Hi! I'm April Coggins, the owner of bright minds Tutoring.

I'm a Certified Dyslexia Therapist and Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist with over 15 years of experience helping struggling readers succeed.

My journey began as a mom watching my own son struggle with severe dyslexia, which inspired me to earn a Master's in Special Education and multiple reading specialist certifications. My unique combination of professional expertise and personal experience allows me to create materials that are both scientifically sound and genuinely engaging for children who struggle with reading.

In addition to the Pick Your Own Path Books, I offer a range of specialized resources for struggling readers.

Parents can access my Reading Rescue Toolkit with strategies for home support, and my Demystifying Dyslexia Course to gain a better understanding of how their child learns.

Educators (and parents) can explore the Making Phonics Fun Toolkit for classroom and tutoring implementation. 

For those seeking more personalized support, I offer virtual workshops and consultation services.

My goal is to provide tools that make reading both effective and enjoyable for children at all stages of their reading journey.

My approach was born from necessity when traditional methods weren't working for my dyslexic son. Through years of specialized training, I discovered that combining evidence-based reading science with high-interest, engaging activities produced remarkable results - not just with my son, but with hundreds of struggling readers in my tutoring practice.

I noticed that when children enjoyed the learning process, their progress accelerated dramatically.

Every resource I create follows this philosophy: rigorous, science-based instruction disguised as fun!

I continually refine my materials based on what works in real tutoring sessions with real struggling readers, ensuring everything I offer has been proven effective with the children I work with daily.
