About Us
Hi, I'm Mrs. Brands.
As a speech therapist and literacy educator, I've seen firsthand how reading struggles affect far more than report cards. They affect confidence, curiosity, participation, and how children see themselves. The Story Circle was created to give families the structured literacy support they deserve through engaging, research-based instruction that helps children become confident readers and writers.
I'm honored to be part of your child's literacy journey.
OUR PROMISE
We can't promise overnight results.
We can promise:
Intentional instruction.
Evidence-based teaching.
A nurturing environment.
Lots of encouragement.
A place where your child will always know they belong.
Because confident and capable readers start here.
We are Built on the Science of Reading
Everything we teach is rooted in decades of literacy research—not trends.
Our instruction includes:
Explicit phonics instruction, Phonemic awareness, Decoding, Encoding (spelling), Fluency, Vocabulary, Reading comprehension, Writing instruction, Morphology, Oral language
Every lesson is intentionally designed to strengthen the skills that create lifelong readers.
Readers aren’t born, they’re built.
— Mrs. Brands, Founder of The Story Circle
