At Bēhere, we believe earlier is not better and that it's best when children learn at their own pace and typically with as much self-directed passion as possible. When it comes to reading, there are some best practices and proven methods that will ensure your reader launches successfully into their independent reading journey and becomes, not just a fluent reader, but a lover of great stories! This reading workshop is designed for the active and imaginative student who is an early reader or who is ready to “catch up” (and pass up). This workshop is for readers ready to master reading fluency and become an independent, read-to-learn student. We don’t assign grade levels or ages to this class but this is best designed for children who have a knowledge of basic phonics (know all/most of their single letter sounds) and are starting to blend. This workshop will increase skills in blending, fluency and advanced phonics knowledge using proven speech-to-print curriculum and infusing some of our own custom-designed methods curated for the active child with or without learning differences.

Jenna Wylie is a first-year homeschool mom to two vibrant children aged 6 and 9. With a deep-seated passion for nurturing children with connection, integrity, and effectiveness, Jenna embarked on a journey that diverged from her previous career path in Chemical Engineering.
After twelve years in biotechnology, Jenna found herself drawn to homeschooling when her children didn't quite fit into the traditional school mold and struggled with reading. Determined to provide them with the best education possible, Jenna immersed herself in the world of teaching literacy. Over the past three years, she has explored various reading programs, from Orton-Gillingham phonics-based approaches to the more recent linguistics speech-to-print method. Through dedicated experimentation and adaptation, Jenna has witnessed remarkable progress in her children's reading abilities, embracing methods that are not only effective but also enjoyable.
Beyond her commitment to her own family's education, Jenna is passionate about fostering a vibrant homeschooling community. She believes in the power of parents working together to support and uplift their children's educational journeys. With her wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience, Jenna is eager to share her insights and expertise with other homeschooling families, creating a supportive network where parents can learn and grow together.
