As a recognized expert in reading for the past 20 years, Dr. Carroll delivers actionable steps to parents in an easy to follow format that even the busiest parents can work into their day. She has fine-tuned her unique system that knows how to grab kids’ attention and keep it focused on the right activities that promote a healthy, well-rounded child who reads because he wants to read. No arguing, no nagging.
“Dr. Carroll is our saving grace! Our son was glued to the TV playing video games night and day. She showed us how to turn him around with love and a firm hand to get him back on track and learn to enjoy reading. At 11 years old, we thought we’d never get Michael to read but we did and now he loves it, all with Dr. Carroll’s guidance!” Holly and Ben, San Francisco
