I have been using EBLI with students in different schools and with various families. We have been so excited about the results we have seen---both in the data and in the learning that has transferred across all schooling and life!

I provide Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction, which has what research says is needed in effective reading intervention: it is explicit, systematic, and multi-sensory.
Additionally, it is interactive, accelerated, effective, and the skills integrate across all subjects and areas of life.

We have been working with April for several months, and the progress my daughter has made is wonderful. Her reading skills have significantly improved, and we’ve also seen noticeable improvement in her vocabulary, handwriting, and confidence with language. Her ability to tell a story and understand basic grammar concepts has grown tremendously.
April consistently creates a supportive, encouraging environment and truly meets my daughter where she is. The skills she’s developing are clearly carrying over into her schoolwork and everyday communication. I would highly recommend her to any family looking for a knowledgeable and caring reading specialist.
