In just 30 minutes you will learn exactly why your child is struggling — and what must change for them to finally read & spell with confidence.

  • Are you working with your first or second grader child on reading or spelling in the home but not seeing the progress you hoped for?

  • Is your child smart and competent, yet the typical flashcards, sight word lists, phonics worksheets, alphabet chart drills, workbooks, spelling lists, video games, word sorts, word families, rhyming words, consonant-vowel-patterns, etc. have not produced the results you need?

  • Have you been to a parent-teacher conference and want a second opinion about what they said regarding your child's reading or spelling?

  • Is your child in an situation in which reading or spelling improvement needs to occur quickly?

  • Do you feel that your child may be neurodiverse, such as struggling with dyslexia or ADHD?

By the end of the 30-minute Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic, you will know:

  • Why your child cannot read or spell consistently despite all the time they have spent in lessons

  • Which particular skills are missing or mis-developed

  • Why the methods currently in place are not working

  • What your child's reading and spelling errors mean

  • Exactly what must change for your child to begin reading and spelling with confidence.

Stop going in circles and end reading frustration once and for all!

The Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic is designed specifically for children who are smart and competent, yet haven’t clicked with conventional methods.

You will leave with a clear understanding of your child’s reading and spelling challenges and what needs to change so progress can finally begin.

What Happens During the Free Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic

During the diagnostic, we will pinpoint exactly where your child is struggling and why.

  • Your child will read a short passage they haven't seen before so we can see their current reading level in action. I’ll observe and analyze the mistakes, strengths, and strategies your child uses while reading.

  • If you have a sample of the target reading level you want your child to reach, you're welcome to bring it. We’ll compare your child’s current abilities to the reading and spelling level you hope they will reach, and identify exactly what needs to change to reach your goals.

  • We will also do a writing sample with your child. If you have a sample of your child's work that is truly their own (no adult help, not copied, not corrected) please bring it. If not, I can have your child spontaneously write something during the session, so we can analyze their natural spelling processes.

  • As your child read and writes, I will carefully observe their errors and successes. This observation helps identify their thought processes, strategies, and where support is needed.

About Me

Hi, I'm Ms. Mia and my company is Unique Teach.

With over 20 years of experience working as a certified teacher in early childhood and as a private tutor, I have successfully taught hundreds of kids to read & spell.

These were kids that weren't responding well to many common teaching methods, even though they were highly capable.

I am confident that through the Free Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic we can get to the bottom of your child's reading and spelling issues so that learning and confidence can finally move forward.

Before you schedule:

The Free Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic works best for families who are ready to be actively involved in their child's learning and support steady, consistent progress.

Ask yourself:

  • Am I willing to work alongside with my child at home?

  • Am I open to learning and trying methods that are different from conventional worksheets, flashcards, and similar approaches?

  • Am I committed to working with my child diligently and consistently over time, as indicated?

If these apply to your family, the session is likely a great fit- and you are welcome to book your free 30-minute Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic below.

Are you willing to work with your child and try something different?

Let's clear up any doubts!

Do I need anything to prepare for the Free Reading & Spelling Diagnostic?

Yes. Please have a writing sample that is truly your child's own work. But if you don't have a sample, that's fine- I can have your child spontaneously write something during the session.

If you have a book at the target reading level you want your child to reach, you can bring that too.

How long is the Free Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic?

The diagnostic takes 30 minutes. During this time, we'll assess your child's reading and spelling, review current methods, and discuss actionable steps.

Are you going to assess my child's reading and spelling level during the Free Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic?

No, I will not officially assess your child's reading or spelling level, but you can show me a book they are currently reading at school and provide me a sample text of the target level you want them to reach. From there, I can give you guidance on how to help your child achieve the desired reading and spelling levels.

Are you going to diagnose my child with dyslexia, ADHD, etc. during the Free Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic?

No, I will focus on the instructional methods that will address your child's current reading and spelling challenges.

I will consider the thought processes your child demonstrates while reading and spelling, and provide advice on the best methods to help them improve.

The methods I use are specifically developed and effective for neurodiverse children, such as those with dyslexia, ADHD, and more.

What if my child is shy or reluctant to read?

That's completely normal! The session is gentle and supportive. I focus on understanding your child's thinking and strategies in a stress-free environment.

Will I be expected to buy anything afterward?

No. This session is designed to give you clarity and insight. You are welcome to explore ongoing support afterward, but there is no obligation.

How can I ask questions regarding the Free Reading & Spelling Root-Cause Diagnostic that are not covered in these FAQs?

You can get answers to your questions by writing me at mia@uniqueteach.com (no spam will be answered.)

I wasn't sure what was going wrong with my child's reading. The diagnostic gave me clarity and practical insight into how he thinks while reading and spelling.
