Praise for Hammond Reading Academy

I can’t sing Becky’s praises loudly enough! In just a few months’ time, she helped our daughter develop from a struggling and frustrated non-reader into a confident, happy first grader reading solidly at grade level. In our private tutoring with her, Becky was the epitome of professional – always completely prepared with a detailed game plan, customized materials, and clear instructions on how we could follow-up with support at home. Becky is hugely knowledgeable about and experienced in helping struggling readers of all types, and clearly loves what she does. She is also kind, warm, and funny, and we all loved working with her!

We have had a great experience working with Becky. My daughter was falling behind grade level expectations in reading at school and through her work with Becky, has made noticeable gains. We continue to work together and I would recommend Becky to anyone with a child struggling with reading.

It has been my extreme pleasure to work with, learn from, and teach together with the fabulous Becky Hammond. Becky is passionate in her pursuit to teach children to read. She has a gift in applying reading instruction techniques, strategies and skills to all children. Becky has the ability to figure out quickly and with amazing accuracy what each child needs and meets them where they are. Using the latest research, phoneme- grapheme mapping, assessments and her professional discretion, Becky makes learning to read fun and engaging. Becky has generously shared her knowledge and expertise with me over the years and has transformed me into a successful reading instructor. Collaboration and a belief that all kids can be successful are Mrs. Hammond’s greatest strengths. She is spectacular!
