Speak2Read

Trent was great! We had him assess and do speech therapy with our daughter. He was very positive and encouraging and our daughter really enjoyed working with him.

I appreciate Trent's advice whenever I have questions about my young students' reading. He's been very helpful on several occasions, even if it's just with a quick tip!

We have been bringing our daughter to see Trent for just over a year now, and have seen a big improvement in her reading, understanding and confidence. He is very patient and has lots of fun games to make learning fun. With COVID we were able to continue our meetings over zoom with no issues at all. I am able to sit in on the sessions, which allows me to see what they are working on, so I can help her out at home in between meetings.

Trent did a great job of teaching us as parents how we can encourage our daughter to speak. We left our first meeting feeling really encouraged and motivated. I can't wait to see the results that I know will happen quickly now that we have the right tools.

We worked with Trent for several months. We didn't feel as though a positive relationship was established with our son. We also did not notice, or have evidence of, improvement in his reading. When we switched to a different company, our son's reading improved dramatically and quickly.

Trent and Speak2Read have been an invaluable resource for the development of our children! They have so much insight into how every child learns to speak and read. Knowing how and why in understandable language makes a difference for my family.

Our 7 year old son struggles with reading. His teachers from kindergarten to grade 2 encouraged us to continue reading daily with him. We noticed daily reading was not improving his ability to read and his confidence was diminishing. We took it upon ourselves to seek out a professional to complete an assessment for our son. We are incredibly grateful to have found Trent. Our son completed a 2.5 hour assessment with Trent, which revealed numerous areas of struggle for our son. This confirmed our suspicions that his challenges would require professional help beyond our ability and knowledge. Trent is absolutely amazing in so many ways. He is patient and positive with our son even when our son is moody and having a difficult time focusing. Trent finds ways through his many tools in his toolbox to engage with our son resulting in a positive experience and outcome every session. Trent is incredibly knowledgeable in the area of reading. He has studied different methods and is up to date on research. During my son's once per week Zoom session with Trent, we as parents also learn by listening and watching the tools and techniques Trent incorporates into his session. He follows up by sending us activities to print out to continue the work with our son during the next 6 days in between sessions. This is definitely a collaborative approach between Trent and us in that helping our son learn to read takes more than just a 1 hour professional session per week. It takes dedication and perseverance from us as well. Trent is very organized and punctual bringing to each session a plan and activities using various methods and tools that keep our son engaged. Honestly, we have so many positive things to say about Trent. We truly encourage others to seek out his help even if it is just a 30 minute consult regarding your concerns. Our son has made significant progress in the areas of decoding (including phonics and structural analysis), vocabulary, and fluency. Most of all, his confidence is growing!

2 hours with a stranger I think is way too long and my child was not comfortable.The environment is a bit sterile for children.

Trent, I wanted to take this time to thank you.You have a natural, calm way about you and your lessons show this. You are so authentic when you speak.You have shown 100% commitment to your work with me! Your talent and patience is remarkable.Thank you for all that you do!Sincerely,Hayley Kelly

Both Trent and Tracey are amazing. My son enjoys going to the sessions as they make learning fun. He has come so far with both his speech and literacy skills with their help and guidance. I highly recommend Speak2Read for anyone looking for help with speech, reading or both!
