy task but Sherelle has helped me to better understand how I can teach my kids. Her songs and rhymes to memorize rules, make school fun for me and my students. She has boosted my confidence as a teacher. I highly recommend her for not only homeschool families but parents who want to be involved in their children's education.”

Do you remember the first time (our daughter) met you? She said, "I don't know how to read." And you said, "That's okay. I'm going to teach you." And did you ever! Watching (her) grow under your guidance has been an incredible joy and a rewarding learning experience for us all.
