About Us.
Our Approach.
At The Reading Studio, our mission is to empower every child with evidence-based reading and pre-reading instruction. Extensive research has revealed that learning to read is not an innate skill, and many children encounter challenges with standard instruction. Through explicit and systematic instruction, we are dedicated to each child in establishing a strong foundation in reading.
Unlocking the Power of Early Literacy in Young Children
Engaging children in early literacy activities is a powerful way to enhance pre-reading skills and reduce the likelihood of encountering reading challenges in the future. Early Literacy classes cater to 3-5 year olds and are designed to foster a love for learning through interactive and fun hands-on activities. Our dedicated teachers are trained in instructional strategies to support young learners in developing essential early literacy skills crucial for reading success.

Hi, I’m Kristen Williams.
I began The Reading Studio to serve families on the North Shore by providing high quality multisensory group instruction and individualized tutoring services to students of all abilities. When I was in elementary school I struggled with reading. It took many years of hard work and intervention to fill in the gaps that I had developed in my phonological awareness and phonics skills. Because of this, I’m passionate about helping others on their reading journey. I have been a classroom teacher, a reading specialist, a private tutor and have team taught and helped develop multiple reading courses for public school teachers and reading specialists.
