Ms. Ashley Reading Coach
New Orleans reading specialist and literacy coach.
Reading specialist. Parent guide.
Meet Ms. Ashley.
I help children build reading skills with clear structure, playful practice, and grown up guidance that feels calm enough to use at home.
I was a struggling reader growing up.
I still remember what it feels like to want to understand, but not know how to get there yet. That memory shapes the way I teach. I do not start with pressure. I start with what is true.
My work gives children the right practice at the right stage. It also gives parents a calmer way to help.
What I bring
Reading science with a human voice.
Real credentials. Real classroom experience. Real children in mind.

Executive Functioning Coach
I support the skills that help learning stick. Planning. Focus. Follow through. Self awareness.
How it should feel
Clear. Doable. Full of wonder.
Reading support should help the child and the grown up breathe a little easier.
Simple
Clear steps families can actually use in real life.
Stage matched
Teaching that honors your child’s pace, stage, and growing brain.
Playful
Practice that invites curiosity, story, movement, and joy.
Science rooted
Evidence based reading practices held with warmth and care.
Every child deserves learning that meets them right where they are.
Some children need help hearing sounds. Some need help cracking the code. Some can read the words, but need support with fluency, meaning, or the skills that make learning feel manageable.
Read. Play. Atelier. grew from that belief. Meet the child. Find the skill. Tend the next step.
Start with what your child can do right now.
The Reading Check helps you see the next skill without guessing. From there, you can use the Library or book support with me.
