Finding Joy in Literacy Learning!
A life-long love for learning can begin with the discovery of one interesting word. When one is noticed, a light shines on many more. Help children explore the English writing system and find JOY in the quest for knowledge.

I offer in-person and online tutoring to primary and elementary students using structured literacy approaches tailored to each learner’s needs. As an education content creator, I design custom visuals and videos to support the students I teach, their families, other educators and tutors. My tutoring services and resources provide clear, practical tools to help you and your students succeed with literacy learning.
Rooted in Heart and Purpose
I love to create, help, and share my joy for learning!
​
Over the years—through working with students and learning from incredible mentors—I’ve seen the power of teaching the English writing system.​
​
This site is built on that passion.​
​
The content at Growing Word Noticers is designed to lay a strong foundation beneath the direct, explicit lessons children receive in schools today—and to plant seeds for further learning. When students learn how just one word works—its structure, meaning, family, and role in a sentence—it opens the door to understanding many more. That’s the power of understanding the English writing system. Each discovery supports deeper language and reading growth, giving students the tools—the "keys to the kingdom"—they need to explore literacy with confidence and curiosity.​
​
Every brain learns differently. This site serves as a flexible roadmap, helping learners explore big-picture literacy concepts at their own pace—deepening and supporting the structured instruction they already receive.
