How can we help?
At Okanagan Literacy Centre, we believe every student deserves the confidence that comes with strong reading and writing skills. Many students in our community are bright and capable but find themselves falling behind in traditional classroom settings.
We bridge that gap. Using evidence-based, 1-on-1 coaching, we provide the specialized intervention needed to restore academic standing and self-esteem.
Whether your child is navigating early literacy hurdles or simply needs some additional support, our tailored approach ensures measurable progress.

"You are gentle, fun, and positive. It is obvious that you care for your students and want them to feel comfortable and confident. The biggest win was seeing him apply what he is learning independently. A truly positive experience!" —

Grade 3 parent
"Our son's experience at the Okanagan Literacy Centre has been so positive. The biggest breakthrough this year has been seeing him apply what he is learning independently! Laura is gentle, fun, and positive. It is obvious that she cares for her students and wants them to feel comfortable and confident. Her descriptive feedback was also very helpful!"
School Principal
"The leadership and commitment that Laura exhibits to both staff, students and to furthering her education is inspiring for many. Her problem solving skills, ability to remain calm and professional in difficult situations and her organizational ability will serve her well and it will most definitely positively impact the BC education system."

Who we help - and how
We don’t just teach reading. We teach children.
Our lessons are designed to meet each student where they are, helping them feel capable, understood, and motivated again. Every small success builds confidence—and over time, real progress. The goal is to equip students with tools for lifelong literacy success.
