THE JOURNEY
How A Literacy Specialist
Became A Founder
THE CLASSROOM
Building Philosophy
Years of direct classroom and literacy-specialist experience shaped a structured-literacy foundation and a growing frustration with how rarely evidence-aligned instruction was made to feel joyful.
THE TURN
Writing The First Book
Phonics Read-Alouds® began as an answer to a real gap: instruction that was both rigorous and genuinely engaging for kids. What started as a classroom tool became a brand.
BUILDING THE PLATFORM
Author, Founder, And Creator
National Schwa Day launched. Training videos crossed 2.6 million views. What began as classroom resources grew into a full body of work: books, a brand, and a movement.
NOW
Literacy Leader, and Continued Advocacy
Today, Yvette works with organizations who want evidence-aligned literacy content that people actually want to learn from. With real experience and continued learning, Yvette stays abreast of up-to-date reading research.
PHILOSOPHY
What She Believes About Literacy Instruction
Rigor First
Every book, video, and training is grounded in the science of reading evidence-aligned, and evidence-based.
Joy Is Not Optional
Making literacy engaging is part of the method, not a replacement for depth. Kids and educators deserve both.
Built For Educators & Families
Every resource is designed with the up-to-date children's literature standards, while incorporating decoding skills, children's interests and intentional vocabulary/ word choice.
