Hi, I'm Kristen!

I've spent 20 years helping struggling readers as a classroom teacher and reading specialist. With so many kids still reading below grade level, I knew I had to do more to make a real difference.

That’s when I joined forces with Jan, a researcher with a Ph.D. in Education, who shared my passion for the science of reading. Her own child's struggles sparked her drive to find what truly works.

Together, we created Fluent Minds—a research-backed approach that simplifies teaching for parents like us.

This guide is packed with our best insights and step-by-step strategies to help you teach your child to read confidently. Whether you're just starting out or supporting a child who’s already struggling, we’ve done the research, so you don’t have to.
