Description

At Words in the Wild we are motivated by a vision of children growing into confident, courageous readers, surrounded by people who believe in them and have the skills to put that belief into action.

Our approach (grounded in nature and infused with joy) develops skills, confidence and critical thinking by sparking innate curiosity — kids become scientists who investigate words in the same ways that they’d investigate the details of a maple leaf or a butterfly. We specialize in connecting with neurodiverse learners because we believe that every child deserves the power, joy, and freedom of learning to read and write in a positive, affirming environment.
