The Reading Clarity Checklist helps you name what you're seeing, prepare for school conversations, and figure out whether ADHD, dyslexia, or both might be at the root of it.
Every Sunday — short, practical, and written by a teacher who's been in the classroom for 25 years.
Research-backed information about how ADHD and dyslexia actually affect learning — explained in plain language, not education jargon.
What I'm seeing in my own classroom right now, what's working for families, and what the school system isn't telling you.
A strategy, a script for a school meeting, a question to ask your child's teacher. Something that moves things forward this week.
✦ You know something is off with your child's reading but you can't get a straight answer from anyone at school
✦ You've been told to "wait and see" more than once and you're done waiting
✦ You want to understand what's actually happening in your child's brain — not just get a worksheet
✦ You're ready to walk into the next school meeting knowing exactly what to ask
I've spent 25 years in classrooms watching kids work harder than anyone around them — and still fall behind.
I'm a National Board Certified Teacher and Reading Specialist. I have specialized Take Flight training from the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. I founded Learning in a Distracted World because parents deserve the same information I give families in my classroom every day — without having to wait for a school meeting to get it.
The Reading Clarity Checklist is the starting point I wish every parent had before they walked into their first IEP meeting.
