Helping children build confidence, character, and a lifelong love of reading through engaging tools, peer mentorship, and superhero-inspired learning experiences.
CEO R.I.T. SQUAD™
R.I.T. SQUAD™ Readers in Training™ was created to give every child the chance to experience the joy and confidence that comes from reading. As an educator for over 20 years, I have seen how reading struggles can quickly affect not only academics, but also a child’s self-esteem and future opportunities. My motivation comes from wanting to change that storyensuring students from all backgrounds have access to tools, encouragement, and role models who make reading exciting, empowering, and achievable.
