Testimonials

Kind words from educators, families, and students.

Literacy SparkED is built around thoughtful, individualized instruction that helps students grow their skills, confidence, and independence.

Tracy’s work is grounded with a strong passion for supporting students with literacy. Her work with small groups was research-based, focused and data driven. She is smart and diligent in her work, going above and beyond for students, and staff, who she often provided valuable insight to.

Throughout my time working alongside Tracy, I consistently observed her deep knowledge and skill in supporting our student community. She has a natural ability to build positive relationships with students and approaches every interaction with warmth, patience, and kindness.

Tracy creates welcoming and supportive learning environments where students feel safe, valued, and encouraged to take risks in their learning. One of Tracy’s greatest strengths is her ability to design engaging and individualized learning experiences that thoughtfully meet students where they are at academically and emotionally.

Tracy is dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in the success and well-being of the students she supports.

Before working with Tracy, my daughter, age 8, was struggling in school and was falling through the cracks. We didn’t have the tools to effectively help her decode words and build those critical skills. She had been relying on memorized sight words and became frustrated with new or multi-syllable words. Reading and writing were a daily struggle, often resulting in tears, and we were at our wits’ end.

From the beginning, Tracy took the time to truly understand where my daughter was at. She identified her actual reading level and created a personalized plan that built strong foundational skills while steadily helping her progress. After each session, my daughter would come home excited to share what she had learned, often with games and activities that reinforced her new skills in a fun and engaging way.

What once caused daily frustration in our home has been completely transformed. Tracy was able to break through not just the academic challenges, but also the emotions and behaviours tied to them. In a matter of months, my daughter went from avoiding reading to becoming a confident, capable reader.

She now enjoys books, asks to go to the library, and is reading at a level close to her peers. Her teacher was amazed by her progress, not only in reading and writing, but also in her independence and overall confidence at school.

We cannot recommend Tracy highly enough for any family with a child struggling in reading and writing. She has truly made a lasting difference in my daughter’s life.

When I started I didn’t know how to read so well. The reading games were fun and I liked playing them with Tracy. I got so much better at reading and practiced so much that I’m starting to read chapter books. I even won a draw at school for reading every day! I like reading now and I didn’t like to read before. I had so much fun with Tracy.
