Hello Readers!

WELCOME! I’m so glad you’ve found Simplified Reading! My name is Becca. I have been obsessed with reading my whole life and furthered that obsession while getting a Masters in Teaching English to Students of Other Languages (TESOL) with an emphasis in Academic Reading as well as a Bachelors in Language Development and a Minor in Psychology from Brigham Young University. I have spent over 10 years in the education field working with readers of ALL ages and currently work from home as a Reading Tutor. During all of this, I found that many parents struggle to understand how to help their readers. Often as parents, we want to help our readers but are unsure how to start or may lack knowledge of the reading process. Reading doesn’t have to be complicated. Reading doesn’t need to be a “chore”. Reading and learning to read can be easy and fun! This is why I created Simplified Reading. Everything on this site is focused on bringing reading back to the basics and simplifying reading for parents of aspiring, struggling, and even the most avid readers. Here you will find…

  • simple literacy activities
  • basic literacy information
  • and tips for raising readers.

I hope you will find these activities, ideas, and information a valuable resource as you raise your readers.
