Let's learn!
Are you a homeschooling family, and working with a struggling reader? I would love to talk with you!
About Us
My Background
My name is Becky Unruh. I began homeschooling in 2005. Let's just say, things did not go as I had planned. My house was full of frustration over the task of learning to read. There began my journey! What a road it has been, full of highs and lows. I am ever so thankful for all I have learned and continue to learn from some of the best of the best in the field of struggling readers!
My Expertise
In 2009 I started a 3 year program to become a Literacy Intervention Specialist. I completed that in 2012 with no real plans to take it past teaching my own children how to read. God had other plans. My youngest was struggling so badly in 2017, and we chose to enroll her in our local dyslexia school. From there, I taught part time, and in 2019 I started a private practice and took my national exam to become a Certified Academic Language Therapist. (CALT). I am currently working on my Master of Arts in Teaching Dyslexia and am a Qualified Instructor in Training.
Personalized Lessons
I am trained in Alphabetic Phonics, Dubard Association Method, and Take Flight. Each of these amazing programs are Orton Gillingham programs that can be tailored to fit your students needs.

My People
My Family
Working with my own children, as a homeschool mom, was where I began this journey. This is my crew. My 3 oldest children are grown and graduated, leaving me homeschooling my youngest and spending more time working with struggling readers in our local homeschool community.
The students I serve.
We are located in Reno County, Kansas and our homeschool community is growing, just like so many other places. I work one on one with struggling readers. I see it as a partnership between the homeschooling mom and myself. I have the best students!!
Assessments
I often have a wait list for reading therapy, but I am happy to do an informal assessment and help you to find curriculum choices that will benefit your child.
Contact Us
Every student has unique needs for support. I am happy to visit with you and your child to create intentional direction for their literacy needs.
