About Bree
Literacy Expanded started with Bree, the mother of three children who are amazingly bright and are often not seen for their strengths. She navigated the system to find supports for her children's dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, and trauma but constantly felt defeated.
Even with her expertise, she found that the school system wasn't set up to accommodate the needs of her children and was in a constant battle for support.
Therefore, she decided expand her education in the science of reading and structured literacy. She stepped away from the classroom and started building a curriculum for her children and other struggling readers.
She found that the key to supporting kids in becoming better in literacy is through working with the whole child, focusing on their strengths and filling in the gaps that most schools miss.
At Literacy Expanded, we have seen huge success in not only reading and spelling, we see children's lives and confidence change.
Literacy Expanded is a place that offers an alternative approach established in best practices.
