The teacher behind Read. Play. Atelier.

Hi. I’m Ms. Ashley.

I’m a reading specialist, educator, and lifelong believer that learning should wake something up in a child. I built Read. Play. Atelier. from more than 19 years of teaching real readers, listening closely to families, and asking one question again and again: What is this child ready to learn next?
