WELCOME TO

Mindful Early Reading

I’m Cat! I am an educator on a mission to provide simple, engaging and mindful activities aligned with the science of reading. Did you know only ⅓ of 3rd graders in the United States are reading at grade level? In fact, in more than 1/2 of the states, 20% of the population is reading below a 5th grade level. Between the effects of the COVID pandemic, the excessive use of technology in our children’s lives and the fact that reading is currently being taught incorrectly in a number of states (among many other issues), we are in the middle of a literary epidemic. The social and emotional impact this has on our students is also detrimental to their learning.

As a reading specialist, social emotional facilitator, and mom of two young boys, I hope to share my knowledge and experience to help educate and inspire other educators and parents in mindful early reading.
