About Jennifer
Hi, I am Jennifer Rawlings, and I specialize in helping beginning, reluctant, and struggling readers learn to read in a way that feels safe, supportive, and confidence-building.
I use a Science of Reading–based phonics approach, breaking reading down into clear, manageable steps so children can truly understand how reading works — without pressure, rushing, or frustration. My classes are structured, but playful, gentle, and encouraging, so children feel successful from the very start.
I believe confidence comes first. When children feel comfortable, seen, and supported, real learning happens. I celebrate small wins, meet each child where they are, and help reading finally click in a way that feels possible — and even fun.
My goal isn’t just to teach reading skills. It’s to help children leave class feeling capable, proud, and ready to keep trying — because every child can learn to read with the right support.

I teach reading the way children’s brains are wired to learn it. Instead of guessing at words, children learn how sounds connect to letters, how to blend sounds into words, and how reading actually works — through playful, engaging, hands-on lessons.
Clear, structured phonics instruction backed by research
Designed for beginning, reluctant, and struggling readers
Gentle, encouraging lessons that build confidence and reduce frustration
Focus on real progress, not pressure
Small, supportive learning environment
This class helps reading finally click by giving children the tools they need — in a way that feels safe, successful, and encouraging.
Perfect for children who need a strong start or extra support with reading.

Ms. Rawlings has been offering her Storytime program around my area for years. She really knows how to draw students in and hold their attention all the way to the end of experiments! I recommend her services if you are interested in thinking outside the box and having fun WHILE learning!
