Building Confidence, One Reader at a Time
Personalized Reading Tutoring for Kids
At Read Brave, I specialize in nurturing confident readers through personalized tutoring sessions designed to inspire and empower.
Because Every Child Deserves to Feel Brave When They Read
Every child deserves to feel capable and brave when they open a book. At Read Brave, I offer compassionate, one-on-one reading instruction that meets your child where they are, helping them move from frustration to confidence through proven, structured literacy methods.
Personalized Reading Support for Your Child
At Read Brave, we create lessons based on your child’s unique learning needs. Our goal is to build confidence, improve reading skills, and make learning a positive experience.
Individualized Lessons
Our one-on-one lessons are crafted to address your child’s specific reading goals, using proven strategies to foster reading proficiency and self-assurance.
Informal Assessments
Once your child feels comfortable, I conduct an informal assessment to gently identify strengths and challenges. This process helps guide lessons while keeping learning positive and pressure-free.
Parent Communication
I believe in keeping parents informed and involved. Regular updates and feedback sessions ensure you are part of your child’s progress every step of the way.
Flexible Learning Options
Choose between in-person or online sessions to fit your family’s schedule and preferences, making it easier to integrate learning into your daily life.
Meet Carey Thomas, C-SLDI
Hi, I’m Carey, a Certified Structured Literacy Dyslexia Interventionist (C-SLDI) through the Center for Effective Reading Instruction. I’m a lifelong educator who believes that confidence and connection come before progress. I use Orton-Gillingham–based instruction and a warm, individualized approach to help children discover that they can read, and enjoy it.
With IMSE certification and LETRS training, I combine research-based techniques with empathy and patience. We tailor every lesson to your child’s learning style and deliver it with encouragement, care, and trust.
“My mission is to help every child feel brave, capable, and proud of their progress.”
