Testimonials

My daughter Sophia worked with Elizabeth twice a week, and although reading has never been something she enjoys, Elizabeth made the sessions productive and encouraging. I appreciated Elizabeth's structured approach which helped Sophia stay on track and build confidence. Sophia made clear progress in her literacy skills under Elizabeths guidance. I would highly reccommend Elizabth Reenstra to any family seeking a knowledgeable and highly professional literacy specialist.

I've been a student of Ms. Elizabeth for many years, and the support she provides is truly irreplaceable. From my first day with her to now, three and a half years later, I’ve experienced tremendous academic growth through kindness, patience, and compassion. Ms. Elizabeth has guided me through challenges from the end of middle school through high school. It has been an amazing journey, and I’m incredibly grateful for the progress I’ve made because of her. I look forward to continuing my learning under such a dedicated and exceptional teacher.

We feel extremely fortunate that our son has been able to work with Elizabeth. Under her guidance his school work and confidence in reading and writing have improved immensely. Most importantly he really enjoys working with Elizabeth. In his own words ‘Elizabeth is so kind and patient.’

As a parent-teacher team, I felt a useful part of the process while being able to trust Elizabeth with the heavier lifting that she clearly has expertise in. My children both improved their reading and writing skills which set them up for success in later grade levels. My favorite outcome is when I see my children enjoying a good book as they now read for fun.

We were so fortunate to find Elizabeth--a literacy and dyslexia specialist. Elizabeth worked with my 8-year-old daughter, Eva, with incredible expertise and the patience of a seasoned teacher. She followed a very clear program to strengthen Eva's phonemic understanding and build decoding skills while establishing a really great rapport with her. We are very grateful for the critical work she did and the support and guidance she provided to me as a parent as I began the journey of understanding and advocating for my daughter's learning needs. If you have the opportunity to work with her, take it. You won't find a better prepared professional in this field.

Elizabeth was one of the best teachers I have ever seen in my twenty-nine years in education. Not only did she have a wealth of research-based reading knowledge, she assumed a leadership role within our school. The impact Elizabeth had on our school is still felt today and I am so grateful that Elizabeth has continued to be a resource for us!

About Elizabeth

I have been a strong advocate for equity and inclusion in literacy instruction for the past 19 years, working to align practices with research- and evidence-based approaches. My experience spans roles as a classroom teacher, reading specialist and Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist. Along the way, I’ve worked with diverse students, families, and schools across three continents—experiences that have continually shaped my understanding of how children learn across languages and grow from novice to expert readers.
