Hi, I'm Lauren
Meet Lauren, she’s the teacher and voice behind Kickstart Reading.
As an elementary and special education teacher for more than 10 years, Lauren has always LOVED teaching reading.
In 2017, Lauren decided to extend her passion for teaching reading to outside the classroom. She teamed up with her brother, Rob, and together they developed Kickstart Reading.
Lauren’s philosophy has always been that kids excel when they are encouraged, having fun, and gaining confidence. She brings this same approach and positive energy to Kickstart Reading.
Lauren’s also a mom to three kids, Brody (10), Jake (8), and Liv (4). She knows first hand how busy life can be. That’s why the Kickstart Reading videos are only 2 minutes long.
The truth is that kids already get screen time, so why not give your kids screen time you can feel good about?
