About me

Hello, families! I'm Mrs. Laura, a certified educator and founder of Little Roots Literacy Studio, where I help young learners build strong foundations in reading, literacy, and English-language development. With more than 10 years of teaching experience, a Master of Education, and TESOL and TEFL certifications, I specialize in providing engaging, individualized instruction for kindergarten through second-grade learners. **My Teaching Approach** I believe strong readers grow from strong foundations!

Lessons are interactive, encouraging, and thoughtfully structured to keep young learners engaged. I incorporate visual supports, guided practice, interactive activities, and positive reinforcement to make learning both meaningful and enjoyable. Whether your child is beginning their reading journey, needs additional support with foundational literacy skills, or is developing English-language proficiency, my goal is to help them become a more confident, capable, and independent learner. **A Welcoming Space for Homeschool Families** I especially welcome homeschool families seeking consistent
