Your Path to Personalized Academic Excellence
Hello, my name is Fabricio and I’m a reading specialist. Together, with my wife Caroline, we created this guide to help parents and caregivers support their children in developing strong reading skills at home.
Reading is a complex skill that our brains are not naturally built to do, which is why it can be challenging for some children to learn. This difficulty has nothing to do with intelligence—it’s about how much explicit and systematic instruction a child needs to become a fluent reader. The good news is that with the right approach and consistent practice, all children can become successful readers.
The Smart Start Literacy Program is a research-based tutoring framework designed to assist young readers who struggle with literacy. It uses one-on-one sessions to teach reading skills in a structured and systematic way, incorporating evidence-based practices.
