Reading support works best when it matches the problem in front of you. Different students need different kinds of support — and so do the adults helping them.
That might mean building schoolwide systems for teachers and leaders. Or giving one teacher a practical routine to use tomorrow. Or helping one family understand what their child needs next.
Wherever the work starts, the goal is the same: help students read more, understand more, and keep going.
Three ways I work
-

For schools
When good ideas need to become daily practice.
School partnerships are for teams that need more than a one-time workshop. This work can include demonstration lessons, teacher coaching, curriculum planning, and support for the routines that help reading instruction continue after I leave.
-

For teachers
When you need practical strategies or personalized support.
Self-paced courses are short, focused, and built for real classroom use, whether the goal is helping students access challenging texts, build fluency, or stay engaged longer.
One-on-one coaching is available for teachers who want personalized support designed around their students, goals, and context.
-

For families
When you’re trying to understand what your child needs next.
Family support is for students who are struggling, disengaged, or ready for more. We can look at what you’re seeing, make sense of reading needs, and build a path that helps your child grow in skill, confidence, and interest.

I specialize in adolescent literacy (middle and high school), and I work with grades 3–12.

GJR Literacy helps schools, teachers, and families understand what is getting in the way of reading and choose practical support that fits. That work includes school partnerships, self-paced courses, teacher coaching, and personalized family support.
-
I’m based in New York City and work both in person and virtually. I’ve worked throughout the five boroughs, across the country, and internationally.
School partnerships can be in person, virtual, or hybrid depending on your needs. Courses are fully asynchronous. Family sessions are available in person and virtually.
-
If a student is struggling to keep up, avoiding reading, or has not yet found a way into it, that is worth paying attention to.
When students say they do not like reading, they are often saying reading feels hard. The next step is understanding what is getting in the way and what kind of support fits.
-
Both. I work with students who are behind, students who need more challenge, and students who need help building confidence, stamina, or stronger reading habits.
The approach adapts to where each student is.

Course prices are listed on Thinkific. Pricing for school partnerships, coaching, and family support depends on the scope of the work. Reach out with what you’re looking for, and I can point you toward the clearest next option.

Get in touch and tell me what you’re seeing. We'll talk about what's happening at home, in the classroom, or across your school, and figure out together whether working with me makes sense.
