I help families figure out where reading is getting stuck and what to do next. My work blends structured literacy, child development, executive functioning support, and warm coaching that helps kids feel safe enough to try.
I built Read. Play. Atelier. because I kept meeting the same family: a parent who could see their child working hard, who knew something was not clicking, and who did not know where to turn. Every tool and resource here is rooted in the Science of Reading and designed to meet your child exactly where they are.
Ashley was pivotal in ensuring my daughter’s academic success. She has the ability to make learning fun and keep the student engaged. She is creative and passionate about learning, which is infectious. We appreciated her personalized approach and her attention to detail when it came to focusing on areas that needed work. She is truly a gifted educator and we are so grateful.
Ms. Ashley’s thoughtful approach has really helped my son. She really understands his learning needs and adapts to what works best for him. He looks forward to spending time with her.
Max loves his sessions with Ms. Ashley. He always feels so confident after he meets with her and his reading and comprehension skills continue to develop and grow!
