welcome to my world
Hey! I’m Tamara Braxton, the quirky creative helping you PREP!
As a mom of two and a passionate advocate for literacy, I have nearly two decades of experience as a Reading Specialist, working with both beginning and struggling readers. Having personally overcome reading challenges, I understand the transformative power of in-home learning and the importance of building strong connections between home and school.
​
That's why I created PREP. In order to be a part of a multi-facited solutions focused on helping parents of struggling and beginning readers foster a love for reading through engaging, effective activities. Our goal is to empower young readers to thrive and build strong literacy skills, ensuring every child can achieve reading success with confidence and joy.
A special thank you to the Decatur Education Foundation and the Beacon Hill Middle School PTA for their financial support in bringing this project to life.
