Hi, I'm Shannon.
I'm a reading specialist with 30+ years helping parents raise confident, joyful readers from birth to age 10. I take the guesswork out of literacy with simple, research-backed plans so you can stop worrying and start seeing progress.
I know how overwhelming it can feel when a child struggles with reading—or when a parent doesn’t know how to help. As a literacy specialist and parent coach, I created Literacy Simplified to remove the confusion and give families a clear path forward.
Hi, I’m Shannon.
I’m here for the parent who can’t quite put their finger on it — but knows something about their child’s reading just isn’t clicking.
​
You might be worried about when they’ll start reading…
Or how to keep them from falling behind…
Or whether you’re doing “enough” at home.
​
I get it — because I’ve spent more than 30 years helping children from birth through age ten build the skills, confidence, and love of reading they need to thrive. And I know that behind every child’s literacy journey is a parent who cares deeply, but doesn’t always have a clear roadmap.
​
My mission? To take away the guessing, the guilt, and the overwhelm — and give you a simple plan that works.
​
Whether you:
​
-
Want a step-by-step system you can use at home
-
Need a professional assessment to see exactly where your child is
-
Or simply want to raise a kind, resilient, confident reader
-

…you’ll find practical tools, research-backed strategies, and encouragement here — no jargon, no judgment.
And when you work with me, you’re not just helping your child — you’re also helping children around the world. Ten percent of every purchase supports global education, clean water, and anti-trafficking initiatives.
You’re not behind. Your child isn’t behind. You just need the right plan. And I’d be honored to help you find it.
