Is Your Child Ready for Kindergarten?

Reading Pro Virtual Learning was founded by Shamile Childs — educator, former assistant principal, and literacy specialist — after years of seeing firsthand how students struggle when they entered kindergarten without strong foundational skills.

Throughout my career in classrooms and school leadership, I witnessed capable, bright children fall behind not because they lacked potential, but because they started school unprepared. That experience shaped my passion for early literacy and whole-child foundational learning.

I believe that every child can succeed when instruction meets them where they are.

My philosophy is simple:
If a child does not learn in the way we teach, we must teach in the way they learn.

Reading Pro exists to partner with families in building confident learners from the very beginning — through intentional, engaging instruction in literacy, writing, math, and discovery-based learning.
