Mission

At Strides Literacy, my aim is to nurture lifelong, independent, and empowered learners by helping those with literacy difficulties to build literacy mastery. Whether there is a formal diagnosis, or not, I aim for all the young people I work with to have effective metacognitive strategies to confidently overcome literacy challenges as they continue their educational journeys.
